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.
