The Throne of Fire, Rick Riordan

Carter and Sadie Kane are back, powerful as ever and currently training other descendents of the House of Life. After giving up the power of the gods, Carter and Sadie’s lives went back to about as normal as a magicians life could be. But they’ve just found out that Apophis is going to swallow the sun in exactly 5 days on the spring equinox. In exactly 5 days, Ra’s enemy will rise from his prison, swallow the Sun and all life on Earth will cease to exist. Unless Sadie and Carter stop the Lord of Chaos they will all die. So keep the plan simple: awake Ra.

Ra went into ‘retirement’ and took great trouble to sleep peacefully. Carter and Sadie must find the 5 parts of the book of Ra and then travel into the Duat and face Apophis. Bast decides to go back to her old enemy’s prison to find out how long the duo have leaving them another mentor, Bes, the god of dwarves. Not exactly a Bast, but he’ll have to do…

A great sequel to the Red Pyramid. Action packed with even more incredible characters. Rick Riordan certainly knows the perfect recipe for a mythological book.
