I'm pretty sure quite a few people know about Nicholas Flamel, especially if you've read the Harry Potter series. That guy that invented the sorcerer's stone. Well, I found a series known as "The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" by a guy named Michael Scott. They are all about Nicholas Flamel (aka Nick Fleming) and his wife Perenelle Flamel (aka Perry Fleming). They choose to have these code names so that they can stay hidden from an evil dude named Dr. John Dee and the "Dark Elders". The Flamels are trying to protect a book thousands of years old and known as the codex.
The codex keeps the Flamels alive and they are immortal just so long as they make a potion from a recipe in the codex every month. The catch is that the recipe is different each month so that if they lose the codex they will age, wither, and die. Like I said before, they are protecting it from the "Dark Elders" who are trying to steal it and all of its knowledge for their own purposes. Some include using the human race as slaves or even as food. They manage to turn other humans over to their purposes by granting them immortality. But the humans can never leave service, for if they do, their immortality will be withdrawn and they will die.
A help in the Flamels battle are the legendary twins, Sophie and Josh. They are prophesied in the Codex, and have extraordinary magical potential. But, to gain power, it has to be awakened, a dangerous and oftentimes deadly process. The big question is if the twins survive and if they will survive the challenges in the rest of the books.
I found this series REALLY entertaining and I think that all you people will like it too:):) By the way, I'm almost positive you can get it on a nook. :)
