Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel watch monsters stream from Alcatraz Island toward San Francisco. The legendary Alchemyst and his Sorceress wife have twenty four hours left to live. They must stop the creatures before they destroy the city and everyone in it. Two great warriors from history stand ready to help them fight. Meanwhile, ten thousand years in the past on the island of Danu Talis, twins Sophie and Josh Newman face their own battle. They followed Dr. John Dee and Virginia Dare through time to this legendary place. Now Scathach, Prometheus, Palamedes, Shakespeare, Saint Germain, and Joan of Arc gather on the island.
