Deadmen Walking | Sherrilyn McQueen
Deadmen Walking Deadman’s Cross™, Hellchasers™, Sea Wolves™ Original Publication Date: May 09, 2017
Hell hath no fury as a demon caged . . . To catch evil, takes evil.
Enter Devyl Bane—an ancient warlord who has absolutely no love of humanity. Yet to return to the human realm as one of the most notorious pirates in the Spanish Main for the sake of vengeance, he makes a bitter bargain with Thorn—an immortal Hellchaser charged with battling the worst monsters the ancient gods ever released into our world. Monsters and demons Bane himself once commanded against Thorn and the humans.
For eons, those demons have been locked behind enchanted gates…which are starting to buckle. Now, Bane, with a vicious crew of Deadmen at his command, is humanity’s last hope to restore the gates and return the damned to their eternal prisons.
But things are never so simple. And one of his biggest vexations, aside from keeping his crew from killing each other before they have a chance to save humanity, is the very ship he sails upon. For Mara, the Sea Witch isn’t just a vessel, she’s also a woman born of an ancient race Bane helped to destroy. And sister to the possessed creature who is one of the worst of those trying to break through to claim his soul, and retake the world.
Mara’s innate hatred of him makes the very fires of hell look like a sauna—not that he blames her. Centuries of war and betrayal divide them. But if Mara can’t find the humanity inside the Devyl and the Devyl can’t teach Mara to embrace her darker side for the good of their crew and the world, the two of them will go down in flames and take us all with them.
Join Captain Bane and his crew of Deadmen as they hold the line against the damned who prey on those who sail the high seas.

Close In the Year of Our Lord, 1716 Jamaica
“Way I hear tell it that one’s so bad, he whups his own arse thrice a week.”
Eyes wide, Cameron Amelia Jack burst out laughing at the unexpected comment she overheard above the raucous tavern voices and music. Until she caught sight of who it was directed toward. That sobered her quick.
Holy mother of God . . .
There was no way to miss that giant mass of human male as he swept into the crowded room like the living embodiment of some ancient hero.
No, not a hero.
A pagan god.
At least six and a half feet tall, he towered over everyone else there, and had a shoulder width so great, he was forced to turn to the side to come through the doorway and stoop down lest he decapitate himself. A feat he accomplished with a masculine grace and swagger that said he’d done it enough that it was habit from years of experience.
Which made her wonder how many times as a boy he must have whacked his head afore he learned to duck like that.
With a quick swipe of his massive hand, he removed his black tricorne hat and tucked it beneath his arm, exposing a thick mane of unbound, wavy sable hair that gleamed in the dull candlelight. He held a set of rugged features that appeared chiseled from stone— in perfect masculine proportions.
Never in her life had she beheld his equal in form, strength or grace, but it wasn’t just the unexpected sight of him. He possessed that raw, commanding presence that was unrivaled by king or commander. An air of noble refinement that was offset with an aura of bloodthirsty intolerance, cool indifference and utter ennui.
He was lethal. No doubt. Beguiling. More than that, he was an enigmatic study of warring contradictions that quickened her heart a lot more than she wanted to admit to anyone, especially herself.
In a festering den of inhospitable inequity and evil, this man reigned as its supreme emperor. And while his two companions were dressed in brightly colored brocades— like the other vain occupants of the room, he wore a somber black wool coat, and breeches with plain brass buttons and an unremarkable, dark brown waistcoat. Even his cotton shirt and neckerchief were as black as his hair and boots. The only color on his body was the blood-red hilt of barbarian-styled cutlass. And a flashing ruby signet ring on his pinky that caught in the light.
But for his fierce swagger, deadly demeanor, and the firm hand that stayed planted on the hilt of that sword, he could easily pass for a respectable man. Nobleman even.
Until one met that cold, dark, intelligent gaze that saw everything around him to the most microscopic detail.
She could literally feel him tallying the strengths of everyone in the tavern and sizing them up for their every weakness of character and physical flaw . . .
As well as their casket.
He was exactly the kind of unnerving male that caused her and Lettice to draw straws on his entrance back home in Black Swan to see which of them would be stuck for the night waiting on his table.
