Since their mother's death, brother and sister, 14 year-old Carter Kane and 12 year-old Sadie Kane have lived apart. Carter has traveled the world with their father, famous Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane, while Sadie has lived with their grandparents in London. Then one night, Dr. Kane takes both his children on a private, after hours tour of the world famous Egyptian collection at the British Museum. The night ends in chaos: the priceless artifact known as the Rosetta Stone is destroyed, their father disappears, and Carter and Sadie are kidnapped. Worse, five of the Egyptian gods have been released: Set, the jackal-headed god of war, chaos, and storms, and the sworn enemy of the Kane children. Who are the Kane children? Well, like Percy Jackson, they are about to find out their own magical heritage.
If you've read the Lightning Thief series, you will want to read Rick Riordan's other mythology-based series, The Kane Chronicles, as well as the Magnus Chase series, based on Norse mythology.
Both series, as well as the Percy Jackson books are available on Hoopla.
