The Kane Chronicles: The Serpent's Shadow is the final thrilling instalment in award-winning author and Percy Jackson creator Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles trilogy. Is their inherited magic enough to battle against the most powerful mythical forces that Egypt's gods have to throw at them? CARTER AND SADIE KANE, descendants of the magical House of Life, are in pretty big trouble. Despite their bravest efforts, Apophis, the giant snake of Chaos, is still threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Now the Kanes must do something no magician has ever managed - defeat Apophis himself. No pressure there then. Battling against the forces of Chaos, their only hope is an ancient spell - but the magic has been lost for a millennia. Will they find the serpent's shadow, or will they be led to their deaths in the depths of the Underworld?

About the Author:

Rick Riordan is the god of mythology-meets-modern-day adventure, best known for creating the wildly popular Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. With a pen as mighty as a celestial bronze sword, Rick introduced us to a whole new world where Greek gods have kids, monsters lurk in high schools, and quests are basically a teenager’s after-school activity.

A former middle school teacher with a passion for storytelling, Rick turned his son’s love of myths into a full-blown universe of heroes, humor, and heart. From Camp Half-Blood to the Egyptian magicians of The Kane Chronicles and the Norse antics in Magnus Chase, his books blend epic action with clever comedy and relatable characters.

He’s not just writing adventure stories—he’s building worlds where every reader can feel like a hero (or at least a sarcastic sidekick with a cool sword).

If you’re into fast-paced quests, hilarious one-liners, and a whole lot of mythological mayhem, Rick Riordan is the author who’ll keep you turning the pages faster than Hermes on a sugar rush.