And Cameron always cheated to make sure she wasn’t the one left with it. Something that would bother her conscience a lot more but for the fact that it was Lettice’s father who owned the Swan, and while Nathaniel Harrison would guard his daughter’s reputation and well-being, he wasn’t nearly as circumspect with hers. Especially when placed against his need for profit. He’d sell all but his daughter for that.
Even his own mother, and probably his wife.
Not wanting to think about that, she scowled at the men flanking the newcomer. His companions were much more the typical pirate or privateer fare one would expect to find in such a sordid place. The one to his right had a mane long brown hair, he wore tied back in an impeccable queue, well-trimmed beard and eyes so light and merry a blue, they glowed in the dim light. Each of that man’s fingers held an ornate ring— no doubt plunder from some unwary ship he’d raided. Still, he seemed amicable enough.
While many Caribbean pirates had a tendency to pierce their earlobes, this one had chosen to place a small gold hoop in his left eyebrow, just off its arch. His elaborate burgundy and black coat was widely cut at the waist— in the latest fashion craze. And where the beguiling and dangerous captain had chosen a plain black neckerchief to wear, this pirate’s cravat was stark white silk, and trimmed in layers of decadent lace.
The man on the left was dressed in a peacock blue silk coat that covered an insanely ornate gold waistcoat. One so fine a silk that it shimmered in the light like water. He wore a small white wig that concealed his hair color, but judging from his skin tone, dark eyebrows, and the careless whiskers that dusted his well-sculpted cheeks and jaw line, she’d assume his hair was as dark as his captain’s. Yet where the captain had a set of coal black eyes, his were a deep shade of hazel blue.
While his mood and countenance wasn’t as dark and sinister as his captain’s, it was nowhere near as jovial as their companion’s, either. She’d guess him as the quartermaster.
Or a hangman.
The three of them swept past her without so much as a glance in her general direction, letting her know they saw her as no threat whatsoever— which was fine by her, while they made their way to the back of the tavern to an empty table. The large, burly guard who’d been keeping it reserved for them inclined his head, then went to fetch their drinks.
Something he returned with so quickly, that it no doubt set a speed record for the inn. From her years of working in such an establishment, she knew it said much about his fear of angering the three newcomers, and even more about their temperaments and personalities. These men did not like to be kept waiting, nor did they want to be interrupted once settled.
For the first time, Cameron’s courage faltered as she watched the men begin a private and intense whispered conversation.
What are you doing, Cam?
This was what she’d come for— to speak to Captain Devyl Bane and enlist his aid.
Maybe it’s not him.
She knew better. He was just as he’d been described. Darker than sin and more dangerous than dancing with the devil’s favored handmaiden. There was no one else it could be. The witch-woman had told her to look for a captain who’d take her breath and leave no doubt in her mind that he was the bane of the devil himself.
That definitely described the man in the center of the other two.
No one could be deadlier or more sinister.
“Greetings, governor. You be wanting some company, like?”
Cameron winced as an attractive prostitute plunked herself down on her lap. Because Cameron was dressed as a man and passing herself off as one so that she could travel unmolested and with ease, the prostitute had no idea she was wasting her time there.
Grinding her teeth, Cameron caught the woman’s hand before it drifted to a part of her body that would scandalize them both. Cameron shook her head sharply.
“What? You mute?” She reached to touch Cameron’s face and smiled wide. “That’s all right, love. Don’t be needing no words for what I do best, no ways. Fact is you be getting more your money’s worth if’n we don’t be speaking, no how.”
Cameron caught the woman’s wrist and reminded herself to toughen her voice and lower it an octave. “Not interested, me sweet. You’re not me type.” She cast her gaze meaningfully toward the three men.
The prostitute laughed. “Ah . . . can’t says I blame you there. They each be so fine you can’t help but crave a bite of those backsides and pray for lockjaw.” With another winsome smile, she sighed. “Best of luck to you, mate. Way I hear tell it, though, you don’t got a chance with none of them.”
And with that, she left Cameron’s lap to pursue another, more probable client.
Taking a deep breath, Cameron debated the sanity of seeing this mission through. It was obvious that the three men had no desire to be disturbed.
In fact, they appeared to be arguing.
Heatedly.
