A Guide to the Kane Chronicles series by Rick Riordan

Amos Kane is Julius Kane's younger brother, Carter and Sadie's uncle, and the leader of the twenty-first Nome. He takes in Carter and Sadie after Julius hosts Osiris and is trapped by the god Set.
During the first novel, Amos is possessed by Set and forced to lure his niece and nephew to the god's pyramid in Phoenix, Arizona. Once freed, Amos goes for healing at the first Nome, and does not return to Brooklyn House until the second novel.
His experience hosting Set has changed him, however, and eventually leads to his highly controversial decision to voluntarily host the god during the final battle with Apophis. Amos succeeds Michel Desjardins when the former leader of the House of Life sacrifices himself fighting Apophis.
