Overview
Step into the sun-scorched world of ancient Egypt with this five-book collection from Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series. This set gathers the Kane Chronicles trilogy—The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, and The Serpent's Shadow—plus two illustrated companion guides, Survival Guide and Brooklyn House Magician's Manual. Follow siblings Carter and Sadie Kane as they awaken ancient gods and race to save the world from chaos. Blending humor, family drama, and mythology, this collection makes a fantastic gift for birthdays, holidays, or summer reading, and a solid addition to any young reader's shelf.
About the Books
This collection traces one continuous adventure across three novels and two in-world reference guides. In The Red Pyramid, siblings Carter and Sadie Kane discover their family's ancient connection to Egyptian magic after their father's experiment awakens the god Set and sets off a chain of catastrophic events. The Throne of Fire raises the stakes as the Kanes race against a five-day deadline to wake the sun god Ra before Egypt's oldest enemies plunge the world into darkness. The Serpent's Shadow closes the trilogy as the siblings confront the chaos serpent Apophis in a battle that could unmake reality itself. Rounding out the set, Survival Guide is an illustrated in-universe handbook packed with maps, diagrams, and a build-it-yourself trading card pyramid exploring the gods, creatures, and locations of the series. Brooklyn House Magician's Manual serves as a training guide for aspiring magicians, filled with quizzes, hieroglyphic lessons, and profiles of the Egyptian pantheon. Together, the five books combine fast-paced storytelling with hands-on world-building, giving readers both a gripping saga and the reference materials to dig deeper into its mythology. It's an engaging way for young mythology fans to experience the full scope of the Kane siblings' story from beginning to end, and the companion guides make excellent standalone reference reads even for fans who already know the novels well.
