About this ebook
EVER since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed on the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister, Sadie, have been in big trouble.
As descendants of the magical House of Life, they command certain powers. But now a terrifying enemy - Apophis, the giant snake of chaos - is rising.
If Carter and Sadie don't destroy him, the world will end in five days' time. And in order to battle the forces of chaos, they must revive the sun god Ra - a feat no magician has ever achieved. Because first they must search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells . . .
Can the Kanes destroy Apophis before he swallows the sun and plunges the earth into darkness . . . forever?

As with all series, nor as good as the first book, but still great. Left on a bit of a cliffhanger. I'm just happy there's another book. Really good book, lots of twists and turns and unexpected stuff, worth a read.

I read this when I was 9 and picked it up because I liked ricks previous books. I initially thought it would be bad but it was actually quite good.

Awesome...the narration is what allured me. The open ending left me curious for reading the next. A little romance too was included which I loved. Overall great. Sorry for the spoilers.
