Sophie and Josh return home, unsure what to tell their Aunt about their adventures of the past few days. They certainly can't tell her the truth. As they walk up the road, they notice a car outside the house.

Curious and hesitant, they approach the car. A woman exits and they believe it's someone they know. However, almost too late, they realize it's an identical twin. Sophie ends up kidnapped and Josh left scrambling behind.

In order to save his sister, he travels back to the start of their adventure, the Flamels. Once he confides in them, they quickly follow after Sophie.

The Flamels don't have much time and they have already decided to fight before things spiral too far out of control, even though it might be the last thing they accomplish. They find Sophie and those watching over her. Together, they come up with a plan of attack.

Before they can accomplish their goals, they request someone to awake the fire powers in Josh. He readily agrees to the plan, already feeling inferior to his twin.

However, the Flamels didn't consider Dr. Dee in their planning. While his masters aren't pleased with his failures, Dr. Dee always has a plan. This plan includes taking over the world, but he needs Josh in order to set his plan in motion. Will Josh cross over to the other side and leave his twin and the Flamels behind?

The fourth book in this wonderful series won't disappoint fans with its magic, history, mythology, clever characters, evil plots, and strong sibling bonds. THE SECRETS OF THE IMMORTAL NICHOLAS FLAMEL is addicting and will leave readers on the edge of their seats.

The Necromancer is the fourth book in this thrilling and magical series. I have not read the first three in the series, but Mr. Scott does a wonderful job of giving just enough information that I wasn't too lost. However, I would like to go back and read the first three books. I'm a big Harry Potter fan, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened up The Necromancer, but I have to so I was pleasantly surprised.

Josh and Sophie are twins and are coming home after a week of surprises. They are now working on honing their skills and learning everything that they can because they are unsure of what the future holds.

The Magician has a plan to control the world. All he has to do is use the codex, raise the Mother of the Gods from the dead, and gain the help of the creatures of Alcatraz. But, he will need a necromancer to complete the process.

There are a lot of characters, alot of action, thrills, surprises and plot twists to keep you turning the pages in excitement and wonder. An absolutely awesome book! Fantasy lovers will enjoy this one and it may be listed as young adult, but adults will enjoy it too!!
