The Red Pyramid

The Kane Chronicles

Content Ratings

No Romance

There is no romantic content; Carter and Sadie's relationships are entirely focused on sibling dynamics and friendships with god-hosts.

Light Themes

Themes include sibling reconciliation, processing the loss of a parent, and discovering one's cultural and ancestral heritage; challenges are ultimately resolved with warmth.

Mild Violence

Monster battles and confrontations with Set and his forces involve exciting and fantastical danger; violence is action-adventure appropriate.

Synopsis

Siblings Carter and Sadie Kane discover they are descendants of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs and must stop the chaos god Set from unleashing destruction on the world, while coming to terms with the Egyptian gods who have inhabited their bodies. A fast-paced adventure series opener that brings Egyptian mythology to the same accessible, witty treatment as the Percy Jackson series.
