Product description

“I guess it started the night our dad blew up the British Museum…”

Carter and Sadie barely know each other, let alone their father, the brilliant Egyptologist Dr Julius Kane. But one night, their father brings them together at the British Museum to carry out an experiment which goes horribly wrong. An explosion smashes the Rosetta stone, unleashing a cruel and ancient evil: the Egyptian deity Set, the god of chaos and the night. With their father imprisoned in a golden coffin, Carter and Sadie must embark on a dangerous quest, racing from Cairo and Paris to the American Southwest in a desperate attempt to save their father – and their world. En route, they discover their family’s connection to the House of Life: an Egyptian temple of magic that has existed for thousands of years. It seems that the pharaohs of ancient Egypt are far from dead and buried. And, unfortunately, so are their gods…

Rip-roaring adventure steeped in Ancient Egyptian mythology from Rick Riordan, the author of the Percy Jackson books.

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.
