The carter chronicles rapidshare

Now in my dreams, my almost two year old takes a few independent steps towards me. Or maybe a lot of independent steps. Maybe I will be watching her giggling as she runs to her dad. I wake up haunted. Every morning. It grows increasingly more painful as I see children, now a full 12 months or more younger than Carter, walking. Running to their dads giggling. The delays. How hard she has to work to achieve things that come naturally to so many children.

How she fights and cries during her physical therapy sessions. She has been making progress. Standing while only holding on with one hand. Standing while she leans into the couch. Even getting a little confidence to pick up her feet to dance a little bit with her cousins! It is a decent method to work with compacted documents.

Get WXtoImg v2. Amos flies his boat to Las Cruces, landing on the roof of a church. While there, Carter tries a red-hot tortilla and burns his mouth. Finally, they find Zia who doesn't trust Amos and asks to speak to Carter alone. However, Desjardins and two other magicians arrive and Amos blasts Zia, not believing her protests that she didn't betray them and that it must have been Mel.

Carter helps Zia while Amos drives away the other magicians and faces off with Desjardins. Zia proves herself to be on their side by standing up to Desjardins and Amos creates a sandstorm to distract Desjardins, allowing them to flee to his boat while he holds him off. Upon reaching the boat and seeing that Amos is in trouble, Zia casts a pillar of fire spell to chase Desjardins, exhausting her magic and impressing Carter.

However, Desjardins, desperate to stop them, summons Sekhmet , which Carter knows is a bad thing as she doesn't stop until her enemy is destroyed. Carter flies the boat as Amos has his magic coat and he has a hard time controlling it at first. After having to wish Horus a happy birthday to shut him up, Carter tries to get advice from the god on how to defeat Sekhmet, but Horus tells him its impossible.

Despite Carter's best efforts, Sekhmet gains on them and part of the boat catches on fire. Zia wakes up and has Carter fly them to a Magic Salsa, Inc. Carter crashes the boat into the factory and helps Zia and Sadie out. Zia explains how in ancient times, in order to stop Sekhmet, the magicians of Egypt tricked her into gorging herself on alcohol, thinking it was blood, making her pass out and turn into Hathor. Zia suggests they burst open some nearby salsa tanks and trick her into feeding on that to turn her into Hathor and defeat her.

While Sadie distracts Sekhmet, Carter flies as a falcon to the top of the nearest tank and transforms directly into his avatar, breaking open the tanks and tricking Sekhmet into gorging herself on the salsa.

The plan works and Sekhmet passes out and transforms into a sleeping Hathor once full. Needing another way to reach Phoenix with the boat destroyed, Carter comes up with the plan to use the only remaining sixteen-wheeler in the parking lot to drive there and has Zia teach him the spell Amos used to animate his coat for the task.

Carter, using the spell and Doughboy, is able to animate his own coat and they start the drive to Phoenix. As Sadie sleeps in the back, Carter and Zia discuss the events that have happened and how Zia's siding with them will get her shunned from the House of Life. Carter offers her to join them, but she is unsure what they will do even if they defeat Set and save North America.

Zia explains to Carter how Iskandar apparently forsaw that she would be in danger as he took her aside after her return from the British Museum and told her that she was in danger and he would take her somewhere safe, but she can't remember what happened next and guesses that Iskandar apparently didn't get time to do anything as soon after she was sent to rescue them in New York.

Zia then reveals to Carter that she knows Set's secret name which is what she had wanted to tell him, but asks him not to tell Amos who she believes is being possessed by Set.

Zia explains that she has a voice inside of her telling her the name and Carter comes to the conclusion that she is the host of Nephthys, pointing out that Zia was also at the British Museum when the gods were released.

Zia is shocked at the idea, but doesn't believe it to be true as the other magicians would've noticed by now and she would've been destroyed. Carter points out his belief that Desjardins is possessed by Set, but Zia doesn't believe that and insists its Amos, telling Carter that only he or Sadie could use Set's secret name to defeat him.

