Fittingly, it's written by the same author. It's about a coulple of teens, Carter and Sadie, who's father is killed while trying to ressurect his power by invoking the power of Osiris, God of the Afterlife, but he accidentally awakens Set, God of Chaos, who kills him. Set in turn, releases the Gods of Egypt. Some of them adapt to the present day and continue their jobs even though they are not worshipped, other join Set in his quest to conquor the world.

The kids in turn, learn that they are desendents of a real life egyptian priest order who could use the power of the gods, and sometimes even fight them. Among the Gods encountered in the first book are Set and Osiris of course. Thoth, God of Knowledge and Science is encountered as an Oxford college professor who likes BBQ, Rock and Roll, and has Ibis's as his secretary's, Bastet, Goddess of Cats serves as a mentor to the kids in the first book and is portrayed as a socially awkward, but benelvolent goddess. Anubis, God of the Dead, is portrayed as a gothic teenage boy, and becomes Sadie's love interest. Less benevolent gods who join Set include Sobek, God of the Nile, Nekhmet, Goddess of Protection, Sekhmet, Goddess of War, etc. Horus, God of the Sky, also appears as a protagonist. Ra however, Pharoah of the Gods, and God of the Sun however, is MIA.
