They say he died in the fourteenth century. But his tomb was empty. No body. No bones. Just silence.
Nicholas Flamel—a name etched into dusty grimoires and whispered in secret circles. A medieval scribe who, legend claims, unlocked the secrets of the Philosopher’s Stone. Gold from lead. Life from death. Immortality.
For over six centuries, he’s been spotted across Europe—unchanged. Ageless. Watching. Join Keith as he opens the ancient doors and steps into the shadows, where fact and fable bleed together. Was Flamel just a clever man with a good story? Or did he truly conquer death… and vanish into alchemical darkness?
Light your candle. Hold your breath. The hunt for the undying alchemist begins.