However, before they can discuss it more, Amos returns, having escaped Sekhmet. As they get closer to Phoenix and sunrise on Set's birthday, visibility turns bad from the massive sandstorm Set is generating and magic and the truck's GPS don't work so Carter and Amos go to a gas station for directions.

By the time they return, Sadie is awake and they continue their journey to Camelback Mountain and Set's pyramid. Nearing the mountain, they drive into the eye of the storm where there and find themselves near sunrise. In order to sneak up the mountain, Amos turns the group into clouds against their wishes, especially Zia who points out that storm magic is also chaos magic.

As clouds, they reach the top of the mountain and find the pyramid nearly complete with the pyramidion the only piece left and that is being lowered into place by two boats. Carter, in the form of a falcon, Sadie, in the form of a kite, Amos, in the form of a fruit bat and Zia, holding onto a giant vulture she transforms an amulet into, attack the boats, killing all the demons on one and turning the other into smoke, sending the demons on it plummeting off.

Carter cuts the lines holding the pyramidion to their boat before it can cause the boat to crash, causing the pyramidion to crash to the ground and killing a lot of demons. As the surviving demons come after them, Amos creates a distraction by setting the boat on fire and crashing it into the demons, allowing Carter, Sadie and Zia to escape and reach the pyramid. Inside, Carter seals the doors using the Eye of Horus and they make their way to the throne room through hallways full of terrible drawings.

In the throne room, they find their father's coffin as part of the throne and Amos arrives through a vent in the ceiling which he seals.

However, Set reveals himself to be possessing Amos as Zia suspected and abandons his body. Set explains that he was mostly possessing the pyramid and only had a sliver of his soul possessing Amos, but it was enough to trick them and lure them into a trap. Set explains that the storm magic was Amos' way of trying to warn them, but Set forced him to use his own energy for it and Amos nearly burned out his soul trying to warn them. Carter realizes that Set forced Amos to sabotage Brooklyn House's defenses and knew the whole time that Carter's ba was spying on him, but wonders why he didn't just have Amos kidnap them.

Set answers him that Amos' will was too strong and he would've burned Amos up trying, which he wasn't willing to do. Carter fights Horus' attempts to take control, but when Set insults them, they act as one and hit Set with the Fist of Horus. However, Set isn't hurt and when he goes after Zia who he believes hosts Nephthys, Carter tries to intervene and is magically pinned to a wall.

Carter grows worried for Zia as he no longer believes her to be hosting Nephthys as he couldn't sense any divine magic from her and struggles to break free as Zia fails to defend herself against Set and tells him not to resist. Set discovers that Carter is right, that Zia is not Nephthys' host and angrily throws her against a pillar, badly injuring her.

Sadie saves Zia from falling to her death and protects her and seeing that causes Carter to finally understand that he can't continue to resist Horus, that they must act as one to defeat Set.

Carter and Horus merge in what is a very rare true merge of host and god and learn everything there is to know about each other in that moment. Now merged, Carter breaks free of his bonds easily and stands up to face Set, identifying himself as Carter Kane, Blood of the Pharaohs and the Eye of Horus.

Carter, in his combat avatar, battles Set, causing the throne room to start collapsing and endangering Sadie, Zia and Amos. Realizing this, he turns Set into a fruit bat and himself into a falcon and flies out the pyramid's air shaft to continue the battle outside. However, even merged with Horus, Carter has a hard time against Set. Carter spots magicians from the House of Life battling and failing to win against Set's demon army with only a couple of minutes to sunrise and attempts to prevent the pyramidion from being placed, but is unable to stop the demons.

However, Desjardins defeats the demons and tries to destroy the pyramidion, but is stopped by Set who places it himself and gloats as there is only thirty seconds to sunrise at which point he will be unstoppable. As everything looks to be over, Sadie arrives, merged with Isis and opens a portal to Washington, DC, pulling them, Set, the red pyramid, the magicians and the demons in.

