The Throne of Fire: the second book in the Kane Chronicles series by Rick Riordan. EVER SINCE the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter and Sadie Kane are in big trouble. Being descendants of the magical House of Life, they possess certain powers. But now, a terrifying enemy - Apophis, the giant snake of chaos - is rising. If the Kanes do not destroy him, the world will end in five days. To face the forces of chaos, they must resurrect the sun god Ra - a feat no magician has ever accomplished. They must first search the four corners of the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra and then learn how to cast the spells... Can the Kanes destroy Apophis before he swallows the sun and plunges the Earth into darkness... forever?
