Overview
Rick Riordan fans get double the mythology in this six-book paperback collection spanning two beloved series. The Kane Chronicles trilogy follows siblings Carter and Sadie Kane as they awaken ancient Egyptian magic to stop the god Set, while the Magnus Chase trilogy sends a homeless teen into the Nine Worlds of Norse legend to prevent Ragnarok. Together the set delivers fast-paced quests, sharp humor, and diverse, memorable heroes, making it an ideal way to introduce a young reader to Riordan's signature blend of ancient myth and modern adventure in one convenient bundle.
About the Books
This collection bundles Rick Riordan's two mythology-driven series into a single set for readers who love action, humor, and larger-than-life gods. In The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, and The Serpent's Shadow, Carter and Sadie Kane discover they descend from a line of pharaohs and magicians, and must master ancient Egyptian magic to stop the chaos god Apophis before he unravels the world. Riordan weaves in real Egyptian mythology, globe-trotting settings, and sibling banter that keeps the pace brisk and the stakes personal. The companion Magnus Chase trilogy shifts the mythology north: Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer, Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor, and Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead follow a homeless teenager who discovers he is the son of a Norse god and wakes up in Valhalla after his death. Alongside a found-family crew of unlikely heroes, Magnus must retrieve a legendary sword, prevent Ragnarok, and navigate the Nine Worlds with equal parts bravery and wisecracking humor. Both trilogies share Riordan's trademark strengths: meticulously researched mythology reimagined for a contemporary setting, quick chapters that suit reluctant readers, and protagonists whose flaws and courage make them easy to root for. Reading them together highlights how Riordan builds distinct voices and worlds while keeping his fast, funny, myth-savvy storytelling consistent across pantheons. It's an excellent set for readers who've finished Percy Jackson and want more of Riordan's addictive mythological universe.
