'''''The Kane Chronicles''''' is a trilogy of fictional adventure and fantasy books written by [[Rick Riordan]]. Set in the United States, in the same fictional universe as ''[[Percy Jackson and the Olympians]]'' and ''[[The Heroes of Olympus]]'', the books are predominantly based on [[Ancient Egyptian religion|Egyptian mythology]]. The series will consist of three books. The first book was released on May 5, 2010. The second book followed on May 3, 2011. The third book is tentatively scheduled for release in May 2012.
'''''The Kane Chronicles''''' is a [[trilogy]] of [[adventure novel]]s based on [[Egyptian mythology]] written by American author [[Rick Riordan]]. The series is set in the same universe as Riordan's other franchises, ''[[Camp Half-Blood Chronicles]]'' and ''[[Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard]]''.


The novels are narrated alternately in [[First-person narrative|first-person]] by the two protagonists, siblings [[Carter Kane|Carter]] and [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Sadie Kane|Sadie Kane]]. The siblings are powerful [[Magic (paranormal)|magicians]] descended from the two [[pharaoh]]s [[Narmer]] and [[Ramses the Great]]. They and their friends are forced to contend with [[List of Egyptian deities|Egyptian gods and goddesses]] who still interact with the modern world.
The protagonists are Carter and Sadie Kane who discover that they are descendants of two [[Pharaoh]]s, [[Narmer]] and [[Ramses II|Ramses the Great]]. They learn that the legendary beings of [[Ancient Egyptian religion|Egyptian mythology]] still exist and have always existed, including [[Ushabti|shabti]], Egyptian magicians, the House of Life, otherwise known as the ''Per Ankh'', and the [[Egyptian pantheon|Egyptian gods and goddesses]]. Rick Riordan explained where the idea came from in an interview:<blockquote>
“In my classroom, there was only one thing that was more popular than Ancient Greece, and that was Ancient Egypt,” said Riordan, who taught middle-school Social Studies and English for 15 years. “This was a matter of listening to a lot of fans, and a lot of young readers.”<ref name="Interview and Publishers weekly">{{cite web|url= http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/417640-Riordan_Sets_His_Sights_on_Egypt.php|title=Riordan Sets His Sights on Egypt|last=Springen|first=Karen|date=November 11, 2009|publisher=www.publishersweekly.com|accessdate=20 February 2010}}</ref>

==Novels==
==Origins==
Author [[Rick Riordan]], a former [[Middle school|middle-school]] [[social studies]] teacher, stated that the idea for ''The Kane Chronicles'' came from his realization that the only ancient history subject more popular than [[Ancient Greece]] was [[Ancient Egypt]].<ref name="Interview and Publishers weekly">{{cite web|url= http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/417640-Riordan_Sets_His_Sights_on_Egypt.php|title=Riordan Sets His Sights on Egypt|last=Springen|first=Karen|date=November 11, 2009|publisher=[[Publishers Weekly]] Website|access-date=20 February 2010}}</ref> Riordan had already written and published several books in the ''[[Percy Jackson & the Olympians]]'' series, which dealt with the interaction between [[Greek mythology]] and the modern world. The idea of having two [[multiracial]] siblings narrate the books also came from his experience as a teacher. Carter and Sadie Kane, the titular characters, were inspired by two siblings that he taught, as well as multicultural society.<ref name="WSJ">{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704608104575220852938331066|title=Rick Riordan's Gods and Monsters|publisher=[[The Wall Street Journal]] Website|first=Christopher John|last=Farley|date=May 4, 2010|access-date=October 10, 2016}}</ref>

While Carter hosts the god Horus, [which makes him supposedly destined to rule the gods], Sadie hosts the goddess, Isis. Soon, they go on a daring journey with their chaperone and friend, Bast.

