Quedan sólo cinco días para que una gran serpiente engulla el sol y destruya el mundo. Después, todo se volverá oscuridad...

Si alguien ha pensado que pertenecer a una familia de faraones es cualquier cosa, que hablen conmigo o con mi hermana Sadie. Sin tiempo para reponernos de nuestra aventura en la Pirámide Roja, Amos y Bast acaban de encomendarnos otra de sus misiones exprés: despertar a Ra, el primer y más poderoso rey de los dioses. Dicho así, parece fácil, ¿verdad? El problema es que nadie sabe dónde está, porque hace miles de años se retiró a los cielos y no se ha vuelto a saber de él. ¡Ah!, se me olvidaba, tenemos que darnos prisa porque Ra es el único que puede enfrentarse a Apofis -también conocida como "serpiente del caos"-, que está a punto de salir de la cárcel, y entonces... entonces será demasiado tarde.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in trouble. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven’t given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians.
 
And now their most threatening enemy yet – the chaos snake Apophis – is rising. If they don’t prevent him from breaking free in a few days’ time, the world will come to an end. In other words, it’s a typical week for the Kane family.
 
To have any chance of battling the Forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god Ra. But that would be a feat more powerful than any magician has ever accomplished. First they have to search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells. Oh, and did we mention that no one knows where Ra is exactly?
Rick Riordan (San Antonio, Estados Unidos, 1964) es, sin duda, uno de los autores de literatura juvenil más respetados. Profesor de instituto, el fulgurante éxito de la serie «Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo» hizo que pudiera dedicarse a la escritura a tiempo completo.
