I often wonder about the real-life heroes. Now my wife, Perenelle, has been kidnapped and the book stolen. More than this: I discovered the secret Life Eternal hidden deep in a book of ancient magic. I could turn ordinary metal into gold, I could change common stones into precious jewels. I was acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of all, sought after by kings and princes, by emperors and even the Pope himself. I have been many things in my time: a physician and a cook, a bookseller and a soldier, a teacher of languages and chemistry, both an officer of the law and a thief.īut before all of these I was an alchemyst.
Look at me now and it would be hard to put an age upon me, and yet I was born in the Year of Our Lord 130, more than six hundred and seventy years ago. The Alchemyst – The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamelĭeath has no claim over me, illness cannot touch me.