Eventually, Carter and Sadie meet Set and fight him together with the powers of Horus and Isis. Carter and Horus fight using a super-powerful combat avatar and Sadie uses the power of Isis, a goddess of magic, to create a portal even though it's during the Demon Days. The portal teleports the pyramid and everything directly around it to Washington, D.C. Set is stopped from destroying the world, but Sadie does not complete the ritual that will completely destroy Set because she realized that Set was not the actual perpetrator of the Chaotic events in the book - the true embodiment of Chaos, the serpent Apophis, was, instead. He intended to use the pyramid's Chaos power to make his way into the mortal world. Sadie and Carter witness Zia die, but it turns out that "Zia" was a [[Ushabti|shabti]], a magic statue, made to protect the actual Zia, who was hosting Isis's sister, Nephthys. The siblings go back to their Brooklyn mansion hauling a sick Amos. They receive an amulet from their father, who has now merged with Osiris. They lock the amulet in a locker of a school which Sadie saw in a dream. This is the item which is stored in the locker that Carter mentioned in the beginning.
Carter is tempted to wear his amulet, which gave him the power of Horus, but he locks his and Sadie's up so they don't wear and consume the power of the gods all over again. The book ends with Carter cautioning anyone who finds the locker with Osiris's amulet in it to be careful and come to Brooklyn for training.

===''The Throne of Fire''===
The story begins with Carter describing his and Sadie's attempt to steal a statue of Khnum, the sunset aspect of Ra at the same time from The Brooklyn Museum so they can learn the secrets of the Book of Ra and save the sun from being swallowed by Apophis in five days. Accompanying Sadie and Carter are Khufu, their baboon friend, and Jaz and Walt, two "trainees" of Carter and Sadie's. However, as they attempt to steal the artefact, Sadie triggers a booby trap and something occurs: spirits, known as <i>Bas<i>, are released and they disrupt the wedding that is going on. Sadie also gets a scroll that gets stuck to her hand and starts burning. They meet a griffin that Carter finds out he can control, because it is a servant of Horus. Jaz uses the power of her patron goddess, Sekhmet, the goddess of plague and destruction, to contain the <i>Bas<i>. She faints, and they fly out of the chaotic museum on the griffin, whom Carter later names Freak [because it keeps saying ''Freeeeeeeeeeaaaaaak'']. On the way to the mansion, the burning first scroll of the Book Of Ra starts ghostly fires in Brooklyn. As they fly over the buildings, the fire falls on buildings, and the newspaper later states that the mysterious fire caused some people to have hallucinations, even making them see a big huge bird. They get to their mansion in Brooklyn, where Jaz is taken to the nursery. Sadie is shown to have some affection for Walt, and is jealous of him and Jaz as they have from eating the Sun and plunging the world into Chaos. In 4 days, the spring equinox will occur, which means that magic will easily be tipped to Chaos or Ma'at. Bast has to leave them to check on Apopis's prison, so they get a new guardian, the dwarf god Bes.

They journey across the world looking for three scrolls to awaken Ra's three aspects and to find Ra's location (as well as the location of a missing magician named [[List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan#Zia Rashid|Zia Rashid]]), and finally into the [[Duat]] to rescue Ra and drive Apophis further from the mortal world.

The Kane Chronicles is a trilogy of adventure novels based on Egyptian mythology written by American author Rick Riordan. The series is set in the same universe as Riordan's other franchises, Camp Half-Blood Chronicles and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard.

The novels are narrated alternately in first-person by the two protagonists, siblings Carter and Sadie Kane. The siblings are powerful magicians descended from the two pharaohs Narmer and Ramses the Great. They and their friends are forced to contend with Egyptian gods and goddesses who still interact with the modern world.

