Publisher 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 two of the New York Times bestselling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. The Enemies: Dr. John Dee and Niccolo Machiavelli. Their Plan: Steal the rest of what Nicholas Flamel has fought to protect.    John Dee has the Book of Abraham the Mage, which means the world is on the brink of ruin. Except he's missing two cruscial pages, pages that Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and the legendary warrior Scatty have taken to Paris.    But Paris is teeming with enemies--and old acquaintances like Nicollo Machiavelli. On the run and with time running out for Nicholas and his wife, Perenell, Sophie must learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there’s only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel’s old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain—alchemist, magician, and rock star. “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 Read the whole series!

"As the second book in the series it kicks off right where the first one ended. Nicholas and the twins are in paris which is home to numerous dark elders and enemies but Nicholas is able to find saint german and Sophie gets trained in the elemental magic of fire. Josh gets his hands on clarent the sword of fire and twin the excalibre the sword of ice which dee has. As Machiavelli is given orders from his dark elder to capture the twins as dee arrives in paris. The second book in the series is just as good as the first and adds a different way to see mythological history."

    " I liked this book. I found it easier to "get into" than the first one, probably because there is now backstory and the characters are more developed. It was a lot of action, and not as predictable as the first book. I look forward to the next installment in the series to see what trouble these characters get into next. "

    " This book is even better than the first. I love the new characters and can't wait to see what Machavelli has up his sleeve. Also while certain parts of the book are certainly predictable there was enough unexpected twists (or just plain lack of the expected) to keep me interested. "

    " I read the first book in this series for a book club. Not my normal genre of literature but I found it interesting. It is like a mystery, trying to figure out who controls Dee. Plus there is tons of action trying to evade different monsters and characters. I especially like that this book took place in Paris and mentions lots of historical places. Plus, using different characters from history like Macchiavelli and Joan of Arc make it interesting. "
