Overview
The Kane Chronicles Collection brings together Rick Riordan's Egyptian mythology trilogy in one paperback set, perfect for middle-grade readers hooked on gods, magic, and family secrets. Following siblings Carter and Sadie Kane, the set traces their journey from ordinary teens into powerful magicians racing to stop ancient chaos from consuming the modern world. Riordan blends humor, heart, and nonstop action, turning museum lore into a living adventure. Fans of Percy Jackson will recognize a similar mix of wit and wonder, now set against pyramids, hieroglyphs, and the House of Life. A great gift for readers craving their next mythic obsession.
About the Books
This collection follows Carter and Sadie Kane, siblings raised an ocean apart, who learn their family carries the blood of the pharaohs and a duty to the House of Life. When their father triggers a magical accident at the British Museum, ancient Egyptian gods are unleashed, revealing a hidden world of hieroglyphic magic alongside modern city life. Across the three books, Carter and Sadie train as magicians, hunt scattered pieces of powerful artifacts, and face rising threats from the chaos god Apophis. Riordan grounds the fantasy in real Egyptian mythology, featuring gods like Horus, Isis, Anubis, and Ra, while keeping the tone light with sibling banter. Each book raises the stakes, from a rescue mission to reawakening the sun god to a final stand for the balance of Ma'at, making it a natural next read for Percy Jackson fans.
