Sacha Winters vive a Parigi e non può morire - almeno fino al suo diciottesimo compleanno. Una maledizione infatti prevede che tutti i primogeniti maschi della sua famiglia muoiano al compimento della maggiore età. Fino ad allora, qualsiasi ferita il ragazzo subisca, il suo corpo si rigenera nel giro di pochi secondi. Dopo averlo scoperto Sacha ha cominciato a trascurare la scuola e a vivere di espedienti, cercando di utilizzare la sua capacità per mettere da parte più soldi possibile per la madre e la sorella minore. Taylor Montclair è invece una brillante studentessa inglese che sta facendo tutto il possibile per essere ammessa a Oxford, e che soffre sempre più spesso di fortissime e inspiegabili emicranie. Conosciutisi tramite Internet, Sacha e Taylor provano un'istintiva simpatia l'uno per l'altra, ma terrificanti creature sono già sulle loro tracce, per assicurarsi che i due ragazzi non si incontrino mai e che la maledizione si avveri... per l'ultima volta. "The Secret Tire" è il primo dei due libri che compongono "Le cronache degli Alchimisti".

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. French teen Sacha Winters can't die. He can throw himself off a roof, be stabbed, even shot, and he will always survive. Until the day when a long-forgotten prophecy says he must die. Worse still, his death will trigger something awful. Something unimaginably deadly. And that day is closing in. Taylor Montclair is a studious English girl, hanging out with her friends and desperate to get into Oxford University, until she starts shorting out the lights with her brain. She's also the only person on earth who can save Sacha. There are just a couple of small problems. The two of them have never met. They live in different countries. And powerful forces will stop at nothing to keep them apart. They have eight weeks to find each other. Will they survive long enough to save the world? This tale of modern alchemy, co-written with the award-winning French author Carina Rozenfeld, is the first book in a two-book series. Reviews for The Secret Fire: This series will appeal to readers who have grown up loving Harry Potter.

You need to get excited about this book. It's like a book version of the really good episodes of Buffy. - Holly Bourne, author of The Manifesto on How to be Interesting 'Just drop everything and get this book! - Sophie Reads YA 'It's been a long time since I read a book in the genre that has made me want more.
