Carter and Sadie Kane, the titular characters, were inspired by two siblings that he taught, as well multicultural society. The idea of having two multiracial siblings narrate the books also came from his experience as a teacher. Riordan had already written and published several books in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, which dealt with the interaction between Greek mythology and the modern world. They and their friends are forced to contend with Egyptian gods and goddesses who still interact with the modern world.Īuthor Rick Riordan, a former middle-school social studies teacher, stated that the idea for The Kane Chronicles came from his realization that the only ancient history subject more popular than Ancient Greece was Ancient Egypt. The siblings are powerful magicians descended from the two pharaohs Narmer and Ramses the Great. The novels are narrated alternately in first-person by the two protagonists, siblings Carter and Sadie Kane. The series is set in the same universe as Riordan's other franchises, Camp Half-Blood Chronicles and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. The Kane Chronicles is a trilogy of adventure and Egyptian mythological fiction books written by American author Rick Riordan.