This is all kinds of insanity . . .
But Cameron Jack was not a coward.
Maybe a little?
She shushed the voice of reason in her head that told her to run for the door before they gutted her.
Scared and breathless, she forced herself to her feet and crossed the room trying to force a confidence she definitely didn’t feel. Her legs trembled as sweat beaded on her forehead and upper lip. You can do this. Don’t you dare back out now. Patrick needs you. You’re all he has in this world . . .
The moment she neared them, they fell silent and all three pairs of eyes pierced her with a malevolent glare she was sure had turned lesser beings into stone. Or at the very least, caused them to soil their breeches.
Captain Bane took a drink of his ale before he spoke in a voice so deep, it rolled out like thunder over a dark, stormy cove. “Can I help you?”
She took a nervous step forward.
The brown-haired man pulled his sword and angled it at her neck. “That be close enough, lad. Declare yourself.”
She cleared her throat and met the captain’s gaze levelly. “I was told that you’re Captain Bane?”
Without confirming it, the one she was sure was he brushed his thumb over his bottom lip. “Why do you seek the good captain?”
“I was told that he . . . or you, rather, were part of the salvage for the Plate Fleet that went down?”
His mate stood and, with his sword, forced her to step back. “We know nothing of what you speak.”
Too late, she realized that they probably mistook her for some of the king’s pirate hunters who’d been tasked with going after the raiders on the sunken ships and their cargos. “It’s not what you’re thinking. Me brother was on one of the ships.”
Bane reached out to force the point of his companion’s sword toward the floor. “And?”
“I was told he went down with his ship.” She choked on her tears. “Please. I have to know the truth.”
The wigged man spoke with a degree of sympathy in his voice. “Only one ship made it out.”
“Aye,” she whispered. “The Griffon. He wasn’t on that one. His ship was the San Miguel. He was the captain of it . . . Patrick Jack.”
Bane’s gaze softened. “Sorry. The captain didn’t make it out.”
As they began to ignore her, Cameron stepped forward again. “If what you say is true, then can you explain this to me.” She tossed the bit of salvage that had been delivered to her door with a note from her brother.
It skidded across the table to land beneath the candle in front of Bane.
He and his companions froze for a full minute as she held her breath, waiting.
It was a worthless trinket that made no sense whatsoever. A strange bit of a charm designed in the shape of an ornate cup, with a pair of wings rising over the rim and a stake with ribbons that fell from the bottom of it. While it was pretty enough, she had no idea why her brother would have sent such to her. Why he would even bother.
Never mind anyone else. It would be all kinds of cruel were it a hoax.
The captain scowled at the necklace charm, but made no move to touch it. “Is this supposed to mean something to me?”
She shrugged. “No idea.” Slowly, she approached the table and held out the note that had been wrapped and sealed around the item. “This was what he used to hold it and send it to me.”
Bane took the crumpled parchment from her hand and read it. The letter was simple and heartbreaking. One she’d committed to memory.
Cam,
Forgive me for leaving you as I have. Know that me loyalty is with you. Always. Listen not to anyone. Keep your weathered eye to the horizon and this to your bosom. Tell no one that you have it. Not even Lettice. Trust none at your back.
Ever yours,
P.J.
With a gruff countenance, Bane returned it to her. Again without touching her or the necklace charm. “And so what’s the first thing you do with this?” he mocked.
He was right. She’d done exactly what her brother had told her not to do— she’d handed it over to someone she didn’t know. “True, but I have to find me brother.” She turned the letter around and pointed to the top of it. “Note the date. It’s months after they went down and he supposedly drowned by all accounts. Yet if he drowned, how did he send it to me?”
A peculiar light flickered in Bane’s dark eyes. One that made them appear almost red in the candlelight. Surely an optical illusion of some kind. “Who told you to come here?”
A witch-woman named Menyara. She said that you’d be able to help me find me brother.”
He let out a fetid curse under his breath. It was so foul and guttural that it caused the man on his left to snap to his feet and step away from him, as if fearing an imminent attack of some sort from his captain.
“Who’s Menyara?” the man asked.