In Washington D. Carter attacks Set, holding him off a lot easier than before while Sadie casts the spell from the Book of Overcoming Set. Carter successfully holds Set off long enough for magical ropes to ensnare him after Sadie speaks his secret name, gotten from Zia and the army of demons is sucked back into the Duat. However, to Carter's confusion, Sadie stops the spell before banishing Set and with Horus pushing him towards vengeance, Carter is left confused as to why she would falter at such a crucial moment.

Sadie then throws the Feather of Truth into the sky where it explodes, revealing what she had noticed: Apophis in the clouds trying to escape his prison by using the chaos energy Set's storm would have generated. In anger, Face of Horror attacks Sadie and nearly kills her, but Carter throws his sword into the demon's side, mortally wounding him.

Before he dies, Face of Horror reveals himself to be possessed by Apophis who points out how much destruction he caused just by possessing a demon and promises worse once he breaks free of his prison.

Carter and Sadie then turn to Set and try to convince of the truth of how he was actually manipulated and would've likely been destroyed once Apophis had broken free of his prison. They point out how Set once fought against Apophis as Ra's faithful lieutenant and ask him to help them do so again. After Carter threatens to chop his head off, pointing out that that would probably keep him away for a long time and Sadie uses her control over him due to knowing his secret name, Set finally agrees not to return until Carter and Sadie call on him to fight with them against Apophis and swears on his secret name, Ra's throne and Nut's starry elbows before Sadie orders him back to the Duat.

With Set gone, Carter and Sadie go to check on Amos and Zia who Zia managed to shield from the destruction of the red pyramid during the spell. Zia used up all of her remaining energy to shield them and is now dying. Zia tells Carter to find "her" and that "she" would like to go on the promised date to a mall with him and that she is just a placeholder before dying.

As Carter grieves over Zia's body, Sadie points out to him that Zia is turning to clay and cracking and as they watch, a ball of blue fire is released from her body like the one Carter witnessed Zia release in the First Nome and Zia crumbles to dust. Sadie reveals that Zia was actually a shabti all along with the real Zia hidden somewhere by Iskandar to protect her as she is hosting Nephthys. Carter realizes that the blue light was the shabti sending her memories to the real Zia and declares that they have to find her.

At that moment, Desjardins arrives with three other magicians to confront them, demanding to know how they could make a deal with Set rather than banishing him and declaring that they are drunk with power from hosting the gods. He also refuses to give Carter the pharaoh's throne which he believes Carter wants. However, Carter and Sadie release the gods into the Duat, astounding the magicians and Carter declares that he doesn't want the throne unless he can earn it, which will take a long time.

After initially planning to attack them, Desjardins hesitates and leaves with the other magicians, declaring that enough destruction had been wrought for one day and that the Path of the Gods must remain closed despite Carter and Sadie wanting to teach it again.

Needing to get out of the area before the mortals arrive, Carter turns Amos into a hamster and as a falcon, along with Sadie as a kite, flies them away from the scene to a train station. After Washington is opened up again, Carter and Sadie manage to buy tickets to Brooklyn and return to Brooklyn House, the only safe place they know, where they find Khufu waiting for them with Muffin and having made them up places to sleep. Carter and Sadie lock away their amulets, deciding that they need to learn how to use magic without the aid of Horus and Isis before hosting the gods again, though Carter always examines his amulet which still holds some of Horus' power, tempted to put it back on and host Horus again.

They work on rebuilding Brooklyn House and helping Amos who falls into a depression over his possession and helplessness during that time. After a few weeks of work on the House, Anubis shows up and Carter sees in him in his full human form, not just with the head of a jackal.

