The Red Pyramid is the first book in The Kane Chronicles trilogy by Rick Riordan, blending modern adventure with ancient Egyptian mythology in a thrilling, fast-paced story for middle-grade and young adult readers. The story follows siblings Carter and Sadie Kane, who have been raised apart since their mother’s mysterious death. When their father, the Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane, attempts a dangerous ritual at the British Museum, he unleashes powerful Egyptian gods—including Set, the god of chaos—who banishes him and sets off a chain of catastrophic events. Soon, Carter and Sadie discover they are descendants of powerful magicians and are thrust into a hidden world of ancient magic, gods, and monsters. To save their father and stop Set from destroying the world, the siblings must learn to work together, embrace their magical heritage, and confront forces far beyond their understanding. With Riordan’s trademark humor, heart, and mythological twists, The Red Pyramid kicks off an epic series full of action, magic, and family bonds. Some wear to the cover.
