(2) YA Doing research in Prague, high school senior Nora is caught up in an ancient competition between two secret societies racing to build an alchemical device intended to provide limitless knowledge and communion with God. This is a thorough mixture of contemporary American adolescence, the sixteenth-century occult, and atmospheric, historical substance, all dished up with a convoluted plot in Da Vinci Code mode.
