So begins The Kane Chronicles, an Urban Fantasy series by Rick Riordan that follows in the vein of his Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus books. The three books in the series, The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire and The Serpent's Shadow all take the larger Egyptian Mythology and transplants it to a western setting. Other books in the series include the companion book The Kane Chronicles Survival Guide and the short story The Son of Sobek, which is a crossover with the original Percy Jackson. Another short story, The Staff of Serapis, was released in May 2014. The third and final story in the crossover, The Crown of Ptolemy, was released with the House of Hades paperback in March 2015 and as a standalone e-book in May 2015. During his The Sword Of Summer book tour in 2015 Rick Riordan declared the completion of the short stories as their own book Demigods & Magicians.This time, the story centers on siblings Carter and Sadie Kane who discover that they're descendants of ancient Egyptian magicians. This leads them to learning to master their powers while taking up the primary duty of a magician: fighting and banishing the gods once worshiped throughout Ancient Egypt. Some snags in the process include their only possible allies being out to kill them, ancient Egyptian monsters and figuring out how to defeat the god of evil himself.The books are told from both heroes' perspectives, instead of just one like its big sister series. The books are also revealed to take place in the same universe as Percy Jackson's tale does, with small shout outs to the first series here and there. The tone of the books also shift slightly more towards Darker and Edgier as they go on, but it isn't much of a slide from the first or second books.Graphic novel adaptations of all three books have been released in 2012, 2015 and 2017. Two supplementary books have also been released, The Kane Chronicles: Survival Guide on March 20, 2012 and Brooklyn House Magician's Manual on May 1, 2018. In September of 2020, Riordan revealed- on TikTok, of all things- that the series would be adapted into a series of Netflix original movies.No relation to Karl Edward Wagner 's mystic Gothic Kane Series.

When not rocking his biker/goth/black jacket outfit, Anubis wears an Egyptian attire that doesn't feature such luxury as a shirt as well. As the narrator who looks at this particular moment is Sadie, and Anubis is...Anubis, she enjoys the view really well.

Ancient Grome
 The Kane Chronicles / int_21ac3809
comment
Ancient Grome: Some of the gods' names used are actually the Greek translations, including five of the main gods (Horus, Isis, Osiris, and Nephthys), Anubis, Thoth, Apophis, etc. However, others do use the (approximated) Egyptian spellings, including Set, Bast, Bes, and Khonsu. It may be justified as most people are more familiar with the Greek versions, since anyone would hardly connect with "Anupev" or "Ausir" for example, not to mention the Egyptian spellings being hazy and mere educated guesses, in contrast to the already-certain Greek translation. Fridge Brilliance: Egypt was ruled by the Ptolemaic dynasty, after all. Maybe the Egyptians adopted the Greek names and got stuck with them years after their rule came to an end. Possibly. This is also somewhat of a Justified Trope - in the first book, Carter and Sadie run into Thoth, who mentions his Egyptian pronunciation ("Je-hoot-ee") but also points out that translating his Egyptian name into English or Greek characters is very hard if not flat out impossible to do.

Chekhov's Gun
 The Kane Chronicles / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Sequel Hook: At the end of the trilogy, it's implied that the next thing the Kanes will be doing is investigating some "unexplained magic" on Long Island. Who do we know that practices magic on Long Island? Carter investigates this occurrence in the short story The Son of Sobek, and bumps into Percy Jackson, who is doing the same thing. Naturally, they mistake each other for a rogue magician and an evil demigod and duke it out, but eventually call a truce to face the titular giant crocodile. The story ends with Carter giving Percy a means of contacting him if he ever needs help.

Cheerful Funeral: Sadie and Anubis at one point witness a funeral in New Orleans. At the time they arrive, the actual burial has already taken place, and the funeral has moved on to the stage where the mourners celebrate the life of the deceased with song, dance and revelry as they head away from the cemetery. This is a practice Anubis himself approves of, calling it "very Egyptian".

Divine Parentage
 The Kane Chronicles / int_27fdd6a1
comment
Divine Parentage: Carter and Sadie, obviously. The Blood of the Pharaohs. Kind of. The gods prefer to take host from certain bloodlines with powerful magic that usually contain at least one pharaoh at some point in time or another. But it's unclear if the gods preferred them because they were pharaohs or if they ended up becoming pharaohs specifically because they could host the gods. A bit of both The greatest pharaohs were those capable of hosting the gods; so the gods preferred their descendants because they were strong enough to be hosts.

