Synopsis
Ever since every 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&mdash;the chaos snake Apophis&mdash;is rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' time, the world will come to an end. The story begins with Carter and Sadie breaking in to the Brooklyn Museum during a wedding to search for the Book of Ra, which will allow them to speak with Ra and hopefully gain his support. Along with them are Khufu the baboon, and their new trainees, Jaz and Walt. Instead, they find a papyrus scroll that is booby trapped with a series of fire traps. As Carter and Walt distract the demons that are apart of the booby trap, Sadie helps Jaz perform a spell that banishes the demons back to the duat. After this, Carter uses the Gryffin to escape from the museum before the police arrives. When they arrive back in the mansion, Carter explains to the new trainees that they must try to find Ra, the sun god, before Apophis wakes in four days and swallows the sun as well as all of existence!
