Product Details

About the Book

Since his mother's death six years ago, Carter Kane has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the globe with his brilliant Egyptologist father, Dr. Julius Kane, while his younger sister Sadie has grown up with their grandparents in London. The siblings, now near-strangers to one another, are brought together one night by their father for what he calls a "research experiment" at the British Museum — but the experiment goes catastrophically wrong when he accidentally unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes their father to oblivion and forces Carter and Sadie to flee for their lives.

Sadie and Carter soon discover that they are godlings — when the Rosetta Stone exploded, Isis, the goddess of magic, chose Sadie as her host, while Horus, the falcon god of war, chose Carter, and the House of Life forbids magicians from hosting gods, with death as the penalty. With a death threat hanging over their heads, the siblings embark on a dangerous, globe-spanning quest — from Cairo, through the mysterious realm of the Duat, and into a final confrontation in the Arizona desert — racing to stop Set from destroying the world while uncovering the truth about their family and its links to a secret order dating back to the time of the pharaohs.
