La sombra de la serpiente. Novela gráfica / The Serpent's Shadow

La novela gráfica del gran éxito de Rick Riordan.

Mi hermana Sadie y yo hemos tenido que aprender a usar la magia para intentar restaurar el orden del mundo... Pero todo se ha complicado cuando hemos descubierto que Apofis, la serpiente del Caos, ha regresado para destruir la tierra por completo.

Solo tenemos tres días para salvarnos a todos, los dioses de la Ma'at han desaparecido y ¡nadie puede ayudarnos!

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

He's b-a-a-ack! Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sadie Kane can't seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Now Apophis is threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness, and the Kanes are faced with the impossible task of having to destroy him once and for all. Unfortunately, the magicians of the House of Life are on the brink of civil war, the gods are divided, and the young initiates of Brooklyn House stand almost alone against the forces of chaos. The Kanes' only hope is an ancient spell that might turn the serpent's own shadow into a weapon, but the magic has been lost for a millennia. To find the answer they need, the Kanes must rely on the murderous ghost of a powerful magician who might be able to lead them to the serpent's shadow . . . or might lead them to their deaths in the depths of the underworld.

Nothing less than the mortal world is at stake when the Kane family fulfills its destiny in this thrilling conclusion to the Kane Chronicles.

This non-stop thrill ride is adapted and brought to life by Orpheus Collar, who developed the other Kane Chronicles graphic novels and worked on The Lightning Thief; The Graphic Novel; The Lost Hero, The Graphic Novel; and many other titles including The Amazing Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men.
Rick Riordan (San Antonio, Estados Unidos, 1964) es, sin duda, uno de los autores de literatura juvenil más respetados. Profesor de instituto, el fulgurante éxito de la serie «Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo» hizo que pudiera dedicarse a la escritura a tiempo completo.
