Excerpt copyright © 2008 by Michael ScottPublished by Delacorte Press
 
I am tired now, so tired. And I am aging fast. There is a stiffness in my joints, mysight is no longer sharp and I find I have to strain to hear. Over thepast five days I have been forced to use my powers, and that hasspeeded the aging process. I estimate that I have aged by at leasta decade—perhaps more—since last Thursday. If I am to live, Ihave to retrieve the Book of Abraham, and I cannot—I
dare 
not—risk using my powers.But Dee has the Codex, and I know that I will be forced yetagain to use my waning aura.We are about to enter London. I fear this city above all others,for it is at the very heart of Dee’s power. London has attracted El-ders from across the globe: there are more of them in this city thanin any other on earth. Elders and Next Generation move freelyand unnoticed through the streets, and I know of at least a dozenShadowrealms scattered across the British Isles. The last timePerenelle and I were in this city, in September 1666, the Magicianalmost burned it to the ground trying to capture us. We’ve neverbeen back.However, a great number of ley lines meet and converge overthese Celtic lands, and I pray that with the twins’ Awakenedpowers, we can use those lines to return to San Francisco and myPerenelle. And here too is Gilgamesh the King, the oldest immortalhuman in the world. His knowledge is incalculable and encyclo-pedic. It is said that he was once the guardian of the Codex, thathe even knew the mythical Abraham who created the Book. Gil-gamesh also knows all the elemental magics, though strangely, henever possessed the power to use them. The King has no aura.I’ve often wondered what that must be like: to be aware of so
 
 many incredible things, to have access to the wisdom of theancients . . . and yet be unable to use it.I have told Sophie and Josh that I need Gilgamesh to trainthem in the Magic of Water and find us a ley line that will take ushome. What they do not know is that it is a desperate gamble: if the King refuses, then we will be trapped in the very heart of Dee’s domain, with no possibility of escape.Nor have I told them that Gilgamesh is quite, quite insane.
