CARTER AND SADIE KANE, descendants of the magical House of Life, are in pretty big trouble. Despite their bravest efforts, Apophis, the giant snake of Chaos, is still threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Now the Kanes must do something no magician has ever managed - defeat Apophis himself. No pressure there then. Battling against the forces of Chaos, their only hope is an ancient spell - but the magic has been lost for a millennia. Will they find the serpent's shadow, or will they be led to their deaths in the depths of the Underworld

The second title in Rick Riordan's Trials of Apollo series - set in the action-packed world of Percy Jackson. The god Apollo, cast down to earth and trapped in the form of a gawky teenage boy as punishment, must set off on the second of his harrowing (and hilarious) trials. He and his companions seek the ancient oracles - restoring them is the only way for Apollo to reclaim his place on Mount Olympus - but this is easier said than done. Somewhere in the American Midwest is a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his quest to become a god again . . . if it doesn't kill him or drive him insane first. Standing in Apollo's way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate - a Roman emperor whose love of bloodshed and spectacle makes even Nero look tame. To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of a now-mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar demigod faces from Camp Half-Blood. With them by his side, can Apollo face down the greatest challenge of his four thousand years of existence?

Percy Jackson alkotója új kalandra hív. A jelek szerint Carternek és Sadie-nek nem sikerül kordában tartania Apóphiszt, a káosz kígyóját, aki már régóta azon ügyködik, hogy örök sötétségbe borítsa a világot. A Kane testvérek lehetetlennek tűnő feladattal néznek szemben: egyszer és mindenkorra el kell pusztítaniuk a kígyót. Mindeközben az Élet Házában polgárháborús helyzet uralkodik, az istenek pedig megosztottak, így a brooklyni ház ifjú tanoncainak jóformán segítség nélkül kell szembeszállniuk a káosz erőivel. Egyetlen reményük egy ősi varázslat, ami a kígyó saját árnyékából kovácsol fegyvert, de az mágia már évezredekkel ezelőtt elveszett. A Kane testvérek kénytelenek egy erős mágus gyilkos kedvű szellemére hagyatkozni, ugyanis csak ő képes megmutatni nekik a kígyó árnyékát... De persze az is lehet, hogy az alvilág bugyrain át egyenesen a halálba vezeti őket?. Megbízhatnak vajon benne? Persze hogy nem! A halandó világ sorsa forog kockán. A Kane család végzete beteljesül a Kane-krónikák lebilincselő fináléjában. A káosz visszatér! Kövesd a kalandokat!

Rick Riordan's Norse hero faces his greatest challenge yet in the final instalment of the series. Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Now he's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Norse gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Loki's plans, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail on Midsummer's Day. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon who happens to be a former acquaintance. But Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. To defeat Loki, Magnus will need to use words, not force. This will require finding a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make Magnus Chase powerful enough to out-talk the silver-tongued Loki, or destroy Magnus utterly.

Percy Jackson hetedikéve az iskolában meglehetősen unalmasan indul. Egyetlen szörny sem akarja betenni a lábát New York-i sulijába.

Váratlanul érkező barátja, Annabeth is csak rossz hírekkel szolgálhat: a Félvérek táborát védő határokat egy titokzatos ellenség lerombolta, és amíg ezeket újra helyre nem állítják, a félisteneknek nincs hová rejtőzniük. A villámtolvaj lendületes, humoros és rendkívül népszerű folytatásában Percynek és a barátainak át kell szelniük a Szörnyek Tengerét, hogy megmentsék a táborukat.