He takes them to the Hall of Judgement where Carter and Sadie are reunited with their father, now fully hosting Osiris and the spirit of their mother. Julius explains that he planned to host Osiris and then die so that he could return Osiris to rightful place in the Underworld as the first step towards restoring the gods and Ma'at.

Ruby gives them a djed amulet, the symbol of Osiris to awaken the power of the other children who are blood of the pharaohs so as to have more people to train in the Path of the Gods. Julius also gives them advice to give to Amos for him. After saying goodbye to their parents, Carter and Sadie are taken by Anubis to the throne room of the gods where Horus asks Carter to merge with him once again so they can take up rule of the gods and House of Life, but Carter refuses.

Carter and Sadie watch as Horus become pharaoh of the gods and he and Isis promise them a gift as thanks for stopping Apophis and Set. The next day, they find the gift: Brooklyn House completely restored, work that would've taken them months done in one night. Amos, somewhat happier, even comes to breakfast and uses magic for the first time since his possession by Set.

He announces his decision to go to the First Nome and get help from the healers there with his problems and leaves after saying goodbye and giving Carter and Sadie permission to stay at Brooklyn House. As part of the gift, Bast returns as well. When Carter is given a selection of clothes from his closet, instead of putting on his new linen clothes or the old clothes he wore traveling with his father, Carter chooses to dress more like a regular teenager.

Sadie calls their grandparents and Carter is relieved to learn that despite the fact that she can now go home, she chooses to remain with him at Brooklyn House. Deciding to spread their story, Carter and Sadie travel to a school shown to Sadie in a dream to put the djed amulet in a locker to draw more children like them to Brooklyn House for training.

Along the way, they are chased by the forces of chaos and record their adventures to be published so the story will get out there. Carter leads a team consisting of himself, Sadie, and initiates Walt Stone and Jaz to the Brooklyn Museum to retrieve the Book of Ra that is there after learning of its location from Horus after months of asking as part of their plan to revive the sun god Ra.

They succeed in sneaking in, and find the statue of Khnum which Horus said would contain a "clue" to location of the Book of Ra. However, Sadie realizes that to release the Book of Ra all she has to do is tap part of the statue with her wand and when she picks the Book up, it activates every reservoir of Egyptian magic in the museum, accidentally awakening a griffin and awakening seven bau called the Seven Arrows of Sekhmet.

One infects Walt when he tries to open a window on Carter's orders and Jaz uses a lot of energy saving him. The griffin, later named Freak by Carter, recognizes Carter's connection to Horus and he is able to bring it under control after it eats one of the bau and goes on a rampage. Jaz casts a spell to banish the bau , but one of them is possessed by Apophis who threatens that if Carter doesn't give up his quest to stop him, he will kill Zia where she is entombed in The Place of Red Sand.

Carter scares the bau away with the Eye of Horus symbol he summons and the bau are banished, though it leaves Jaz in a coma. Carter has everyone escape the museum by tying a boat to Freak and having him fly them to Brooklyn House. Carter ends up feeling a lot of guilt for Jaz's coma and is taken as a ba by Horus to see Apophis' prison and the state of Ra's sun boat to show him why its a bad idea to wake Ra.

He is also shown how Dejardins is plotting against him with Vladimir Menshikov. This causes him to send Bast to check on the prison and alert Amos, who returns to what's going on as well without explaining to Sadie who he blames for Jaz's state due to her recklessness. Reluctantly, Carter lets Sadie go to London for her birthday and adopts Freak as a pet when he doesn't leave, building him a roost to live on.

During a lesson Carter is teaching to the Brooklyn House trainees, Apophis attacks by controlling a monster and threatens to destroy them as he did Zia's village. Carter and the trainees destroy the monster, but Carter is left shaken up by the experience. After learning that Sadie is in trouble in London, Carter and Walt travel there through a portal from the museum as their portal at Brooklyn House still needs to cool down from when Sadie used it and manage to get to Waterloo Bridge in time to find themselves in a crowd of riot police which Carter uses the sleep spell to put to sleep.