 The Kane Chronicles / int_28e90e30

More than Mind Control: Setne uses this in The Crown of Ptolemy as a way to create openings in the heroes' mental defenses. He gets Carter with his desire to honor his father, Sadie with the offer of rule-breaking and Annabeth with the temptation to gather all the world's knowledge. He strikes out with Percy, though, because Setne doesn't understand what he wants. Setne offers immortal godhood but Percy isn't swayed, having already rejected it in The Last Olympian.

Bland-Name Product: In the graphic novel of The Red Pyramid, Khufu eats "HappyOs," which was probably done because they actually show the box, whereas the original book merely mentions "Cheerios." The box, though, looks almost exactly like a regular box of Cheerios, right down to the stylized "G" that is the General Mills logo.

Sadly Mythtaken: In all fairness, most of the liberties taken with the myths were probably to make the whole thing less...incestuous, but there is one mistake: Ammit the Devourer should be female. This is actually lampshaded in The Serpent's Shadow. One done by necessity given the target audience. The in-story explanation for the brief lives of Pharaohs is that hosting gods for long periods of time caused them to "burn out" and die young. In reality, it was because of the many health problems brought on by generations of Brother–Sister Incest to keep the royal bloodline "pure."

The actual mechanics of the recoveries are pretty clearly alluded too in the story (trek into the depths of the Duat where they had been banished by their death and help them haul themselves out), but we never get to see the entire Egyptian pantheon march in power into the depths of the underworld to retrieve them.

Nay-Theist: Per Ankh (and apparently the Egyptians, later on in their history) don't so much worship the gods as keep them under control. In fact, when five gods are released from the Rosetta Stone (not even entirely evil gods) Per Ankh's first thought is to eliminate anyone who would make a suitable host for them.

Body and Host: When a magician is being possessed by a god they are known as "hosts" or "godlings". Can have shades of body snatching, as the god is sometimes able to forcibly take control of their host's body.

Shirtless Scene: Carter gets one in The Red Pyramid, when he has to join the "Skins" team in basketball. Against monkeys. He gets it again in The Throne of Fire, when the apparel that he's given to enter Duat conspicuously lacks a shirt. When not rocking his biker/goth/black jacket outfit, Anubis wears an Egyptian attire that doesn't feature such luxury as a shirt as well. As the narrator who looks at this particular moment is Sadie, and Anubis is...Anubis, she enjoys the view really well.

Dawn of an Era: The kingship of the House of Life ended when the last pharaoh, Cleopatra VII, committed suicide; Iskandar even goes further by stating that the kingship already ended when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, since he was followed by the Ptolemaic dynasty, who came from a foreign land, i.e. Greece. However, at the end of the series, Carter is able to claim the throne because of his deeds, not to mention being a descendant of the pharaohs and having hosted a god. The kingship is thus resumed again.

All Myths Are True
 The Kane Chronicles / int_776a06eb
comment
Although gods are manifestly real, All Myths Are True, and Moses was apparently a badass enough wizard that he's the only outsider ever to best the House of Life. So it's still arguable, especially since we learn "other magic" is simply how the House of Life refers to the power of foreign gods. It's also worth noting that according to Amos in book 1, calling upon and channeling a god was how magic was originally preformed.

Red Oni, Blue Oni/Sibling Yin-Yang: It can actually go either way. Normally, Sadie, being more brash in contrast to reserved and bookish Carter, clearly seems to be the red. However, Carter shows more of the impulsiveness seen in the "red" when in combat partially due to being the host of the warrior god Horus.

Badass Boast: "I am a magician of the house of life. We are TRAINED to fight gods." Carter pulls off a pretty good one too in the first book: "I am Carter Kane! Blood of the Pharaohs, Eye of Horus! And now, Set - brother, uncle, traitor,- I am going to crush you like a gnat." One of the few lines Khepri, Ra's morning aspect, gets, using Zia's mouth, is a strong contender for the most awesome line in the series: "I am Khepri, the rising sun. I will not be denied."

