Summary

In the harsh confines of a Texas prison, Bodhi—a former EMT convicted of manslaughter—has just days remaining on his sentence when violence erupts around him. After his cellmate is brutally attacked, Bodhi finds himself caught in a deadly power struggle between prison gangs, corrupt guards, and something far more sinister: a satanic cult calling themselves Las Hermanas Del Muerte.
 
When Bodhi's new cellmate, an Irish priest named Caedmon Murphy, is stabbed while defending him, Bodhi is forced to confront not only the physical threats surrounding him but also his own spiritual emptiness. As supernatural forces manifest within the prison walls, Bodhi discovers he's been chosen for a purpose beyond mere survival.
 
Released into a world where his enemies still hunt him, Bodhi joins forces with a motorcycle club offering him sanctuary. But the cult's reach extends beyond prison walls, and soon he's fighting not just for his own redemption but to save innocent lives from darkness.
 
With time running out and enemies closing in, Bodhi must decide if he's willing to embrace a calling that demands everything of him—including faith in a God he's never believed in. His journey from guilt to redemption becomes a brutal battle for his soul and the souls of those he's sworn to protect.

    When Neo-Viking terrorists invade the British Museum in London to reclaim the staff of Skara Brae, ARKANE agent Morgan Sierra is trapped in the building along with hostages under mortal threat. 
    As the slaughter begins, Morgan helps museum researcher and reluctant psychic, Blake Daniel, to discern the past of the staff through the mists of time to the Viking invasion generations ago.Can Morgan and Blake uncover the truth before Ragnarok is unleashed, consuming all in its wake? 
    Day of the Vikings is a fast-paced, action-adventure thriller set in the British Museum, the British Library and the islands of Orkney, Lindisfarne and Iona. Set in the present day, it resonates with the history and myth of the Vikings. 
    The story features Morgan Sierra from the ARKANE thrillers, and Blake Daniel from the London Crime Thrillers, but it is also a stand-alone novella that can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone.
