The Chosen have gathered and the battle has begun….

In the two prior books, Kira, the Peacekeeper, gathered her Chosen around her. Her Chosen consists of: Gallegar, her mate and Vampire King, Lucas Kane, a Master shape shifter, Benjamin Cassidy, Sovereign Lord of the Suprahumans, Patrick, leader of the Ethereals, Danolas, High Priest of the Witches, and Koran, Prince of the Faerie Folk.

Brianna Muldoon is a powerful witch, the most powerful witch in Ireland in fact. She has been sent to San Francisco to help with the battle, but sparks fly from the moment she meets Danolas. Brianna longs to be a part of the sense of family that Kira and the Chosen have, but will her own pride get in the way? And will Brianna and Danolas be able to accept the love that is growing between them?

The Peacekeeper Journals only gets better and better with each installment! THE SCEPTRE OF POWER is the third book in this series, following THE JOINING and THE GATES OF LIFE. However, THE SCEPTRE OF POWER can easily be read as a stand alone as CJ England weaves all the necessary back history into the storyline. Brianna is a newcomer to the series, and seeing things through her eyes adds a fresh perspective to the whole concept of the Chosen.

CJ England cranks up the heat in THE SCEPTRE OF POWER, as there are some steamy scenes guaranteed to warm you up on those cold winter nights! The attraction between Brianna and Danolas is sizzling hot as these two stubborn witches are destined for each other. Brianna’s spunky t-shirts and sassy mouth throw a kink into Danolas’ generally calm and collected life, and it is just sheer fun to see the sparks fly between these two!

THE SCEPTRE OF POWER has it all: a super hot romance mixed with a fascinating quest in the midst of the battle between good and evil. Throw in the Alpha Males who make up the Chosen along with two headstrong women to keep them in line, and THE SCEPTRE OF POWER is nothing short of spectacular. CJ England proves yet again that she is one heck of a writer! Keep them coming, Ms. England. We want more!
