El Trono de Fuego / The Throne of Fire - Paperback

by Rick Riordan (Author)

Quedan s?lo cinco d?as para que una gran serpiente engulla el sol y destruya el mundo. Despu?s, todo se volver? oscuridad...

Si alguien ha pensado que pertenecer a una familia de faraones es cualquier cosa, que hablen conmigo o con mi hermana Sadie. Sin tiempo para reponernos de nuestra aventura en la Pir?mide Roja, Amos y Bast acaban de encomendarnos otra de sus misiones expr?s: despertar a Ra, el primer y m?s poderoso rey de los dioses. Dicho as?, parece f?cil, verdad? El problema es que nadie sabe d?nde est?, porque hace miles de a?os se retir? a los cielos y no se ha vuelto a saber de ?l. Ah!, se me olvidaba, tenemos que darnos prisa porque Ra es el ?nico que puede enfrentarse a Apofis -tambi?n conocida como "serpiente del caos"-, que est? a punto de salir de la c?rcel, y entonces... entonces ser? demasiado tarde.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in trouble. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven't given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians.

And now their most threatening enemy yet - the chaos snake Apophis - is rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' time, the world will come to an end. In other words, it's a typical week for the Kane family.

To have any chance of battling the Forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god Ra. But that would be a feat more powerful than any magician has ever accomplished. First they have to search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells. Oh, and did we mention that no one knows where Ra is exactly?
