Alchymista umírá a jeho ženě Perenelle zbývá několik dnů. Doktor John Dee je prohlášen za psance a lidskému pokolení hrozí zkáza. Legendární dvojčata – zlato a stříbro – se rozdělila. Jeden svět zachrání a druhý zničí. Kdo je kdo? Sága irského mistra fantasy Michaela Scotta se blíží ke konci.

He holds the secret that can end the world. The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly seven hundred years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life. The records show that he died in 1418. But his tomb is empty. The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects - the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it. Sometimes legends are true. And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.

Dopo "L'alchimista" arriva "Il mago". In California, nelle mani del mago John Dee e dei signori delle tenebre, il libro del mago Abramo potrebbe significare la fine del mondo così come lo conosciamo. Il Codex, il libro più potente di tutti i tempi, contiene i segreti della vita eterna e molti altri pericoli che, se utilizzati da alcuni, possono causare danni irreparabili. Dee è a sole due pagine dal rituale finale che restituirà ai poteri antichi il dominio sugli uomini e sulla terra. Gli unici in grado di fermarlo, Josh e Sofie Newman, si trovano a 1300 chilometri di distanza. A Parigi, dopo la fuga da Ojai, Nikolas, Sofie, Josh e Scatty si ritrovano nella città dei neon e nella casa di Nikolas. Purtroppo, il suo ritorno non è affatto tranquillo. Niccolò Machiavelli, filosofo immortale e collezionista d'arte, vive a Parigi e lavora per John Dee. Insegue la sua preda con determinazione, mentre il tempo per Nikolas e Perenele scorre inesorabilmente. Ogni giorno invecchiano di un anno, le loro capacità si indeboliscono e il loro corpo si deteriora. Flamel non dubita più della profezia sui gemelli e Sofie deve essere iniziata alla magia di un nuovo elemento: il fuoco. Un uomo può insegnarglielo, il conte de Saint-Germain, ex allievo di Flamel, alchimista, mago e attualmente rockstar.
