Description

When fire falls from the heavens… will the whole world burn?

Dr. Morgan Sierra, an Oxford University psychologist with a deadly past, doesn’t know the answer to that question — and doesn’t care. All she knows is that her sister and niece have been abducted, held hostage for the stone pendants that Morgan and her sister wear: two of twelve relics once owned by the original Apostles.
Forged in fire and wind, drowned in the blood of martyrs, the twelve Pentecost stones have been kept secret for two thousand years. But now the Keepers of the stones are being murdered, and the relics stolen by Thanatos, a shadowy group dedicated to remaking the world into a living Hell.
The authorities are clueless; the world lies helpless. And Thanatos grows more powerful with each stone they take.
Enter Jake Timber — agent of ARKANE, the British agency tasked with investigating the supernatural. Jake knows some of the secrets Morgan needs to save her family, but can’t stop Thanatos without her help. Only together can they stop Thanatos before the stones are captured, before Morgan’s family is murdered, and before the world is changed forever.
From flooded ruins in Italy, to religious sites in Israel, to the far reaches of Iran and Tunisia, Morgan and Jake must race across the world to find the stones before Thanatos gathers the relics and uses their power to turn Earth into a living Hell.
But every step they take brings Morgan and Jake closer to the end. To the knife edge between salvation and madness. To the moment when Morgan will have to decide whether she will save her family… or save the world.
Time is running out. Thanatos draws near. And the day of Pentecost is at hand.

    I’ve read 3 books in the ARKANE series and loved the adventure and mystery in each one. Will definitely read all 12 books in the ARKANE series. I also plan to read all of J.F.Penn’s other books of exciting fiction.

    This was a very good read. For the most part the book read flawlessly! If there was one thing I could change would be the cussing. Wasn’t much but the little that was used could have been done without! Otherwise I would have given 5 stars

    This was the first book I read by J. F. Penn and I found it intriguing and well-written, so much so that I have now read several others. I highly recommend the book and others in the Arkane Thriller series. Hard to put down!

    This book was very entertaining. As a reader and fan of authors such as Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn as well as a writer and someone who is fascinated with history I was unable to put this book down. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

    Impeccable researched, this book is endlessly fascinating and entertaining. Those who have an understanding and appreciation of Biblical history—but still enjoy an action-packed “could-it-really-happen” adventure (without raunchy sex and language)—will love this J.F. Penn novel and will want to continue the saga.
  • Great Series!

    If you like series, this one is great! I started book 1 about 10 days ago and am up to book8 already. Several books are fairly short, but the author keeps the action rolling quite well. The characters are well described as well as the history of the artifact they're chasing in that particular book. DEFINITE recommendation for anyone who enjoys reading 👍🏼
