Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in jeopardy ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were let loose in the present world. The crafty gods haven't given the Kanes much time to hone their abilities at Brooklyn House, which has turned into a training ground for aspiring magicians, despite the fact that they are descended from the House of Life and possess some talents.
And now the chaos serpent Apophis, their greatest danger to yet, is on the rise. The world is about to end if they don't stop him from escaping in a few days. Put another way, the Kane family is going about their usual week.
The Kanes need to bring the sun god Ra back to life if they are to have a fight against the Forces of Chaos. However, it would be an even more formidable achievement than any magician has ever made.
They must first learn how to recite the spells included in the Book of Ra after searching the globe for its three portions. Oh, and did we also mention that nobody is certain of Ra's precise location?
This second Kane Chronicles book is an absolute thrill trip, with adventures throughout the world, a vast cast of fascinating new characters, and witty narration delivered in two distinct accents.