Sadie arrives with Bes and Carter is concerned at first until she explains how Bes saved them and that he is a friend of Bast's. Carter sets out with Sadie, Walt and Bes to find a portal to get to St. Petersburg after learning from Sadie that Anubis told her that the second part of the book was there.

Walt is left behind at the portal to go back to Brooklyn House for a reason he and Bes refuse to elaborate on but that is dangerous for him and they travel to St. In St. Petersburg, Sadie and Carter infiltrate Menshikov's lair, the Hermitage Museum using the invisibility spell Carter learned, though he hasn't perfected it and find him busy performing an execration to summon Set.

Carter and Sadie steal the Book without being noticed and learn that Menshikov is working for Apophis and trying to free him by learning from Set about his prison and Brooklyn House's defenses so he can attack there. Set points out Sadie and Carter to Menshikov and he releases a tjesu heru on them while they release Set.

Set holds off Menshikov and Carter battles the monster, losing his khopesh and getting bitten before Sadie destroys it. Set, while claiming the poison to be fatal and incurable, helps Sadie carry Carter out to Bes' car and along with giving up the location of the last part of the Book, tells Sadie to tell Carter that Zia's village is called Al-Hamrah Makan.

After learning from Jaz's ren and a vision of Isis curing Ra how to cure Carter, Sadie asks Carter for his Secret Name to cure him as his time is nearly up and he reluctantly does so. Learning Carter's secret name allows Sadie to understand him better and she is able to cure him. After explaining about what Set told them about the location of the last piece of the Book of Ra, Sadie reluctantly tells Carter about what Set said about Zia's village due to Carter's obsession with finding her.

Carter realizes the name translates to "The Place of Red Sand" and that it was what Apophis was trying to tell him through the bau. Despite the certainty of it being a trap and despite needing to stick together to find and use the Book, Carter decides to go find and rescue Zia. Sadie reluctantly agrees, deciding to call upon Walt to help her and they make a vague plan to meet up again in time to use the book on the equinox the next day despite knowing they likely won't have the time as they are going in opposite directions for their goals.

Carter sets out with Bes to find the village and traveling with some Bedouins and using Bes' status as a god, the two are able to learn the location of the village ruins. Along the way, the two discuss Bes' capture by Menshikov's grandfather and Carter realizes that a goddess that Bes was in love with rescued him.

Bes tells him to shut up, but gives him advice on his relationship with Zia, telling him that rescuing someone can change the relationship between the rescued and rescuer for the worse. They find it now covered by the Nile and while Carter tries to figure out how to part the river as Bes suggests, they come under attack by water demons which Carter destroys with the Fist of Horus.

Using the Fist also parts the Nile and they find the entrance to Zia's tomb. Entering the tomb, Carter finally finds the real Zia in a sarcophagus made of water with Ra's crook and flail and he receives a vision of Iskandar placing her in the tomb and realizes she is being driven insane by horrible nightmares.

Carter frees Zia, but her body starts to reject Nephthys so he and Bes place her in the river and release Nephthys to where she truly belongs. Zia wakens, confused as the only time she truly met Carter was at the British Museum after the gods were released and although she possess the memories of her shabti , they are more like a movie to her and leave her even more confused. Before Carter can talk to her much, Desjardins and Menshikov show up and imprison Bes.

They convince Zia that Carter is the enemy by pointing out that he and Sadie let Set go and her memories from her shabti will show that. Carter manages to summon the combat avatar of Horus for the first time without hosting the god and battles Menshikov, but loses and starts to be turned into a snake. Luckily, Sadie and Walt arrive through a portal created by Ptah anchored on Bes.

The portal breaks Bes' cage and he scares off Menshikov and Desjardins, saving Carter. Zia passes out and the group sets out for Cairo in the Bedouins' truck with Carter falling asleep on the way. While asleep, Carter's ba travels to the Hall of Ages where he meets with Horus. Horus tries to convince him to take up the throne of the pharaoh and merge with him again and shows him what Desjardins and Menshikov are up to to try to convince him.

