Do you know the saying, "In every fairy tale, there's a grain of truth"?
In Michael Scott's Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel: The Alchemyst, every fairy tale, myth, legend and stories had some truth in them. In fact, everything that was considered a myth were real!
But for Sophie and Josh Newman, fraternal twins on the cusp of adolescence, believed that these were just that, myths and fantasies. Until Dr. John Dee, the advisor of Queen Elizabeth I, came and attacked the bookstore the Josh worked in and kidnapped his boss' wife along with a special book that his boss owned.
In less than a day, they learned that the old man that owned the bookstore was none other than Nicholas Flamel himself, the famed alchemist that had created the Philosophers' Stone. Everything that they thought was only myth and fantasy suddenly became real, all too real.
What makes is worst that the book that Dr. John Dee was the Book of Abraham, a tome that contained various powerful magicks and the key to bring destruction upon the entirety of humanity; and now, it rests upon them to save the world...or destroy it.
