The Sorceress (Book Three, The Secrets of the Immortal Flamel)

France is in chaos. On Dee and Machiavelli''s bidding, the Nidhogg leveled most of Paris in it's rampaging attempt to destroy the Twins of Legend, Sophie and Josh Newman. Failing to capture Sophie and Josh or Nicholas Flamel, Dee  and Machiavelli are now in disfavor with their Dark Elder masters. Sophie, Josh and Nicholas have fled to London, seeking asylum from Dee and hoping to gain new allies as well. Flamel knows that he must teach the twins the next elemental magic, Water Magic, if they are to fulfill their destiny as the Twins of Legend, the only ones who can save the world from the Dark Elders. However, the one person who can teach them this Magic is Gilgamesh the King. The only setback, the last time he saw Nicholas Flamel, Gilgamesh thought the Alchemist was trying to kill him. Meanwhile, half way across the world, on Alcatraz, Perenelle Flamel, Nicholas' wife, is still being held on the Island at the mercy of the Sphinx. To survive, she will need to find allies in the most unexpected of places. Luckily, she may have found one, on Alcatraz itself.

The Sorceress is the third book in the series, and the first book in which we meet the Archons, the race that ruled the world before the Elders and Great Elders. Recently, Lorenzo di Bonaventura revealed that he will be producing a movie version of the series. I can't wait to see it!!!