Carter learns from the vision that Menshikov has gathered an army of magicians, demons and uraeus to attack Brooklyn House and the magicians are the very worst the House has to offer including Sarah Jacobi and Kwai.

Desjardins gives permission to attack, but shows that he doesn't quite trust Menshikov's plans anymore. When Carter wakes up, he finds himself in a Cairo hotel room in Pokemon clothes and learns that while Zia repeatedly tried to escape, Sadie convinced her to trust them. Zia reveals she never trusted Menshikov and offers her aid in defending Brooklyn House, planning to travel there with Walt while Carter, Sadie and Bes enter the Duat to try to find and revive Ra.

Carter isn't too happy with this, but ultimately agrees as Zia has a chance of talking the magicians down. As they have to wait for sunset to be able to open a portal as its the equinox, Carter watches as the others play senet. Finally, at sunset, Carter climbs with the others to the top of the Great Pyramid to open a portal into the Duat and discusses his relationship with Zia with her.

Zia tells him that while she understands why he did what he did and appreciates it, she needs time to sort things out for herself.

After the portal is opened, Bes promises to meet them at the Fourth House of the Night and leaves to help Zia and Walt get to Brooklyn House while Sadie and Carter travel to the Duat where they find Ra's now very leaky sun boat and the gods Nekhbet and Babi who had before tried to kill Sadie while possessing their grandparents.

The two try to warn them off, but Carter uses Ra's crook and flail to subdue them and make them swear loyalty before sending them away. Carter travels through the Houses of the Night with Sadie on Ra's sun boat, following the sun god's old nightly path through the Duat despite his reservations about the state of the boat.

Carter helps Sadie summon the crew lights and bails the boat out as it leaks a lot. He also explains what the Twelve Houses really represent and how they each act in relation to human sleep patterns. They come across Khnum at the entrance to the Fourth House and Carter watches as Sadie manages to use the Book of Ra to figure out Khnum's secret name and reunite him with Ra.

Carter continues to bail the boat and is horrified when they approach the Lake of Fire and tries to get the crew to turn around to no success. Even when Sadie explains that they need to let the boat sail through as its part of the journey, Carter still tries to stop the boat and at first refuses to let Sadie write on his forehead until she explains she's trying to create a shield from the fire.

As the shield takes the form of fire itself, Carter panics at first upon being surrounded by it, but calms down and holds Sadie's hand as they travel underwater through the Lake of Fire.

Eventually the boat surfaces good as new and docks at the House of Rest where they meet up with Bes. At the House of Rest, Carter meets with the goddess, Tawaret , who clearly has feelings for Bes and helps to search for Ra in the House after explaining that they only have until the eighth hour of the night to get past the gates of the Eighth House or they will be trapped until the next night.

Carter gets to see a lot of the old forgotten gods and is saddened by their mentally degraded states. Carter doesn't like Sadie's idea to start the next part of the spell to find Ra as it could kill her if they fail to cast it fully in time, but goes along with it. Carter is shocked when they find Ra and he is an extremely old man, but helps Sadie complete the spell by giving her the netjeri blade Anubis gave her for awakening Ra. Ra awakens and to their horror, he is completely senile.

Thinking that maybe they need to complete their journey and find Ra's last part to allow him to be fully reborn, they are horrified to find a calling card left by Menshikov and that they are too late to get through the gates of the Eighth House.

At Tawaret's suggestion, Carter travels with Bes, Sadie and Ra to the Seventh House where he meets his parents who comfort him and the others over their failure. His parents reveal a possible solution: bargain with the moon god Khonsu for three more hours in the night so the gates of the Eighth House won't be closed and they can continue their journey.

