I am writing a Young Adult novel about Obsidian Pinchbeck, who is a normal eighth grader interested in magic when one day he discovers his Beginner’s Guide to the Hocus Pocus Manual has actual spells and powers.
When Obsidian and his friend Madi, from Kazakhstan, return to the bookstore to get some answers about the magic book, they find that the book had once belonged to the immortal German alchemist, Comte Saint-Germain, who—until his unexplained disappearance in 1784—dined with kings, manipulated metals and pearls, and who maintained an amazing youthfulness; Voltaire even once remarked that the alchemist was someone “who never dies.”
Obsidian and Madi then begin to uncover more mysterious clues each time Obsidian uses the spell book, until finally Obsidian’s destiny is revealed.