Origins

[edit]

Author Rick Riordan, a former middle-school social studies teacher, stated that the idea for The Kane Chronicles came from his realization that the only ancient history subject more popular than Ancient Greece was Ancient Egypt.[4] Riordan had already written and published several books in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, which dealt with the interaction between Greek mythology and the modern world. The idea of having two multiracial siblings narrate the books also came from his experience as a teacher. Carter and Sadie Kane, the titular characters, were inspired by two siblings that he taught, as well as multicultural society.[5]

Novel series

[edit]

Sections entitled "Author's Notes" at the beginning and end of books in the series explain to readers that the story is a transcript of audiotapes Rick Riordan received from Carter and Sadie Kane.[6][7][8] The story takes place in the same universe as the Camp Half-Blood chronicles and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard and several references are made to the other books. In the three main novels, only two characters - Drew Tanaka and Lacy, who are both children of Aphrodite from Camp Half-Blood - cross over between novel series.[8]

The Red Pyramid

[edit]
Main article: The Red Pyramid

The first book in the series, The Red Pyramid, was released on May 4, 2010. The story is told as a transcription of a recording made by Sadie and Carter Kane, detailing the rise of the Egyptian gods in the modern world.[6]

After a mysterious accident in a museum leaves their egyptologist father missing, siblings Carter and Sadie Kane are taken in by their uncle Amos and introduced to their family's long and proud tradition of magic. The duo discovers that they have been chosen as "hosts" by the gods Horus and Isis, respectively, and are hunted by the House of Life, the world's governing body of Egyptian magicians, because they have forbidden magicians to follow the path of the gods (which Carter and Sadie are currently doing). Carter and Sadie learn that the god Set plans to destroy the North American continent using their father's power, and they embark on a quest to save him and prove their innocence and good intentions to the House. While on their quest, they learn that a greater threat is rising: Apophis.[6][9]

The Throne of Fire

[edit]
Main article: The Throne of Fire

The second book in the series, The Throne of Fire, was released on May 4, 2011. The book takes place roughly three months after the events of the first book, The Red Pyramid.[7]

Carter and Sadie Kane have recruited several students to follow the path of the gods, but are still fugitives from the House of Life. The young magicians secretly plan to find the long-lost king of the gods, Ra, hoping he will help them fight Apophis, a powerful god of chaos (and Ra's eternal enemy) who masterminded Set's scheme earlier that year (in The Red Pyramid). They journey across the world looking for three scrolls to awaken Ra's three aspects and to find Ra's location (as well as the location of a missing magician named Zia Rashid), and finally into the Duat to rescue Ra and drive Apophis further from the mortal world. They fail in doing so.[7]

The Serpent's Shadow

[edit]
Main article: The Serpent's Shadow (Riordan novel)

The third and last volume, The Serpent's Shadow, was released on May 1, 2012.[8]

A few months after the events of the previous book, the House of Life is battling repeated invasions by the forces of chaos, leading the Kanes and their trainees to look desperately for a way to stop Apophis. They finally settle on a difficult method involving part of Apophis's soul (the Serpent's sheut) and go to great lengths to ensure they will be able to use the sheut to defeat Apophis successfully. With the help of all the gods, especially Ra (hosted by Zia Rashid), the Kane siblings are able to finally banish Apophis and save their friends, although their actions have the unintended consequence of driving the gods away from the mortal world (until they can reform and find new hosts in a few hundred years).[8]

Supplementary works

[edit]

Survival Guide

[edit]

The Kane Chronicles: Survival Guide is a companion to the series written by Mary-Jane Knight, who is not credited on the front cover. It features illustrations of characters in the series by Antonio Caparo and full-color diagrams and maps, as well as the guide text.[10] In the words of the publisher, the latter "teaches readers how to compile secret messages, read hieroglyphics, and recite ancient magic spells", and the intended audience includes "avid followers and budding Egyptologists alike".[10] The book was released by Disney-Hyperion on March 20, 2012, a few months before the publication of The Serpent's Shadow.[11] The British edition was published by Puffin Books in October of that year.[12][13]

Guide Book

[edit]

“Brooklyn House Magician's Manual” is the guide book to “The Kane Chronicles” written by Rick Riordan and released on May 1, 2018. It includes more information about the various paths of the gods, magical spells, and characters from the main series as well as Demigods and Magicians. It is narrated by the main characters of the original trilogy, Carter and Sadie Kane. It also involves first-person accounts from some of the other characters and a side plot line continuing from Demigods and Magicians involving the Kanes’ recurring enemy, the evil magician Setne.

