混沌勢力興起，邪惡巨蛇即將摧毀人類秩序，
世界末日進入倒數計時……

儘管卡特和莎蒂盡了最大努力，仍無法壓制混沌巨蛇阿波非斯的興風作浪，眼見全世界即將陷入永恆黑暗之中，唯一能做的就是徹底消滅阿波非斯。然而，此時「生命之屋」的魔法師起了內鬨，埃及天神之間又遭分化，布魯克林之家的年輕魔法師生徒們幾乎是孤軍奮戰。

面對黑暗勢力，卡特和莎蒂唯一的希望全繫在一道古老咒語，或許能將影子轉化為對付阿波非斯的終極武器。但是這種魔法已經失傳千年，人類世界的命運又岌岌可危，凱恩家族究竟該如何挑戰終極邪惡、完成他們的使命？

全球暢銷【波西傑克森】作者雷克．萊爾頓埃及系列精采大結局！

眾多讀者期待的萊爾頓【埃及守護神】系列，在等待一年之後，第三集終於再度滿足讀者體內的「奇幻癮子」！最終回《巨蛇的闇影》將帶領讀者一同拯救世界末日，同時解開前兩集未解的疑雲。


He’s b-a-a-ack! Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sade 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.
