Since his mother’s death six years ago, Carter Kane has been living out of the suitcase, traveling the globe along with his father, the brilliant Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane. But while Carter’s been homeschooled, his young sister, Sadie, has been coping with their grandparents in London. Sadie has just what Carter desires – school friends and an opportunity at a “normal” existence. But Carter provides precisely what Sadie dreams about – time using their father. After six years of living aside, the siblings have next to nothing about The Red Pyramid in keeping. Until now. On Xmas Eve, Sadie and Carter are reunited when their father brings these to the English Museum, with a promise that he’ll “make things best.” But all does not go according to program: Carter and Sadie view as Julius summons a mystical figure, who quickly banishes their dad and causes a fiery explosion. Shortly Carter and Sadie find that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking, as well as the worst of these – Arranged – has a terrifying scheme. To save their father, they need to embark on a harmful trip – a quest that provides them ever closer to the reality about their family members and its links to the home of Lifestyle, a secret purchase that has been around since the period of the pharaohs.
