The Kane Chronicles #2 : The Throne of Fire

Literary awards - Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Middle Grade & Children's (2011).

One curse. Two Heroes. Five days to save the world.

As the Griffin fixed its voracious gaze on Sadie, I urged, "Sadie, drop the scroll."

"But it's stuck to my hand!" she protested, amidst the flames enveloping her. "And did I mention I'm on fire?"

The scroll seemed to unleash a torrent of Egyptian magic, leaving Walt and Jaz frozen in shock at their first encounter with a monster.

Stepping towards my sister, I knew trouble had dogged us ever since the ancient gods of Egypt were unleashed in the modern world. Descendants of the magical House of Life, Sadie and I wielded powers, but now a formidable adversary loomed—Apophis, the colossal serpent of chaos.

With only five days before the world's end, Carter and Sadie must thwart Apophis. Their task: to resurrect the sun god Ra, an unprecedented feat. To achieve this, they must locate three sections of the Book of Ra scattered across the globe and master its arcane incantations.

Can the Kanes halt Apophis before he devours the sun, condemning the earth to eternal darkness?

Narrated through two distinct and humorous voices, featuring an array of unforgettable characters and globe-trotting adventures, this second installment in the Kane Chronicles promises an exhilarating ride.