A tic started in Bane’s jaw. “Don’t ask questions you don’t want answered, Will. And pray to your God that you never meet that bitch.” With a dark, deadly grimace, he finally took her trinket into his hand to examine it more closely.
His expression unreadable, Bane met her gaze. “Did she see this?”
“Nay. Only the letter.”
“Why did you show it to me, then?”
“I . . . I’m not sure.”
He flipped the trinket through his fingers several times while Will slowly returned to his seat.
“What are you thinking, Captain?” the one in the wig asked.
“All kinds of folly.” He paused to meet the man’s curious gaze. “I commend her to you, Bart. Take her to the ship.”
“Beg pardon?” He scowled fiercely. “What she be this?”
The captain screwed his face up at him. “Are you dafter than a doornail, son? Our little Cameron Jack here be a lass as sure as I be your devil’s bastard seed.”
Both of his companions gaped at him, then her.
And she returned their slack-jawed stares without blinking or flinching. “How did you know that?” No one could ever tell she was female whenever she disguised herself as a lad. It was a ploy she’d been using ever since her parents had orphaned them when she was a small girl. A ruse Patrick had insisted on to keep her safe from harm, and under his nose so that he could watch after her.
Bane scoffed as he reached for his ale. “Never try to fool the devil, love. I can see right through you. Besides, no man has an ass that fine. If he did, he’d serve to be changing my religion on things.” He took a deep drink, then inclined his head to his companion. “See her to the ship.”
Bart hesitated. “Are you sure about that?”
“Aye and settle her in private quarters for now. Make sure the others know to leave her in peace or face my full wrath.”
Bart saluted him. “Aye, sir.”
“And Mr. Meers?”
He paused to look back with an arched brow.
“I expect on my arrival to the ship to find the lass as virginal after parting your company as she is on leaving mine right now.”
Bart let out an irritated growl. “I hate you, Bane. You live only to suck all the joy out of me death, don’t you?”
He snorted. “Pray that joy is the only thing I ever strive to divest from you, my friend. The day I seek greater entertainment than that is the day you should live in absolute terror of.”
“Duly noted and me testicles have adequately shriveled back into me body so as to pose positively no threat whatsoever to the fair maiden in boy’s clothing.”
“Good man.”
“Eunuch, you mean.”
“And well you should remain lest I make that condition a permanent one.”
“Aye, aye, Captain.”
Devyl sat back to watch them leave, then cut his gaze toward his quartermaster. “What?” he snapped at Will.
“As I value me own testicles . . . not saying a single word, Captain. Just sitting here, nursing me rum.” He held it up pointedly before he took a swig.
Devyl snorted at him. “Hope you find more courage than that for the task we have ahead of us.”
“No fear there. Have more than me fair share. But you forget that I’ve seen you in a fight. And I’m neither fool, nor drunk enough to think I can take you. Besides, you cheat and bite.”
Those words pulled a rare laugh from Devyl. It was one of the reasons why he’d chosen Will as his quartermaster. Unlike the rest of his crew, Will was unflappable and bolder than he should be. He maintained his composure, good-nature, and calm rationale under even the most harrowing of events. And he did so with a biting sense of sarcasm and gallows humor.
More than that, Will was as courageous as stated. Courage mitigated only by a sound ability to reason and measure the merits of confrontation.
Aye, William Death was one of the best men Devyl had ever fought with. It would be an honor to die by his side instead of the way Devyl had been gutted before . . .
“Permission to speak freely, Captain?”
Crossing his arms over his chest, he leaned back to pin a sinister glare on Will. “If you’ve the backbone for it. Go on . . .”
“Just wondering what mind you have to be bringing a human on board our bewitched ship.”
“Did you get a look at what her brother sent her?”
“The meaningless bauble?”
Devyl scoffed. “And you’re the one who claims to be the faithful religious man between us.”
“Meaning?”
“That bauble as you claim it, Mr. Death—”
“Deeth,” Will corrected under his breath. It was ever his pet peeve that they pronounce his name with a long e as opposed to the way it was spelled. Though why his ancestor had chosen to be so antagonistic with either the spelling or pronunciation was anyone’s guess.
“Death,” Devyl repeated incorrectly as he was ever a cantankerous bastard. “Is from the sword of St. Michael.”
“Which one?”
