After their mother’s death, Carter Kane travels the world with their Egyptologist father, while Sadie lives in London with her grandparents.

Instead, he unwittingly releases the Egyptian god Set, who throws him into oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. The brothers and sister soon discover that the gods of Egypt are awakening, and Set has set his sights on the Kane family. To stop him, they embark on a dangerous journey across the globe that brings them closer to the truth about their family’s past and reveals their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.
