Quickly we learn many truths. We learn that Nicholas Flamel is very
old. He was born in 1330. Yes more then 670 years ago. And that over
these many years he has been everything from a Physician to a Cook.
From a Bookseller to a Soldier. From a Teacher of Languages to a Teacher
of Chemistry. Even from an Officer of the Law to a Thief. And we do
learn that even before all these things, he was first, foremost and
had always been, an Alchemyst.
It's true to say we learn many things about the Famous Nicholas Flamel.
A world famous Alchemist and celebrity to many a King and Emperor.
Yet one question is left hanging in mid air. Like a small spiders
web of doubt we are left asking;
Can we trust Nicholas Flamel?
Our two companions on this marvellous journey through History and
Mystery. Time and Magic. Are twins, Josh and his sister Sophie. The
Twins of Destiny as prophesied by a very strange yet powerful book.
A book that must be retrieved. No matter what.
As a side note:
The name Josh means: God rescues
The name Sophie means: Wisdom
Something to keep in mind when reading the books.
