ARKANE Thrillers

For millennia, they have held the gates of Hell shut against the darkness. But now they're gone… and the gates are swinging wide. When Morgan Sierra receives a package with a note from her father - murdered in a suicide bombing years ago - she goes on high alert. As an agent of ARKANE, the secret organization tasked with investigating the supernatural, Morgan has seen unusual things like this before. But even she isn't prepared to face the danger that's coming… from her own past. Her father's death was no accident. A member of the Remnant - a group of holy men schooled in the deepest mysteries of Kabbalah - her father was one of those charged with protecting our world from the demons that want to take it; to keep sealed the gates of Hell. But the Remnant is dying, its members murdered by Adam Kadmon: a man once groomed to lead the Remnant before turning to twisted paths of power. Kadmon wants to open the portal between our world and Hell, to create a twisted, demonic version of our world over which he will reign supreme. Now, Morgan and her partner - Jake Timber, the enigmatic agent who recruited her for ARKANE - are on the run. From the holiest cities in Israel to underwater cities lost to history, they must follow this trail to the end. To find a way to stop Kadmon before he offers the final sacrifice. A sacrifice of pain. A sacrifice of blood. A sacrifice of one of the children of the Remnant. Kadmon intends to spill the blood of Morgan Sierra… and open wide the Gates of Hell. Gates of Hell is the sixth installment in the bestselling ARKANE series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J.F. Penn. Listen as part of the series, or as a standalone adventure.

"I am become Death, destroyer of worlds." - Bhagavad Gita London. A street cleaner walks into the middle of Trafalgar Square and blows himself up. No mere act of terrorism. The explosion rips open a crater to reveal the underground headquarters of ARKANE - the ultra-secret British agency tasked with investigating the supernatural. Within moments, armed commandos rappel into the breach, blow open ARKANE's vault, and steal a single box containing an ancient relic linked to the Indian god Shiva. By the time ARKANE's best agents, Morgan Sierra and Jake Timber, arrive on the scene, it's over. All they have is some video, a few thin leads, and the whispered words, "Don't let the pieces come together." Soon, Morgan and Jake will find themselves on a quest unlike any they've experienced yet. Racing from the slums of Mumbai to the temples of Kolkata, from the unmarked graves in the killing fields in Rwanda to the most famous tomb of all - the Taj Majal. On the run from a mad scientist who wants to use ancient Indian relics to rewrite the genetic code of every human alive. In search of a threat woven into the very fabric of existence. They've faced danger before, but never like this. Because in a place beyond madness, all that remains is Death, the Destroyer of Worlds. New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J.F. Penn brings you her biggest thrill ride yet in her eighth ARKANE adventure. Listen as a stand-alone story or as part of the series.
