"Nicholas Flamel is dying.
"This is the time I have feared for so long; this is the night when I might finally become a widow.
"My poor brave Nicholas. Even though he's aged, weakened and utterly exhausted, he sat with Prometheus and me and poured the last of his strength into the crystal skull so we could track Josh into the heart of San Francisco, deep into Dr. John Dee's lair." - Perenelle Flamel
The Warlock is the high-stakes fifth chapter in Michael Scott’s internationally bestselling fantasy epic, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. The ancient prophecy reaches a devastating turning point as the legendary twins, Josh and Sophie Newman, find themselves deeply divided and standing on opposite sides of a brewing global apocalypse. Meanwhile, the dark Elders plot to unleash the terrifying monsters imprisoned within Alcatraz directly onto the streets of San Francisco to wipe out the human race permanently. For the modern world to survive, the mythical, long-lost city of Atlantis—known to history as Danu Talis—must be completely destroyed.
The text opens through a poignant journal entry from Perenelle Flamel, who reveals that her beloved Nicholas is rapidly dying. Even as he ages, weakens, and faces total exhaustion, the legendary Alchemyst pours the very last drop of his fading life force into a mystical crystal skull to track their allies into the heart of a villainous lair. Scott blends real historical figures with ancient global folklore, making this verified first printing an excellent work for fans and collectors of speculative fiction.
