Description
Nicholas Flamel appeared in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter—but did you know he really lived? And his secrets aren't safe! Discover the truth in book one of the New York Times bestselling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.
The truth: Nicholas Flamel's tomb is empty.
The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives.
Nicholas Flamel is the greatest Alchemyst to ever live. The records show that he died in 1418, but what if he's actually been making the elixir of life for centuries?
The secrets to eternal life are hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed, and in the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And that's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it.
There is one hope. If the prophecy is true, Sophie and Josh Newman have the power to save everyone. Now they just have to learn to use it.
“The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel has everything you loved about Harry Potter, including magic, mystery, and a constant battle of good versus evil.”—Bustle

I LOVE THE SCENE WHEN PERENELLE LITS DEES CAR ON FIRE BECAUSE SHE WAS PRISONER BUat OH NOOO THAT WWASNT ENOUGH FOR DEE SHE WAS CAPTURED AGAIN AND I WILL NØT LET DEE SURVIve HHAHAHJust A Good Read
5By CaliAgentFijiFantasy Adventure has always spoken volumes to me. 35 years later and fiction such as The Alchemist, just resonates with me. Filling my man/young-adolescent dreams with answers and possibilities for the question I have always asked, “what if these Fictions of grand adventure and good vs. evil fantasy is based on truth,” and if so, “how would the truth be brought up to 20th century comprehension?” This book and series, just makes those questions to finally have an answer. Albeit a spectacular and far-fetched adventure with facts pulled to give the story a surreal credibility. I love it and will continue to recycle this series till I can no longer pick up a book. Glad I discovered this series 9 years ago.Abysmal
1By PJClintI recommend not starting this series. Michael Scott threw in every myth and legend possible into a boiling stew of garbage. Character development is non-existent, the story from book one through six is lazy and inconsistent, and the dialogue is terrible. I read this entire series in search of something decent for my teenage daughter but failed. I would look elsewhere.Easy read
5By Abe1k94It was an easy read, but not too much went on in the first book. It was Over the span of only a few days and not too much happened. Nonetheless, the ending of the book enticed me to read the second book, which I purchased today.Get this book now!!

5By Clasher456I was very skeptic about reading this book my 16 year old cousin said it was a great book and I have to agree with him the story is breathtaking and also most of the book is true.Recommended 100%!!!
5By deathdayparty2The beginning of an amazing series! I can't wait for the final book to come out in May. Harry Potter fans and the like are sure to enjoy this story but it doesn't have anything on the Potter.Fascinating.
