#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon debuts a sweeping new epic saga sure to appeal to her millions of fans!
Deadmen tell their tales . . .
To catch evil, it takes evil. Enter Devyl Bane– an ancient dark warlord returned to the human realm as one of the most notorious pirates in the New World. A man of many secrets, Bane makes a pact with Thorn– an immortal charged with securing the worst creations the ancient gods ever released into our world. Those powers have been imprisoned for eons behind enchanted gates . . . gates that are beginning to buckle. At Thorn's behest, Bane takes command of a crew of Deadmen and, together, they are humanity's last hope to restore the gates and return the damned to their hell realms.
But things are never so simple. And one of Bane's biggest problems is the ship they sail upon. For the Sea Witch isn't just a vessel, she's also a woman born of an ancient people he wronged and who in turn wronged him during a centuries long war between their two races— a woman who is also sister to their primary target. Now Marcelina, the Sea Witch, must choose. Either she remains loyal to her evil sister and almost extinct race against Bane and his cause, and watches humanity fall, or she puts faith in an enemy who has already betrayed her. Her people over the totality of humanity— let's hope Bane can sway her favor.
Deadmen Walking is the first historical fantasy title in New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon's Deadman's Cross series. It is a tale of passion and loss, emotions that wound and heal...and ultimate redemption

      Kenyon (Born of Legend) puts the lie to the old adage “Dead men tell no tales” in the jam-packed, appealing first book of her Deadman’s Cross historical fantasy series. In 1716 Jamaica, Devyl Bane is a man of many names: “Captain” to his crew of misbegotten miscreants; “Du” to Marcelina, the woman who literally is his ship; and Don-Dueli, his given name. All of them are monikers for a damned man in charge of a dead crew who are charged with earning redemption by killing demons and protecting the innocent. Cameron Jack finds Devyl in a dockside town and begs him to help her find her brother, Paden, a missing ship’s captain who’s presumed dead; Devyl agrees, beginning an epic adventure to save Paden and keep humankind’s nightmares locked away. Marcelina’s twisted sister, Vine—who’s also Devyl’s ex-wife—is leading the charge against Devyl and his crew; to find Paden, they must find Vine’s hidden, crumbling prison and challenge her growing power. This piratical tale is very heavily front-loaded with worldbuilding information, including a panoply of pantheons, but there’s still room for swashbuckling, death, glory, and just the tiniest hint of romance.

      As an immortal, Thorn (crossing over from Kenyon's "Dark-Hunter" series) guards the worst powers ever created by the old gods, but now the enchanted gates that secure these malevolent forces are collapsing. Thorn commands Devyl Bane, an ancient warlord who has returned to the human world as a notorious pirate captain, to restore order by recapturing these powers and restoring the gates. Unfortunately, the ship he crews with Deadmen is no ordinary vessel; the Sea Witch is also Marcelina, a woman of an ancient race who battled Bane's own, both having wronged the other. Marcelina is also the sister of Vine, Bane's ex-wife and the target for their current expedition. Bane must discover the location of the gates, send Vine back to hell, and save humanity itself. No problem. VERDICT Kenyon's trilogy launch showcases new and familiar faces from her "Dark-Hunters" universe. A crew of dead spirits get a last chance at redemption, and humanity is none the wiser as good and evil clash. Kenyon fans will enjoy this new foray into historical fantasy.
