Fleeing San Francisco with Nicholas is the only way they can protect themselves and their parents. Unfortunately, this development also means that Josh and Sophie are in grave danger. Nicholas hides the pages, knowing that Dee will come looking for them. When Dee ripped the book out of Josh’s hand, Josh managed to hang on to two pages, pages that describe the Final Summoning - a piece of magic that Dee will need to perform before he can destroy the world. If they don’t get the book back, not only will Nicholas and Perenelle die within the month, but Dee and the Dark Elders will use the Codex to destroy the world and enslave any remaining humans.įortunately, Dee didn’t get the whole Codex. Nicholas explains that the secrets of immortality and endless wealth are the least important information contained within the Codex. Dee, Nicholas’ former apprentice, is likewise old and powerful moreover, Dee is a necromancer who can raise the dead. Nicholas is a powerful alchemist, and both he and Perenelle are accomplished magicians and sorcerers.
Josh and Sophie are shocked when Nick explains that his real name is Nicholas Flamel and that he and Perry (whose real name is Perenelle) are almost 700 years old. Dee uses his foul-smelling magic to overpower the bookstore owner, Nick Flemming, and steal a book: the 10,000-year-old Book of Abraham the Mage, also known as the Codex. John Dee and his trio of otherworldly bodyguards visit the bookstore. Life is pleasant - if not mundane - until Dr.
Sophie has a summer job at a coffee shop, while Josh works at the bookstore across the street. While their parents are on an archaeological dig in Utah, Josh and Sophie Newman, 15-year-old twins, live in San Francisco with their 84-year-old aunt.