He reached to flip at the silver medallion that hung off a leather cord Will had wound about his left wrist. “That winged bastard creature you believe protects and watches over you.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Neither do I. But until I do, I thought it prudent to put her under our guard lest something foul decide to make her its next supper.”
“And if that something foul proves to be a member of our crew?”
Devyl allowed his eyes to flash to their natural red state. “They would have a bad day, indeed. . . . My mood, however, would be vastly improved by their act of blatant stupidity that would result in my natural retaliatory act of extreme and unholy violence.”
And speaking of . . .
The hairs on the back of his neck rose as he felt the hand of unsavory evil prowling toward the tavern.
Scowling, Will glanced about. “Do you feel that?”
“Aye. It’s come ashore as I said it would.” And headed for the largest gathering of victims . . . just as Devyl had also predicted.
Meanwhile, the humans in the tavern went on, oblivious to the malignant force that was headed for them.
Devyl rose, intending to keep them in their ignorance. But he only made it halfway to the door before it opened and three plat-eyes came in, wearing the skin of regular sailors.
Will pulled up short behind him. “Sailors from the downed fleet?” he whispered in Devyl’s ear.
Devyl gave a subtle nod as he debated how best to deal with the unholy bastards who were here to feast on the innocent and take their souls back to feed their mistress. Part of being a bound hellchaser was to let no one know that neither he nor Will had come to battle these demons.
Unfortunately, the plat-eyes didn’t have a Code they were tied to. They passed an evil grin to one another, then went on a vicious attack that resulted in the three humans closest to them being ripped to shreds.
Utter chaos exploded as the humans sought cover and escape.
Devyl cursed as he was forced against the wall by the tidal wave of terrified humans who were hysterical over being trapped inside by inhuman predators. With their preternatural abilities, the plat-eyes had sealed the door so that no one could flee them.
They thought to feast tonight.
Groaning and shoving at a drunken male who was trying to reach a window, Will made it back to his side. “What do we do? I can’t get near them for the crowd.”
Devyl pulled his coat off with a flourish, then handed it to his quartermaster. “Have I ever said how much I detest the sound of screaming humanity?”
“Really? Rumor has it, it was once your most cherished melody.”
Hitting the release for his sling bow, Devyl passed an annoyed grimace to him. “No, the sweetest music to my ears has always been the death gurgle of an enemy slain at my feet as he gasps his last breath.” Completely calm, he loaded the small bolt and released it straight into the skull of the nearest plat-eye.
The beast fell back and exploded into a black cloud.
Stunned, the other two turned to gape at Devyl. Then, they must have realized who and what they faced.
Their eyes widened in unison before they shifted into wolf form and ran for the door.
But Devyl’s power was greater than theirs and he held them inside.
Will grinned. “That got their attention, Captain.”
As soon as the plat-eyes realized they couldn’t escape, they shifted into their true hideous demonic bodies. And then they split apart into three more to attack.
Will cursed. “Vulnerable spot?”
“Between the eyes. Decapitation.” Devyl caught the first one to reach him and twisted his head off. “But it won’t kill them.”
“Pardon?” Will visibly paled.
He took out two more before he turned to face the man. “Creatures of vengeance and lap-dogs. These are shadow manifestations.” He caught a third one with his knife and drove it straight through its skull. “To kill them for good, we have to find the bodies they assumed when they entered this realm and destroy them.”
Will growled before he drew his sword and dispatched the one that came at his back. “I hate me job, Captain.”
Devyl finished off the last, then quickly spread the yew, salt and ground jasper compound over the doorframe that would keep more plat-eyes from coming inside to prey here again.
Will retrieved Devyl’s coat and quickly joined him as the crowd began to realize the danger had passed. Now, they wanted answers neither of them were at liberty to give. And before the crowd could compose themselves further, Devyl and Will made a fast exit.
Outside the tavern, the moon had turned an eerie, blood-red and clouds hung thick in the sky, making it even darker.
Handing the coat to Devyl, Will grimaced. “So those are not the beasts we seek either?”
Devyl shook his head as he shrugged his coat on. “They’re merely servants.”