Wizards Live Longer: Living up to three centuries is common among magicians. During Iskandar's time, there were( now lost) spells that could lengthen a magician's lifespan even longer. Iskander himself states his age to be nearly two-thousand.

Spell My Name with an S
 The Kane Chronicles / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name with an S: Justified, since Ancient Egypts wrote without vowels. Is the Sun God called Ra or Re? (Ra in the original, Re in the German translation, both versions are common.) The series actually uses the Ancient Greek forms of the names of the gods, probably because they are more familiar and consistent since the Ancient Greeks wrote with vowels, while the Ancient Egyptians didn't, which means that we can only guess what their readings might be like. Osiris would be called "Ausir", Isis "Iset", Apophis "Apep", and Horus something along the lines of "Haru".

This is also somewhat of a Justified Trope - in the first book, Carter and Sadie run into Thoth, who mentions his Egyptian pronunciation ("Je-hoot-ee") but also points out that translating his Egyptian name into English or Greek characters is very hard if not flat out impossible to do.

One done by necessity given the target audience. The in-story explanation for the brief lives of Pharaohs is that hosting gods for long periods of time caused them to "burn out" and die young. In reality, it was because of the many health problems brought on by generations of Brother–Sister Incest to keep the royal bloodline "pure."

Big Applesauce: Amos' mansion is in Brooklyn. "Manhattan has other problems." Chekhov's Sequel Hook: At the end of the trilogy, it's implied that the next thing the Kanes will be doing is investigating some "unexplained magic" on Long Island. Who do we know that practices magic on Long Island? Carter investigates this occurrence in the short story The Son of Sobek, and bumps into Percy Jackson, who is doing the same thing. Naturally, they mistake each other for a rogue magician and an evil demigod and duke it out, but eventually call a truce to face the titular giant crocodile. The story ends with Carter giving Percy a means of contacting him if he ever needs help.

Shout-Out
 The Kane Chronicles / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: To Percy Jackson, of course. "Manhattan has other problems. Other gods. It's best we stay separate." There's also the incident where they meet Thoth, who complains about how he used to get confused with Hermes. Carter also sees a winged horse that he thought was an illusion because of the magic security system. During a fight with some water demons in the Nile, Carter wishes to himself that he had the powers of a sea god. Given that Sadie was raised in England, there's naturally a few to Doctor Who. She mentions jelly babies at one point, the Fourth Doctor's trademark favorite food, and Carter mentions that one of her shabti was clearly modeled after a Dalek, being a thermos with googly eyes that yelled, "EXTERMINATE!" And the other other work that involves cows with lasers is Gunnerkrigg Court. Anubis wears Arcade Fire and The Dead Weather t-shirts. Sadie listens to the music of Adele. Carter gets to wear Pokémon pajamas.

Healing Serpent: Apophis, who's portrayed as a giant snake, surprisingly is this, though in a Deal with the Devil sort of way, by offering to cure Walt Stone of his curse. Vladimir Menshikov, who has been secretly been a follower of Apophis, offers the Lanes the secret to curing Walt Stone of his curse if they kill Michel Desjardins and join Apophis. Apophis healed Vladimir Menshikov's damaged throat, implied to be a side affect of becoming Apophis's host. After doing a Fusion Dance, Apophis and Vladimir Menshikov offer again to cure Walt Stone of his curse if the Kanes give him/them the scarab that's Khepri.

Creator Provincialism: Very much averted, unlike its sister series. The series opens in London, where Carter meets with Sadie for the first time after years. While the first book mostly sticks in the US, the second book goes to Saint Petersburg, and later the characters arrive in Alexandria, Egypt so Sadie can cure Carter from the snake's poison. In fact, the third book, while opening a bit in Dallas, takes place almost entirely in Egypt, where the magicians have their final battle against Apophis.

In The Serpent's Shadow the First Nome is shown to have a map of the world showing clay figurines being destroyed as loyal magicians are lost. It's not clear if it's the map itself that's magic or the figures, but it could well be both.

Words Can Break My Bones: Every Ancient Egyptian words and hieroglyphs have effects if you have the necessary power to realize them. Even uttering simple commands such as "open" or "break" can do the desired effect, and drawing the ankh hieroglyph, if you are a powerful enough magician like Sadie, you can undo a destroying spell and restore an entire building from nothing.

