The Kane Chronicles: The Serpent's Shadow

It's here! The Kane Chronicles: The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan is the conclusion to the Kane Chronicles trilogy. Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sadie Kane can't seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Their only hope: find an ancient spell that might turn the serpent's own shadow into a weapon. Check out the book trailer, and put your name on the reserve list!
