The Kane Chronicles Books in Order

The Kane Chronicles, as a complete line, includes not just the three main novels but also illustrated companions, short stories, and crossovers with Percy Jackson’s world. Think of this page as the control room for everything tied to Carter and Sadie Kane, from the first disaster at the British Museum to their later run-ins with Greek demigods on Long Island.

Here you’ll find the core trilogy—The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, and The Serpent’s Shadow—plus guides like The Kane Chronicles Survival Guide and Brooklyn House Magician’s Manual. These extras read like in-world training materials, full of maps, creature files, and tips on casting spells, and they’re great for younger readers who like to browse rather than read straight through.

Then there are the crossovers.

In three linked novellas—The Son of Sobek, The Staff of Serapis, and The Crown of Ptolemy—Carter and Sadie collide with Percy and Annabeth when an Egyptian magician called Setne threatens both pantheons. Those stories were later collected in Demigods & Magicians, and this page notes where to slot them so you won’t spoil events from either main series. It’s the best place to see Greek demigod sarcasm and Egyptian spell-casting share the same battlefield.

Whether you’re just meeting the Kanes or circling back after finishing other Camp Half-Blood books, this background explains how the Egyptian arc progresses, which titles are optional, and how the tone shifts from high danger and world-ending stakes to a more relaxed, lore-heavy feel in the companion volumes.