Tangled Family Tree: The Egyptian pantheon has one. The main characters are squicked by the perceived incest, but it's explained that the gods take on the family relationships of their various incarnations. For example, Isis is Horus' sister in one life and mother in another to reflect the hosts they inhabited, and Osiris is Isis' father rather than her husband in their current incarnation.

Historical Villain Upgrade: The real Setne was a highly respected religious/political figure in Ancient Egypt, with several myths written about him in which he is the hero. In Universe it's more a case of Fallen Hero, since he's gone insane after centuries of Victory Is Boring. There's also some Deliberate Values Dissonance as well, since many of his heroic stories could still be seen as sowing chaos and, thus, undermining the Gods of Egypt.

Our Gods Are Different
 The Kane Chronicles / int_e1ecdac3
comment
Our Gods Are Different: Egyptian gods in this series act very differently from the Greek ones in Riordan's other series, although they share the same basic world. They are largely spiritual, needing a host (usually human, of royal blood) to interact with the world. This is the explanation for the Eternal Recurrence they face, since they have played out the same rivalries forever in different bodies. It also blunts the incest, since they take on the relationships of their hosts. They could be siblings in one generation and lovers in another.

Expy: The series is very similar to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, another series by the same author. One who has read both can easily tell that the characters are alike (apart from the same universe and the same writing style). You have a smart, but shy Carter as Annabeth. A Book Dumb (but not stupid) and sarcastic Sadie as Percy (except she is more outgoing). Anubis also is the god of the afterlife as Nico is the son of the god of death and both lived...for a very long time. When Percy meets Sadie in The Crown of Ptolemy he muses that if he and Annabeth had a daughter she'd be just like Sadie, with Annabeth's looks when she was younger and his own impulsiveness.

Unexplained Recovery: Bast, in the end. Also.... The actual mechanics of the recoveries are pretty clearly alluded too in the story (trek into the depths of the Duat where they had been banished by their death and help them haul themselves out), but we never get to see the entire Egyptian pantheon march in power into the depths of the underworld to retrieve them. In the graphic novel adaptation of the final story, The Serpent's Shadow when Carter Kane faces off against face of Horror, he says that he killed him, to which Face of Horror replies that "I got better. My master [Apophis] heals all wounds."

No Such Thing as Wizard Jesus
 The Kane Chronicles / int_e8967758
comment
No Such Thing as Wizard Jesus: Averted in another important religious figure- it is made very clear that Moses was actually a magician (or at least, he's described as such by Zia). On top of that, a comment from Bes in The Throne of Fire suggests that one of his miracles, the parting of the Red Sea, was something any (very powerful) magician from Ancient Egypt could've done. Although gods are manifestly real, All Myths Are True, and Moses was apparently a badass enough wizard that he's the only outsider ever to best the House of Life. So it's still arguable, especially since we learn "other magic" is simply how the House of Life refers to the power of foreign gods. It's also worth noting that according to Amos in book 1, calling upon and channeling a god was how magic was originally preformed.

Crossover Cosmology
 The Kane Chronicles / int_ea8168f
comment
Crossover Cosmology: Although the book only focuses on the Egyptian gods, Thoth mentions that he gets mistaken for the Greek god Hermes and having meet him, and Amos mentions that Manhattan has its own gods, a reference to the Greek gods from Percy Jackson and the Olympians. We also learn why monsters from all series take time to reform: their 'death' banishes them deep into the Duat. The Crown of Ptolemy clarifies that the Mist from the Percy Jackson series is simply the first layer of the Duat, wrapped around the magical features of the world. Moses also makes an appearance in the history hallway. At the beginning of The Throne Of Fire, Carter mentions that he's seen winged horses across the river in Manhattan. In The Serpent's Shadow problems from other gods are predicted to come. In the short story The Son of Sobek Carter teams up with Percy Jackson but they are very careful to avoid revealing too much about their respective worlds, sensing that they're supposed to remain separate. The Staff of Serapis features Sadie teaming up with Annabeth Chase. The Crown of Ptolemy shows Percy, Annabeth, Carter and Sadie all teaming up against Setne.

"Back to Camera" Pose

"Back to Camera" Pose: The typical pose for the protagonists on the covers, looking at the monsters / environments that are facing the camera, instead of facing the camera themselves.
