Overview

#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

  • Similar to the Dark-Hunter series but different with PIRATES!

    Jennifer V. - 1 year 5 months ago

    As a paranormal romance, this book delivers both in paranormal and in romance, but its not an easy read. That is not to say that the prose is cumbersome or repetitive its not. As an experienced author, Sherrilyn Kenyon knows how to tell an interesting story and keep a readers interest. However, the romance doesnt start until midway through the book with two characters whose only interaction prior to the shift towards romantic feelings is negative and described as an old married couple. Mrs. Kenyon tells more than shows their past even with the flashbacks. Also due to it being the first in a new series the first half of the book follows Cameron Jack around as she (and therefore the reader) is introduced to the world in which the other characters are familiar. She even shows interest (though mildly) in Captain Devyl Bane, the male lead, and confusingly the Captain is protective and reactive to Cameron, but it takes another character, Thorn, to tell the Captain (and therefore the reader) that its only the dark in him (hes a sorta-demon) reacting to the light in her (shes a sorta-angel). However, once the romance is underway between Devyl and Mara, a tree spirit that can merge with the ship theyre sailing on (Get it? Get it? The captains in love with his ship!), its good and believable. When the book nears the end and sacrifices are made I have to admit my eyes got a little misty. I was invested in the characters. And the mythos is plentiful and varied: Deadmen Walking feels like Disneys The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was put into a blender with angels, demons, Norse mythology, Celtic mythology, a little Greco-Roman mythology (it IS a spin-off of Sherrilyns Dark-Hunter series after all), and the very subtle, fleeting mention of a sharktopus. At times it can feel overwhelming because the book is populated with so many non-humans with their own origins and powers that need to be explained. While the book isn't perfect, I would say it is a good book and I would recommend it. I like what I have seen so far and I want to see where the author takes the series.
