This spinoff takes the Dark-Hunter universe back to the high seas during the Golden Age of Piracy. The central character is Devyl Bane, a centuries-old dark warlord who returns to the mortal world as one of the most feared pirates in the New World. He makes a deal with Thorn, an immortal tasked with locking away the worst creations ever unleashed by the ancient gods, and takes command of a crew of Deadmen to help seal the gates that hold back these horrors.

Kenyon originally wrote pirate-themed stories in the 1980s and 1990s, and this trilogy marks her return to that setting with the supernatural elements of the Dark-Hunter world layered in. The books mix swashbuckling adventure with the series’ trademark paranormal romance and dark mythology.
