He''s b-a-a-ack! Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sadie
Kane can''t seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Now Apophis
is threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness, and the
Kanes are faced with the impossible task of having to destroy him
once and for all. Unfortunately, the magicians of the House of Life
are on the brink of civil war, the gods are divided, and the young
initiates of Brooklyn House stand almost alone against the forces
of chaos. The Kanes'' only hope is an ancient spell that might turn
the serpent''s own shadow into a weapon, but the magic has been lost
for a millennia. To find the answer they need, the Kanes must rely
on the murderous ghost of a powerful magician who might be able to
lead them to the serpent''s shadow . . . or might lead them to their
deaths in the depths of the underworld.
Nothing less than the mortal world is at stake when the Kane family
fulfills its destiny in this thrilling conclusion to the Kane
Chronicles.
Exclusive to the paperback edition: "The Son of Sobek", an
exciting new short story from Rick Riordan where Carter Kane meets
Percy Jackson!