Graphic novel

[edit]

A graphic novel based on The Red Pyramid was published on October 12, 2010.[14] It follows a shortened version of Carter and Sadie adventures in The Red Pyramid with full color drawings. It is adapted and illustrated by Orpheus Collar.[14][15]

A graphic novel based on The Throne of Fire was released on October 6, 2015.[16] Like the graphic novel for The Red Pyramid, it was adapted and illustrated by Orpheus Collar.[15]

A graphic novel based on The Serpent's Shadow was released on October 3, 2017.[17] Similarly to the previous two novels, it was adapted and illustrated by Orpheus Collar.[15]

Demigods & Magicians

[edit]

Three stories combining the characters of the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles and The Kane Chronicles with the first two originally appearing as short stories in the paperback versions of The Serpent's Shadow and The Mark of Athena. Eventually, the stories were combined into a miniseries known as Demigods & Magicians.

The Son of Sobek

[edit]
Main article: The Son of Sobek

The first ever Percy Jackson-Carter Kane crossover story was included in the back of the paperback edition of The Serpent's Shadow, published May 7, 2013, and became available as an e-single/audio purchase June 18, 2013.[8][18] It was later published as part of a collection entitled Demigods & Magicians, released in 2016.[19]

The story is told in first-person by Carter Kane and set on Long Island's south shore, in the vicinity of Moriches Bay. Carter and Percy Jackson find themselves hunting the same giant magical crocodile, and Carter is saved by Percy. Although wary of each other, they team up to fight the crocodile, which turns out to be a petsuchos, an ordinary crocodile turned to giant size and invested with the power of the Egyptian crocodile god Sobek by a magical charm. Together, they remove the charm and stop the crocodile from terrorizing the suburban neighborhood, then, after briefly introducing themselves, go their separate ways. However, Carter does leave Percy a special way of contacting him.[19]

The Staff of Serapis

[edit]
Main article: The Staff of Serapis

The sequel to The Son of Sobek, entitled The Staff of Serapis is the sixty-page crossover story in which Sadie and Annabeth meet. The sequel came out in April 2014, in the paperback version of The Mark of Athena, and then was released later on in the year in e-book/audiobook format read by Riordan and including a sneak preview of The Blood of Olympus.[20][21] It was later published as part of a collection entitled Demigods & Magicians, released in 2016.[19]

In this story, told from Annabeth Chase's point of view, Annabeth pursues a strange chimerical creature she encounters on the New York City Subway, and is rescued by Sadie Kane when it attacks. Sadie explains that the creature was a figurine that suddenly came to life in Brooklyn House and escaped the mansion. The two girls deduce that the creature is two parts of a tripartite creature, the Staff of Serapis, which belongs to the Hellenized Egyptian god of that name. Serapis has taken up residence in a ruined lighthouse in Far Rockaway, Queens, and Annabeth and Sadie do battle with him before returning to their separate worlds.[19]

The Crown of Ptolemy

[edit]
Main article: The Crown of Ptolemy

The Crown of Ptolemy is the third and last book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Kane Chronicles crossover series. It was published in the back of the paperback version of The House of Hades on March 31, 2015, and later as an ebook and audiobook.[22] The ebook edition was released May 12, 2015.[23] It was later republished as part of a collection entitled Demigods & Magicians, released in 2016.[19]

The story is told from Percy's point of view. Percy and Annabeth are investigating Governor's Island in Manhattan, and Percy tries unsuccessfully to call Carter. Setne, the evil magician responsible for the events of the crossovers, creates a freak hurricane while attempting to make himself a god. Carter and Sadie finally arrive and, with help from the goddess Nekhbet (who uses Percy as her host for the duration of the battle), the four teenagers defeat and imprison Setne in a magical snow globe. The teens then decide to keep their mythical realities separate and head back to their respective homes, although they also decide to keep in touch.
