Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the
modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in
trouble. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have
some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven't given
them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which
has become a training ground for young magicians. And now their
most threatening enemy yet - the chaos snake Apophis - is
rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few
days' time, the world will come to an end. In other words, it's
a typical week for the Kane family.  To have any chance of
battling the Forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god
Ra. But that would be a feat more powerful than any magician has
ever accomplished. First they have to search the world for the
three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to
chant its spells. Oh, and did we mention that no one knows where
Ra is exactly?
