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?

Fast-paced and gripping, Stone of Fire is a thrilling adventure that weaves together history, archaeology, and the supernatural into a pulse-pounding race against time. Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, James Rollins, and Steve Berry, this action-packed novel will keep you turning pages late into the night.

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. Because the death toll is rising, and there’s no time to wait.

In over her head, in constant danger. Pursued by vicious mercenaries bent on revenge, hunted by assassins willing to do anything for their cause. But 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.

"Anyone who enjoys Dan Brown will want to read this book ( and the rest of the ARKANE series ). I know there are many books appearing in this genre but J.F. Penn REALLY DOES stand out from the crowd. This book is easy to read, it grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until the very last page.

A Hollywood series in the making

I have read these three books before, and just finished them for a second time as I start the whole series. What wonderful imagery and storylines. I could see all the scenes unfolding as if it were a movie. It would be great to watch the movies one day! Fast paced action adventure that’s gender-balanced. Wow!

Ark of Blood

In this exciting thriller, we find Morgan Sierra practically on her own with Jake still in a coma - she is assigned a new partner, but he also gets injured leaving Morgan to fend for herself. Everywhere she turns, she is confronted by Natasha El-Behery who keeps trying to kill her. The final scene is reminiscent, a bit, of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", except here, there were only 2 people present - what a finish!

Crypt of Bone

With a very interesting (and sometimes creepy) cast of characters, this thriller is simply packed with continuous action and surprises - Morgan and Jake keep things interesting, moving quickly and there is certainly some chemistry developing between the two.

A fast-paced series that really draws you in!

I have read nearly all of the Arkane thrillers, and enjoyed them for the pacey writing, the well-drawn characters, and the immensely interesting plot-lines that really draw the reader in. With my interest in history and archaeology, they are among my favourite reads by a modern author.

Five Stars and Adventures

The first book in the Arkane series is adventurous and intense. Morgan and Jake have to find the 12 Pentecost stones before the resurge comet hits. Everett needs the stones to try to heal his brother Michael. Everett has Morgans's sister Faye and Gemme and she needs to get the stones to Everett to save her family. Morgan and Jake had to overcome lots of life-and-death situations. If you enjoy intense and adventure, you will greatly enjoy this series. The adventure continues with Morgan and Jake having to recover the Devil's Bible before it gets into the wrong hands and can cause devastating consequences that can affect the whole world. Milan reads from the pages and the most hideous thing happens and puts Morgan and Jake in a bad and dangerous position. Overall, the book was another great book in the series. Very intense at times and with unexpected outcomes. With Jake still recovering Morgan has to take on the recovery of the Ark by herself. Very intense when she has a run-in with Natasha and her crew when they are trying to recover the Ark pieces also. Morgan was beaten and almost burnt to death, but she managed to survive. But when she caught up with Natasha again and she put all the pieces together the unbelievable happens. The Ark pieces are hopefully safe now but who knows? If you enjoy intense and adventure, you will enjoy this third book in this series. It will keep you reading till the end.

A great series!!

I read these three books in 2020; the comments below are taken from my 5 star reviews for each book:
1 - Stone of Fire: This is my first exposure to Ms. Penn’s writing, and I was pleasantly surprised. I read a variety of genres: mystery thrillers, space opera, some fantasy, post-apocalyptic stories. I read for escape and entertainment, and I’m not too concerned if things are contrived or perhaps violate the laws of physics, like magic, riding dragons, or space travel. I found this to be an easy read: the story flowed smoothly, the characters had some depth and the scenes were portrayed vividly. I got into the story fairly quickly and stayed interested throughout. I enjoyed the blend of history, myth, science and creative license that perhaps made it plausible and entertaining. I recommend this book and want to read more in this series.
2 - Crypt of Bone: I read "Stone of Fire" first, and I’m glad I did. These can be read as stand-alone stories, but the earlier book has the complete history of Dr. Morgan Sierra and how she arrived at the start of book two. Ms. Penn has a knack for blending religion, history, literature, art, science and creative license with current events in an easy-to-read style that pulls you in and keeps you interested. I read for escape and entertainment – I like the James Bond-like close calls, death-defying scenes and super-human recoveries (I read a lot of space opera and fantasy, too). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend that you start with book one. I will be reading more in this series.
3 - Ark of Blood: This is another adventure for Dr. Morgan Sierra, as she must locate the genuine Ark to prevent it from falling into the hands of Natasha el-Behery, a truly evil person. Ms. Penn has obviously done a great deal of research in the religious aspects and myths surrounding the Ark, as well as locational details of the cities in the journey to find it . Then she adds a mix of history, art and science, with a touch of creative license, to present an intriguing tale that I didn’t want to put down. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series so far, and am eager to read the entire series.

Brilliant!

I read Stone of Fire after seeing it on Amazon at a great price. In no time at all I was buying Crypt of Bone and they are both rip roaring reads! I ended up reading the entire Arkane series ,one after another, and then started on some of Jo’s other books. If you’re looking for action and adventure and love a good story then look no further!
