Sadie Kane Timeline & Summary

  • Sadie's dad and brother are late during one of their twice-yearly visits, so she is more sarcastic than usual when they show up.
  • Sadie agrees to help her dad at the British Museum, but she gets worried when he blows up the Rosetta Stone and summons gods.
  • Before she knows it, Sadie is whisked away to Brooklyn by her long-forgotten Uncle Amos. She thinks Carter doesn't count as family, really, since she hardly knows him.
  • Amos gives Sadie and Carter Magic 101 before disappearing, and then Sadie's cat Muffin turns into the cat goddess Bast and saves the kids from Set's minions.
  • The kids need more saving, so Zia turns up (she rubs Sadie the wrong way for most of the book).
  • When Zia takes the kids to Egypt, Sadie is enchanted by the visions of the gods in the Hall of Ages. She witnesses some of the original conflicts between the gods and has a deep conversation with Iskandar, the Chief Lector.
  • Zia takes the kids out to train them, and Sadie discovers that she is more skilled at magic than she should be—which is apparently enough to get her killed for the crime of potentially hosting a god.
  • The kids flee to Paris and are happily reunited with Bast, though Sadie is not so happy about turning into a bird and having trouble turning back again. Oh, and about having Isis in her head.
  • Next stop: America. Sadie has a one-on-one with the sky goddess Nut and is told to look for Nephthys, another goddess who was released in the blast.
  • The kids visit Thoth in Memphis, and Sadie's magic gets them out of a few scrapes.
  • Sadie runs into Anubis in the Land of the Dead and swoons over his morbid hotness. She still manages to get a feather of truth for the spell she needs to defeat Set.
  • When the kids pick up Amos and then Zia, Sadie is super distrustful of Zia. But then Amos turns out to be Set's host—so that didn't go as well as Sadie had hoped.
  • During the battle with Set, Sadie converses with her father and learns that he was planning to sacrifice himself in order to become Osiris all along.
  • Sadie also comes up with the plan to transport the pyramid elsewhere in order to cut off Set's connection with the desert.
  • Sadie also recognizes that Apophis is the brains behind the operation, and she calls Carter's attention to it before they banish Set to the Duat for almost-forever.
  • As things wrap up, Sadie is happy to see her mom and dad in the underworld—and is even happier to see Anubis there.
  • Sadie chooses to stay with Carter to reopen the path of the gods rather than return to her old life in England.
