Q.How many books are there in the series?
There are six books in total: The Alchemyst, The Magician The Sorceress, The Necromancer, The Warlock and The Enchantress. Q. Is it true that the six books take place over one month? Yes. All the action in book one, The Alchemyst, occurs over 2 days. Nicholas and Perenelle are aging through the story. They only have a month left to live. Q. Are all the characters in the series based in history and myth? All of the principal characters in the series are drawn from myth and legend from all across the world. Characters like Flamel and Dee were real historical persons. Q. Ojai appears in the book. Is it a real place and how do you pronounce it? Every place in the book exists, and I have visited and stayed and researched in all of them. Ojai, which is pronounced o-high, is a very beautiful city north of Los Angeles. Q. Was the Codex – the Book of Abraham – a real book? The original book no longer exists, but we have very detailed descriptions of it and the drawings it contained, so the evidence certainly suggests that it did exist. Q: Are the Catacombs in Paris real? Yes. Many people believe I’d made them up, but they really do exist and all the details in the book are true to the facts. |
Q: Does Nicholas Flamel's house still exist?
Yes it does and is one of the oldest houses in Paris, still stands today. It is located at 51 Rue de Montmorency and is now a restaurant.
Q: I have written a story featuring your characters – can I send it to you?
Sorry, but I’d rather you didn’t! I have spent years developing the plot for the books, and if by chance your story used something I’ve got planned for the future then I’d have to scrap my idea and come up with something new. Something like that could seriously delay the publication of future volumes.
