The Serpent's Shadow
When young magicians Carter and Sadie Kane learned how to follow the path of the Ancient Egyptian gods, they knew they would play an important role in restoring order to the world. What they didn't know is just how chaotic their world would become. The Chaos snake Apophis is loose and threatening Earth imminent destruction. The magicians are divided. The gods are disappearing, and those who remain are weak. What are a couple of teenagers and a handful of young trainees to do?
In the thrilling conclusion to ‘The Kane Chronicles’, Carter and Sadie know that there is only one way to stop Apophis, but it is so difficult that it could cost the siblings their lives. It involves trusting the ghost of a psychopathic magician not to betray them, or worse, kill them. They'd have to be crazy to try it. Well, call them crazy...

Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has travelled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives.
Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them - Set - has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe. This quest will bring 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.
