Alchemy, prophecy, and a stolen book

The opening volume of the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel turns the historical figure into the center of a fantasy adventure about a book with world-threatening power. When Dr. John Dee steals the Book of Abraham the Mage, twins Sophie and Josh Newman become tied to a prophecy that may give them a chance to stop him. Their role depends on learning to use abilities they have not yet mastered. The setup brings together alchemy, immortality, magic, and a struggle over who controls dangerous knowledge, establishing the series’ central conflict.
