About the Books. The adventure begins in The Red Pyramid, when Egyptologist Dr Julius Kane unleashes the chaos god Set during an experiment at the British Museum, forcing his children Carter and Sadie to flee across the globe to save him and uncover the truth about their family's ancient magical order, the House of Life. In The Throne of Fire, the siblings must revive the sun god Ra before the serpent of chaos, Apophis, can plunge the world into eternal darkness — racing to gather the scattered sections of the Book of Ra while battling gods, monsters and their own limits as young magicians. The trilogy concludes in The Serpent's Shadow, where Carter and Sadie draw on everything they've learned from the House of Life for a final, high-stakes showdown against Apophis. Told in alternating first-person narration by the witty, warring siblings, the books blend fast-paced action with real emotional depth, exploring family, loss and identity alongside spells, gods and ancient artefacts. Riordan's grounding in real Egyptian mythology gives the fantasy a believable backbone, while his trademark humour keeps the tone light even in dark moments. This paperback collection is a fantastic way to enjoy the complete trilogy in reading order, whether as a first read or a repeat adventur
