“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.
