The second installment of the Kane Chronicles picks up immediately following the first and carries on the tale of the efforts of Carter and Sadie Kane to prevent Apophis, the serpent god of Chaos, from breaking free and devouring the world. 

The stories are fun mainly because of the unusual creatures that Carter and Sadie are pitted against as well as aided by.