He winced. “In our last few months together, I have seen unbelievable things that appear to have been spat out of hell itself. And I can’t help but wonder just what exactly does the Carian Gate hold back from this world, if we haven’t seen it yet?”
Fastening his cuff, Devyl met his worried stare with a knowing smirk. “The most corrupt, horrifying evil that ever gurgled up from the farting arse of the cosmos.”
“Lucifer?”
He snorted and clapped Will on the back. “We should be so lucky. No, Mr. Death . . . what’s coming up from the sea makes Lucifer look like a petulant, harmless child.”
Will crossed himself. “What exactly is it, then?”
Devyl sobered at the memory as a wave of bitterness and fury washed over him and burned him to the core of his blackened and withered soul. “In short . . . my ex-wife.”
Close Chapt 5 Devyl stood on deck with his telescope, eyeing the approaching ship while Thorn moved in to rest just behind him. Something the demon knew made the hairs on Devyl’s neck rise— along with his hackles. He’d never been one to stomach a friend at his back.
Never mind a former enemy who’d once lifted his sword in battle against him.
Though allies they might be today, it still didn’t erase the years they’d fought viciously to destroy one other. Nor did it lend itself to the formation of any kind of trusting bond between them.
It never would.
Devyl used his powers to check the Sea Witch’s defenses. Cannons had been rolled into position and stood ready to rain down iron hell on the approaching pirates. To keep his crew from spooking, he lifted his telescope to survey the sloop that was gaining on them, even though he didn’t really need it to inspect them.
With or without it, he’d have been able to catch the name of the ship that was painted next to the green mermaid figurehead.
Soucouyant.
“Avast!” he ordered Will. There was no need to blast this particular group of pirates.
At least not quite yet.
Confused, William arched a disbelieving brow, but passed the order along without hesitation. Though it was obvious the man didn’t quite agree with it.
Devyl’s hesitation proved to be prudent when one of the Soucouyant’s crew waved a white flag of truce over his head at the same time they lowered Captain Cross’s red jack and replaced it with a plain white flag for parlay.
Not quite trusting Rafael and his crew as pirates weren’t exactly known for their honest ways, Devyl kept his men in position then tapped his powers again to determine the Soucouyant’s threat level. He didn’t pick up any treachery. They had yet to roll their cannons into place.
But then, one never knew for sure and he wasn’t about to risk his ship or crew for any reason.
Glancing at Thorn over his shoulder, he caught the older demon’s eye. “What do you think?”
“That Santiago knows you too well to try it.”
Thorn was right about that. Firing on the Sea Witch never ended well for anyone. “Hoist the truce back, Mr. Death! Stay your positions.”
And if the pirates tried anything, he’d be feasting on more than demon blood tonight.
The thought brought a rare smile to his lips.
Please try something.
True to his nature, the Soucouyant’s captain, Rafael Santiago came forward to stand on top of the rail until they’d pulled up close enough that he could swing from his deck to Devyl’s.
The moment Rafael’s black boots touched their boards, Bart and Zumari flanked him. He laughed at their threatening bluster and clapped them each in turn on the back as they brought him closer to Devyl.
Even in height to Zumari, Rafael was broad-shouldered and well muscled. His dark skin was covered with scrolling tattoos on both arms, his neck and even his shaved head.
Devyl was one of the few who knew the true origins of Captain Cross or Rafael Christoph Santiago as he’d been named at birth. The son of Masika, a freed Ethiopian slave, and a “merchant” father, Cristóbal Cruz Gabriel Santiago, Rafe had learned the buccaneer trade aboard Captain Cris Cruz’s pirate ship at the loving hand of his beloved father. And much to his mother’s horror, it was a proud family tradition he carried on in spite of law and common sense.
Fearless and bold in the manner of any second generation pirate, Rafe ignored his escorts and approached Devyl. “I knew the red jack would work to slow you down.” He winked. “You haven’t changed a bit.”
Snorting, Devyl crossed his arms over his chest. “Hell of a gamble you made.”
“That’s what life’s all about, my friend. No risk. No reward.”
Devyl shook his head at the ever jovial marauder who had more bullocks than brains. “So what brought you on this suicidal quest?”
