__The Magician__ by Michael Scott is the second book of a series. Sophie and Josh Newman are twins that have been through quite a bit of ancient magic reluctantly. Sophie and Josh are thought to be the twins of a prophecy foretold long before the human race ever began. Flamel and the twins with the aid of the ancient warrior Scathach, traveled to Europe through a window that the Witch of Endor created for them at the end of the first book. On the run from John Dee, Flamel and company found refuge with Saint-Germain and Joan of Arc, Immortal humans that live just outside of Paris. Saint-Germain is known as the master of fire, with Sophie's powers awakened, she needs to be taught how to use them. When Flamel, Sophie and Josh thought they were safe, three Valkyries unleashed one of the most horrible creatures of the old world on them, The Nidhogg. The creature swept Scathach away and Josh chased it with the ancient blade Clarent, the blade that killed King Arthur. Just getting hardly a knick on the monstrosity its skin began to burn and corrode away. Not in time through, the Nidhogg dove into the river Seine, dragging Scatty with it. Alone, Josh was picked up by Dee and Machiavelli who decided it was time for him to get his power awakened.
