-Hell On Earth
When the Chthonians brought the primal gods to a truce at the
end of their great war, part of the pact they forged was that the worst of the
evil the gods had unleashed against each other and mankind would be forever
banished.
But forever is a long time. And nothing can contain those
determined to find a way back.
Hell hath no fury as a demon caged . . .

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.

Is this a new series or does it tie in with her other which I've never read? I LOVE the cover and if it's new, it's going on the wishlist. I just don't have the patience to read 20+ books to be able to read this one:) Great choice and I never tire of the cover.
ReplyDeleteThis is apparently the first of a new series but knowing Sherrilyn, it might tie in to the other books somehow.
