<span>Since his mother's 
death six years ago, Carter Kane has been living out of a suitcase, 
traveling the globe with his father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. 
Julius Kane. But while Carter's been homeschooled, his younger sister, 
Sadie, has been living with their grandparents in London. Sadie has just
 what Carter wants—school friends and a chance at a "normal" life. But 
Carter has just what Sadie longs for—time with their father. After six 
years of living apart, the siblings have almost nothing in common. Until
 now.<br><br>On Christmas Eve, Sadie and Carter are reunited when their 
father brings them to the British Museum, with a promise that he's going
 to "make things right." But all does not go according to plan: Carter 
and Sadie watch as Julius summons a mysterious figure, who quickly 
banishes their father and causes a fiery explosion.<br><br>Soon Carter 
and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking, and the 
worst of them—Set—has a frightening scheme. To save their father, they 
must embark on a dangerous journey—a quest that brings them ever closer 
to the truth about their family and its links to the House of Life, a 
secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.</span>
