Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty escape Ojai and arrive in Paris, the City of Lights. Nicholas Flamel's house. This reunion is far from being pleasant. There are a lot of adversaries in Paris, while Perenelle is still imprisoned back in Alcatraz. Dee employs Niccolo Machiavelli, the renowned art collector and immortal writer. Nicholas and Perenelle are running out of time as he pursues them. They age one year for each day they don't have the Book of Abraham the Mage; their bodies get weaker and their magic becomes less potent. Flamel is starting to understand the Prophecy more and more.
It's time for Sophie to become proficient in Fire power, the second elemental power. And the only guy who can teach it to her is Flamel's former pupil, the rock star, magician, and alchemist Comte de Saint-Germain. The only chance for the planet is Josh and Sophie Newman—that is, if they don't turn on one another first.
