The Magician: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

Photograph by Amber Murray
Penned By: Michael Scott

Follow the twins in their continued quest to save or change the world. They are immersed deeply in a magical world that they never knew existed. Sophie will grow more powerful and Josh will grow more skeptical of what is right. Non-stop action and discovery are achieved at a break neck speed. You may have to pause just to take it all in. Michael Scott has brought together a phenomenal array of historical figures and made them immortal. What would you do if you lived forever?

Quote: "Lying flat on her back, Perenelle Flamel stared at the stained stone ceiling directly above her head and wondered how many other prisoners incarcerated on Alcatraz had done the same."

Michael Scott signs The Warlock at Changing Hands Wednesday June 8

Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe is hosting Irish author, Michael Scott, tonight at 7pm. When I spoke with Changing Hands they advised that this is not a ticketed event, however,they do expect a large turn-out. I will be there along with all the kiddos! I'm really looking forward to meeting this brilliant author. (If you're not following him on Facebook or Twitter, you really should be.) Are you coming out?

Unfortunately, I have not found Mr. Scott's calendar of events as of yet, so I don't know where he is going next! You can see his past tour stops on his blog. If you know where his event calendar is, please let me know.

The Warlock is the fifth book in Michael Scott's series, The Secret's of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. The first 4 books are:

The Alchemyst (check out my review)

The Magician (stay tuned for my review on 6/9)

The Sorceress

The Necromancer

The Warlock

Companion Ebook:

The Death of Joan of Arc

The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

Penned By: Michael Scott

The 5th book in the series, The Warlock, came out today!

Michael Scott will be signing at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, AZ, Wednesday June 8th!

If you think you know the tale of Nicholas Flamel, creator of the Sorcerer's Stone, think again. Step into the depths of the great alchemysts and magicians of the past, the people and creatures that have discovered immortality. Explore the lives of people who have lived for thousands of years until today. Here is the beginning of the tale of twins born in the 20th century who will shape our world in ways that these immortals cannot.

Quote: "Sophie and Josh followed Scathach through Hekate's house. There were reminders everywhere that they were inside a tree: everything-- floors, walls and ceilings -- was wooden, and in places, little buds and shoots of green leaves dappled the walls, as if the wood was still growing."

Genus: Fantastical Worlds
Updated: Michael Scott signed my book when he
visited Changing Hands 6/8.