In order to do so, Khonsu demands they play senet against him with their rens on the line if he moves a piece off the board. Despite their mother's objections, Sadie and Carter agree, joined by Bes as the needed third player. As Carter doesn't know how to play, he lets the other do most of the work while he moves the pieces around.

They succeed in getting a piece off the board, but so does Khonsu so Carter prepares to sacrifice his ren. However, Bes sacrifices himself for them instead, revealing that he was prepared to all along if unnecessary and Carter watches in horror as Bes loses his ren.

Quickly, Carter and Sadie win the game and get the needed time and are able to make it through the gates of the Eighth House just before they close once again. Continuing their journey, Carter and Sadie find themselves in a cavern with demons, Menshikov and Apophis' prison which is sealed by the now mostly dead form of Khepri , Ra's last incarnation.

Carter learns that in summoning Khepri to fully awaken Ra, they also free Apophis, but Desjardins arrives, having switched sides and tells Sadie to cast the last spell while he holds Menshikov off. Carter watches the action and Sadie succeeds in casting the spell, summoning the last surviving scarab beetle of Khepri's form, but releasing Apophis who possess Menshikov.

He beats Desjardins, but Carter and Sadie defeat him. However, Apophis rises again, burying Sadie in sand. Carter searches for her while Apophis goes after Ra. However, while Carter rescues Sadie, Desjardins rises again and holds off Apophis, using an execration to destroy Menshikov's form and banish Apophis in the end.

Carter rescues Sadie and drags Desjardins onto the sun boat as the cavern fills with water and they escape. Carter holds Desjardins' hand as he dies from using all of his life force to temporarily banish Apophis and Desjardins gives him his cape to give to Amos and tells him with his dying words to keep training people in the path of the gods.

To Carter and Sadie's sorrow, after everything they sacrificed, giving the Khepri beetle to Ra doesn't cause him to be reborn and they emerge from the Duat at sunrise as Chaos sickness nearly kills them to find Brooklyn House under attack. After reaching Brooklyn House, Carter quickly takes part in its defense which has been rejuvenated by the return of Ra. Carter helps defeat the enemy and watches as Sadie shocks them into listening to her as they try to flee.

Carter helps with the explanation of what happened in the Duat, of Apophis and Ra's returns and Desjardins' death and gives Amos the Chief Lector's cloak as Desjardins asked him.

While most of the surviving enemy magicians surrender, Sarah Jacobi, Kwai and a few others leave, promising to spread the "truth" about Desjardins' death and Apophis' rise and to continue to resist them. Carter is relieved to learn that Amos is the most powerful magician in the world after Desjardins and is thus now Chief Lector. He is also happy that Ra's return revived Jaz who helps defend Brooklyn House.

After everything is over, Carter watches Amos leave to go to the First Nome to take up his place as Chief Lector and is joined by Zia who promises to support him. To Carter's shock, Zia touches him on the arm and promises him that they will talk when everything is settled.

Carter then journey's with Sadie and Bast to the throne room of the gods to witness Ra's return as leader of the gods. There, Horus publicly embraces him as an ally and brother, but privately warns that while Carter still has his support, if they die he will destroy Carter himself and if they succeed in defeating Apophis without Ra and he lost his throne for nothing, he will place a terrible curse upon Carter's family, one that will be worse than any curse ever placed before.

Carter then travels back to the House of Rest and is sad to see Bes in his mindless state and watches Sadie promise to find a way to restore him. Carter leads a team to the Dallas Museum to retrieve the copy of the Book of Overcoming Apophis by the magician Setne that is there after Cleo discovers that Apophis has destroyed all the other copies by him. Carter enlists the help of JD Grissom , the head of that Nome who is dubious at Carter's "crack team.

Apophis destroys the Book, but following the advice of a mysterious face that appears to her in the wall, Sadie has the team protect a mysterious golden box. Carter puts up a shield to protect the box, but falters when Apophis tells him his leadership will fail in the end.

