The Magician Av Michael Scott

<p>Ashes to ashes . . .<br><b>California:</b> The book of Abraham the Mage holds the secret of eternal life - a secret more dangerous than any one man should possess. Dr. John Dee is two pages away from the knowledge that would bring the Dark Elders into ultimate power - and could mean the destruction of the world as we know it.<br>Two people stand in his way: Josh and Sophie Newman.<br><b>Paris</b>: Time is running out for Nicholas Flamel and his wife Perenelle. Every day they spend without the book, they age one year: their magic becomes weaker and their bodies more frail. Niccolo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, works for Dee and is in hot pursuit of them - Flamel knows there's no time to lose and Sophie must learn about Fire Magic...<br>Josh and Sophie are the world's only hope. If they don't turn on each other first.</p>
