Carter and Sadie Kane's dad is a brilliant Egyptologist with a secret plan that goes horribly wrong. An explosion at the British Museum shatters the ancient Rosetta Stone and unleashes Set, the evil god of chaos. Set has imprisoned Dr Kane in a golden coffin, and Carter and Sadie are forced to run for their lives. To save their father, the siblings must embark on a terrifying quest from Cairo and Paris to the American South-west and discover the truth about their family's connection to the House of Life: an Egyptian temple of magic that has existed for thousands of years.

The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt are far from dead and buried. And so, unfortunately, are their Gods...
