Nicholas Flamel, sang Alchemyst, manusia abadi, kembali ke tanah kelahirannya: Paris, Prancis. Bersama Scathach dan si kembar, Sophie dan Josh Newman, kedatangan mereka disambut oleh sang pakar kebohongan, manipulator andal, seorang lelaki Italia ambisius, Niccol Machiavelli. Konon, ia jauh lebih berbahaya dari Dee.
Sementara itu Perenelle Flamel ditawan di Alcatraz, dalam penjagaan ketat sphinx. Namun jika Perenelle menyangka hanya sendirian di pulau kosong itu, ia salah. Alcatraz adalah pulau para hantu. Dan Perenelle bukan satu-satunya tahanan di sana.
Di dua tempat terpisah, Paris dan Alcatraz, mereka harus berjuang mempertahankan dunia dari cengkeraman para Tetua Gelap. Berhasilkah mereka melawan makhluk-makhluk yang hanya muncul dalam mimpi buruk, sementara Flamel semakin menua setiap harinya...?
