#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 … 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.

Love the pirates! 🙂
I’m so hooked!!! I enjoyed this book so friggin much,this is one of the best new series I’ve read in forever. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this series,but I was pulled in by Kenyon’s amazing storytelling and her ability to make us root for characters who though they may be damned for their sins are loyal and in the end just looking for redemption. I’m in love with so many of the Deadmen crew Will,roach,Bart,sancha,kalder,belle and Marcellina and captain devyl bane he be a hot sexy Beastie!! I’ve always loved pirates so this was a treat. The only bad thing about this book is……waiting for the next book in this series!!!! 5stars once again for Sherrilyn Kenyon’s AMAZING STORYTELLING!!!!
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
Well, what can I say?!? Just this… Wow! This is the first of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s books that I have read. And… I just loved it! Filled with dramatic and vivid imagery, Deadmen Walking took me on an adventure across the seas! I am not familiar with her previous books, but this new series has some crossover ties with her other series…from what has been mentioned. Well, I guess, I will have to read those books, too. Well, not because I have to, but because I really got wrapped up in this one!
Sherrilyn Kenyon’s writing flows and projects another world to her readers. Her words are engrossing and passionate, especially in describing her characters and their personalities. Not only that, her world building is astounding and realistic! Whoa! The flow of the story took me away onto their journey with them! Seriously! It was very difficult to put the book down! How did I not pick up her books sooner!
She took various fantasy lore, mythology, and history, and wrapped it around a subtle romance that took my breath away! With a little action, adventure, and drama, I got to “sail away” with these characters. Her words are so alive with excitement that it was not difficult to drag me in to Devyl and Mara’s story. Yes! This is their tumultuous romance…haha! How could I not get wrapped up in their emotional and dangerous journey!
Anyways, as with any first book in a series, Deadmen Walking gives readers an introduction to the characters and world they must protect. There is a lot of mystery that revolves around these characters, and as the story progresses, character histories and secrets are told… And a whole other world is shared among the world of the human realm.
Deadmen Walking is an adventurous, dark historical fantasy that is filled with engaging characters and a wondrous fantasy world that will take your breath away!
Fits in nicely with her other series! Great job once again!
It is very obvious that the main couple was supposed to be Devyl and Cameron. Then she changed her mind and decided the enemies bound together for a thousand years should suddenly fall in love, instead. Okay, that would have been fine, if the first half of the book was rewritten.
Sigh. I can’t even with this one.
Long-time fan and friend of Sherrilyn Kenyon. I’m prone to gobbling up every new book of hers.
Great book. Couldn’t put it down.
I love anything Sherrilyn writes!
OK, I love her books. This one really doesn’t do anything for me though. Not as interesting as any of her others, at least not to me.
70 pages in and the female POV is NOT the heroine??? She’s not the romantic interest for the hero? That’s ridiculous.
This new series from Kenyon starts off very rocky. We meet too many characters with too many seemingly unrelated backstories. Yes, building a new world can be a slow process and I wish I could state more specifcally why I think this one misses the mark (my opening concern is part of it, however). What I do know is that it is all so conveluted and disconnected that I could not connect with the characters or finish the book.
Very disappointing.
Deadmen Walking was my first introduction to Sherrilyn Kenyon and I can tell by her popularity that I am very late in the game but better late then never. I really enjoyed this book and its characters. I think I’ve got a new author on my favorites list, and you, Ms. Kenyon, have got an avid new fan.
Loved it!!!
I love Mrs. Kenyon. I love the worlds she creates, the characters and story lines. And this book is no different. Deadmen Walking is a great read.
This author never disappoints. Interesting plot twists and character development in my opinion.
Not her best work but it was ok.
Another great book by Kenyon
Sherrilyn Kenyon has knocked another one out of the ballpark. How she keeps coming up with all of her unique ideas is absolutely amazing to me. She is by far my favorite author and she never disappoints.
Love her writing
I love to read everything from Sherrilyn Kenyon.
I love the take she has on the Greek gods and now she has taken on mores gods to write about. Love how she included info about characters from her pevious series. I hope this series is going to be as long as her other series. New monsters to fight and new powerful gods to wonder about. Losts of sea creatures, Pirates, and Bermuda Triangle.
