內容簡介: |
Ever since their mother’s death, siblings Carter and Sadie
have been near strangers. While Sadie’s lived with her grandparents
in London, Carter has traveled the world with their father, the
brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane.
Then one night, they are reunited when their father takes them to
the British Museum, hoping at last to set things right. Instead, he
unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and
forces the children to flee for their lives.
Soon, Carter and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt
are waking, and the worst of them—Set—is after the Kanes. To stop
him, the siblings must embark on a dangerous journey across the
globe—a quest leading them ever closer to the truth about their
family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since
the time of the pharaohs.
