The Throne of Fire[]
Carter and Sadie Kane are taken to the nome by Bes to obtain the second Book of Ra. There they find a desk in the same room as Menshikov, who is summoning Set and trapping him in a large green vase. Sadie and Carter steal the scroll and are about to leave when Set informs Menshikov of their presence. Menshikov unleashes a four-legged, two-headed, poisonous snake called a Tjesu heru that mortally wounds Carter before Sadie blasts it to dust. Sadie and Carter are no match for Menshikov's magic. so, the Kanes release Set from the vase. Set buries Menshikov in red sand and drops a pot on his head, buying Carter and Sadie time to run out of that nome.