After Sadie distracts Apophis away from him, Carter nearly collapses from the effort of maintaining his shield and battles a cryosphinx with his khopesh to no avail. In the end, Sadie casts [[Ma'at spell Ma'at] and drives off Apophis, but nearly dies from the effort. She survives and they discover, to their horror that Apophis' forces destroyed the Nome and killed all of the magicians including JD and his wife. Blaming himself, Carter sadly has the team fix the museum as much as possible and then use the nearby Freak to transport themselves and the box home.

After returning to Brooklyn House, the group discusses with Bast the box which she reveals is King Tut's shadow box and holds one-fifth of his soul. However, Bast is reluctant to talk about the importance of that and Carter adjourns the meeting when he learns that Zia is trying to reach him.

Zia discusses with Carter the destruction of the Texas Nome and how the rebels are blaming Carter. Zia shows Carter a message broadcast by the rebel leader Sarah Jacobi portraying Carter and his family in an evil light and demanding his surrender.

Zia explains how the rebels might attack the First Nome, how weak it actually is and how most of their allies have either been destroyed or defected before having to go to deal with Ra and when Sobek shows up. Later, while Carter is examining the shabti he, Sadie and Walt made of Apophis in case they needed to try an execration to defeat him, Horus arrives possessing a pigeon and tells him that its a bad idea.

The two discuss the idea and Carter asks if Horus has a better idea to which Horus, who admits a limited knowledge of magic, doesn't. However, when Horus brings up the fact that statues and shadows were once both called sheut , Carter comes up with the idea to destroy Apophis by execrating his shadow instead, which Horus likes.

However, before they can discuss things further, Horus' pigeon can't hold him any longer and he has to leave. The next morning, Carter explains his idea to everyone and how he figures that this was what Apophis was hiding by destroying the Book. At the dance, Carter is forced to dance with Sadie's friend Lacy and is knocked out when Shu arrives to interrupt Sadie and Anbuis dancing.

Carter isn't thrilled to learn that she plans to take the Russian magician Leonid to see Amos, but agrees and also agrees to take Walt to see Thoth and to keep him from doing too much magic. Carter and Walt take Freak to Memphis to see Thoth and find his pyramid under attack. Carter reluctantly allows Walt to help defend it and in the battle that follows, comes face to face with his resurrected old enemy Face of Horror.

The demon is once again possessed by Apophis and is shown a vision of his mother and other spirits being dragged towards Apophis' shadow and of Apophis destroying the world.

Apophis offers him a deal: hand over Ra and Apophis will spare him and his family. However, before things can go any further, Thoth kills the demon and the battle ends. Thoth has Carter and Walt take a nap and when Carter wakes up, he finds that Walt is awake and discussing something with Thoth that Thoth says is dangerous and has never been done before.

The two stop discussing it when they see Carter is awake and Thoth reveals that he is under attack so he can't help them out. Thoth tells Carter that he is right, that a shadow execration could destroy a god or even Apophis himself, but he refuses to tell Carter how to do it or where to find Apophis' shadow as it is forbidden to talk of such subjects. Thoth instead suggests finding Setne who stole a book he wrote called the Book of Thoth.

The book details the location of all gods shadows and Setne was able to use it to create a shadow execration. Thoth informs Carter that Setne is on trial at sunset in the Underworld and will be sentenced to destruction so they only have until then to get his help. Thoth has Carter and Walt leave before sunrise and the next attack and tells Walt to tell Carter something. On the ride back, Walt explains that he and Anubis are sure that he will die soon, by sunset of the next day.

Carter desperately tries to figure out a way to save Walt and Walt explains that there is a way, but that Carter may not like the side-effects.

Walt wants to tell Sadie first, but due to his deteriorating condition, he is losing control over his powers and accidental disintegrates the boat.

Carter and Walt manage to hang onto ropes hanging from Freak's belly for the rest of the short ride and make it safely back to Brooklyn House.
