Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escape into three ARKANE adventures ... STONE OF FIRE: An ancient power. A desperate quest. The clock is ticking. When psychologist and religious expert Dr. Morgan Sierra's sister and niece are kidnapped, she's thrust into a deadly race against time to find twelve ancient stones that could unleash unimaginable power. With only days until Pentecost and the kidnapper's deadline, Morgan must use all her knowledge and resources to track down the artifacts. She's not alone in the hunt. Jake Timber, an enigmatic agent of ARKANE, a secret British agency investigating the supernatural, has his own orders to retrieve the stones at any cost. Torn between her desperate need to save her family and Jake's mission to secure the stones, lines blur as Morgan and Jake forge an uneasy partnership. From the holy sites of Israel and the Vatican to the desert of Tunisia and the Sonoran wilderness of Arizona, Morgan and Jake face sinister forces, ancient traps, and a fanatical enemy determined to use the stones' power for their own dark purposes. Danger, betrayal and a growing attraction complicate their quest. With Pentecost approaching and a storm of apocalyptic proportions brewing, Morgan must confront her past and unearth long-buried secrets to have any hope of saving her family and preventing global catastrophe. Emotions run high and faith is tested as the clock ticks down. Can Morgan stop the stones from falling into the wrong hands, or will she have to choose between saving her family and saving the world? CRYPT OF BONE: Two billion people are about to die... and they’re the lucky ones. When a man in a hospital gown jumps to his death from the Western Wall in Israel, the authorities think it’s just another victim of Jerusalem Syndrome: a religious psychosis triggered by a visit to the holy city. But when a second victim ritually disembowels himself, it’s the sign of much worse to come. Thanatos — a fanatical group dedicated to the destruction of the world — is on the move again. Last time, Morgan and Jake worked together to stop Thanatos from bringing about a dark version of Pentecost. This time, Thanatos is mixing science with sacrilege — combining the Devil’s Bible with mind-control technology to murder a quarter of the human race. Together, Morgan and Jake will travel from the hallowed halls of Oxford, to the labs of a biotech company with a dark agenda, to a chapel made of human bones. They’ll go anywhere, do anything, to stop Thanatos. But they have to hurry. Thanatos is on the rise. Apocalypse is at the gates. And the only way to save a quarter of the world is for Morgan to uncover the secrets of her past... at the cost of her own future. Death awaits in a Crypt of Bone. ARK OF BLOOD: It is the seat of judgment. The pinnacle of holiness. It is the Ark of the Covenant... and it’s the most dangerous weapon in existence. A group of fanatics wearing masks of Egypt’s gods slaughter the curator of Cairo’s most famous museum. A cleaner in Washington, DC, discovers a decapitated head on top of a replica of the Ark of the Covenant. And someone is sharing videos of the deaths with extremists all over the world. It’s a job too big — and too strange — for the normal authorities, but it’s right up the alley of ARKANE, the British agency tasked with investigating mysteries on the edge of the supernatural. Jake is in a coma, nearly killed on a previous mission — so Morgan will have to go it alone. Pursued by vicious mercenaries bent on revenge, hunted by assassins willing to do anything for their cause, Morgan can’t stop, because the Ark of the Covenant is the prize, and it may be more than a simple religious artifact. It may be the secret to ancient alchemy, and the unlocking of a scientific breakthrough that could save the world... or end it.

Download or read book The Taker written by Alma Katsu and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Hunger—hailed by Stephen King as “deeply, deeply disturbing, hard to put down”—comes a hauntingly atmospheric tale filled with alchemy, lust, and betrayal. True love can last an eternity…but immortality comes at a price. On the midnight shift at a hospital in rural Maine, Dr. Luke Findley is expecting another quiet evening of frostbite and the occasional domestic dispute. But the minute Lanore McIlvrae—Lanny—enters his ER, she changes his life forever. A mysterious woman with plenty of dark secrets, Lanny is unlike anyone Luke has ever met. He is inexplicably drawn to her…despite the fact that she is a murder suspect with a police escort. As she begins to tell her story, Luke finds himself utterly captivated. Her impassioned account begins at the turn of the 19th century in the same small town of St. Andrew, Maine, back when it was a Puritan settlement. Consumed as a child by her love for the founder’s son, Jonathan, Lanny will do anything to be with him. But the price she pays is steep—an immortal bond that chains her to a terrible fate for all eternity. And now, two centuries later, the key to her healing and her salvation lies with Dr. Luke Findley. Part historical novel, part supernatural page-turner, The Taker is a “mesmerizing” (Booklist, starred review) story about the power of unrequited love not only to elevate and sustain, but also to blind and ultimately destroy.

Download or read book The Knight Advocate written by Jason Rose and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic, Monsters and Murder! An urban fantasy legal thriller you can sink your teeth into. "If a miracle happens and I somehow manage to kill this vampire psychopath, my prize is the chance to save a girl, and become one of twenty-four Advocates who decide and enforce the laws that govern the millions of monsters that roam the earth eating babies for breakfast. I imagine they're not going to be too happy about having a human as a member of their club. Screw my life. How did I get myself into this?" As a San Francisco Public Defender, Colt Valentine has just about seen and heard it all. That is until he has a meeting with a well-dressed man claiming to be a sixteen-hundred-year-old vampire who tells him that vampires, witches, and shifters are not only living among us, but have their own legal system. Colt, of course, thinks this guy is crazy until he's shown a video of a family being savagely murdered by a monster he never imagined existed ... not even in his darkest nightmares. Nothing is above the law ... not even monsters! "Just another routine day at the office, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary-other than the fact that the judge has a giant scorpion tail, the defense attorney's a vampire, and the defendant's a werespider who would very much like to rip my head off and drink me dry." Colt is a great trial lawyer, trained by the best, but even he begins to doubt himself as he is immersed in this dark world of magic, monsters, and murder. Colt tries to balance his old life with his new life, while struggling to obtain justice under a set of arcane laws that govern a society that views humans as nothing more than their next meal. The worst part of his new job is that, if he loses, he could lose more than just a trial, he could lose his life. Reader's love Colt Valentine!"Great book. Can't wait for the next one. Wonderful book. The narrative is engaging and moved the story ahead at a brisk pace. Look forward to reading the further adventurous of Colt Valentine." - Ginzain ★★★★★ "Please hurry up and write more! I really loved the mix of humor/banter between characters, the lawyer's approach and court drama, the "door" hopping, the plethora of "monsters" and the fact that this could, and should, be the first of a long list of "Advocate" clients, either human or not!" - M. Flinders ★★★★★ "I love this book! I really enjoyed this story. Once I started reading, I could not stop. It is very well written and it is easy to read. Very enjoyable. I hope the author has more books very soon. I would recommend this to anyone!" - Verified Amazon Customer ★★★★★ "Love Colt Valentine! Colt Valentine is the next great urban fantasy anti-hero in the vein of Harry Dresden, Owen Zastava Pitt, Remy Chandler, Alex Verus, and Atticus O'Sullivan. I read a lot of fantasy and this one is definitely worth reading." - C. Sant ★★★★★ "One of my top 10 favorite books! This was my first urban fantasy book in which the lawyer is the hero. And what a lawyer! Colt is one witty smartass. He has a remark to everything, a really snarky but funny one so I caught myself laughing out loud when he said something like that. There are other characters in the book as well like a goofy-but-in-a-funny-way investigator Wilson, a computer geek called Joycee and a, who knows how years old, vampire called Sinn. I love even her name because it suits her so much. I hope to get to know her more in future books." - A. Szabó ★★★★★
