Since his mother’s death six years ago, Carter Kane has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the globe with his father, the brilliant Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane. But while Carter’s been homeschooled, his younger sister, Sadie, has been living with their grandparents in London. Sadie has just what Carter wants — school friends and a chance at a “normal” life. But Carter has just what Sadie longs for — time with their father. After six years of living apart, the siblings have almost nothing in common. Until now. On Christmas Eve, Sadie and Carter are reunited when their father brings them to the British Museum, with a promise that he’s going to “make things right.” But all does not go according to plan: Carter and Sadie watch as Julius summons a mysterious figure, who quickly banishes their father and causes a fiery explosion. Soon Carter and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking, and the worst of them — Set — has a frightening scheme. To save their father, they must embark on a dangerous journey — a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and its links to the House of Life, a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.

    If you are a mytholigical lover then you will love this book. Especially if you are interesated in Egyptian mythology, the book was enjoyable to read and kept you wanting more.

  • After finishing the Percy Jackson series, I start reading this. However, it is not as attractive as the previous one. It is written as a two persons dialogue but it is a little bit annoying sometimes.

  • This still keeps humorous and is written in a dual narrative way, which is really fresh, but in the end, it turns out those tries don't work as well as Percy Jackson series.

  • After finishing the Percy Jackson series, I was thrilled to find out that Riordan had a new series for me to get into. However, I was quite disappointed by this release, as it simply did not draw me into the character's world as the Jackson books did.