“Heard you were in these waters. Been looking for you for days now. You’re a hard crew to find.” He flashed another grin at Devyl and William. “Anyway, took something a sennight ago . . . Am thinking you need to see it, Devyl. It’s got your Belle written all over it. We could definitely use her expertise on this bit of cargo. And yours.”
Even more curious, he passed a questioning brow to Thorn. “Want to join us for this inspection?”
“Why not? I’m here. Better than nursing uncertainty.”
Now it was Rafe’s turn to appear perplexed.
“Rafael Santiago, may I present Thorn?” Devyl stepped back so that Thorn could offer his hand to the pirate legend.
“Friend?” Rafe asked.
“More like brethren.” The snide smirk on Thorn’s face made Devyl want to knock the expression into oblivion. Especially since the bastard was currently in possession of his soul and held full control over him— two things that rankled every last bit of Devyl’s core.
Brethren, my ass. More like pox or plague on his private anatomy.
Rafe shook Thorn’s hand and stepped back. “No surname? Or is Thorn it?”
“Thorn is all anyone needs to know about me.”
“As in thorn up all our collective nether regions,” Devyl muttered.
Rafe laughed. “Understood.” He gestured toward his ship. “Gentlemen, after you.”
Devyl snorted at the invitation that could still be a trap. “I’ll pull the rear.”
Rafael gave him an exaggerated innocent stare. “What? Don’t you trust me?”
“After you took a shot at me outside that tavern last time? Nay. But don’t take it personally. I never trusted my own mother, either.”
“‘Twas a drunken misfire. How many times do I have to tell you that?”
“Until I believe it, which will be never.”
Thorn shook his head and sighed before he swung himself over to Rafe’s ship. He sent the line back for Rafe, who followed suit.
Refusing to have his hands that far away from his weapons, Devyl ignored the line when Rafe slung it to him and jumped from his ship to Rafe’s. Something that caused an echoing gasp and ripple of stunned awe to run through Rafe’s pirate crew. And Devyl’s. Especially as he rose slowly from the crouch like the predator he was and swept a weathered eye around the entire group to make sure that if there was treachery in their hearts, they rethought it fast.
Rafe snorted with an amused smirk on his handsome face. “Always one for a grand entrance, eh mate?”
“Benefits of a heartless reputation, and quick sword arm.”
Thorn laughed at Devyl’s surly tone as he crossed the deck to stand by his side. Though he’d never admit it aloud, he actually held a lot of respect and affinity for the giant beast of a warrior. “Heartless for you is a step up, my brother.”
And yet there had been a time in his past when Thorn would have slit his own mother’s throat to have commanded a general as cold-blooded and ruthless as Devyl Bane. Even a warrior with half the demon’s incomparable skill-set in battle. It was a good thing the boy hadn’t been born until long after Thorn had turned on his father, and abandoned his cause for a far more noble and kinder goal.
As united warlords, they’d have brought this world to its bloody knees and ruled every part of Terra Firma. In retrospect, a terrifying thought. So thank God, Bane had been born centuries later and none of Thorn’s original generals had been this fierce or capable.
“So what’s this about, Santiago?” Devyl asked.
Rafe motioned for them to follow him below deck.
Wary and highly suspicious, Devyl cast another jaundiced gaze around the ship and its crew before he climbed down with Thorn right behind him.
Irritating bastard that he was.
It only took a moment for Devyl’s eyes to adjust to the darkness. But the scent down here was unmistakable.
Unique and revolting to any beast who was familiar with it.
Like dried musk, mixed with something soured. It sent a chill down his spine. He instinctively moved his hand to his sword and prepared to confront something that should be dead and buried.
Rafe lit a lantern. “At first, we thought it a jumbie.”
“It is a jumbie.” Only this one didn’t live in a silk cotton tree.
It was a Blackthorn. One of the deadliest of its breed.
“Dón-Dueli . . .” The creature’s voice was low and husky, and filled with malevolence. “Free me, my lord, and I will serve you again.”
He felt his eyes begin to turn. Something verified by the crew that scrambled madly for the ladders to escape being below deck with him.
Only Rafe held his ground. “Should I ask about that?” He jutted his chin toward Devyl’s eyes.
“Not really.” Devyl paused to glance around. “Did you find anyone around it?” He inclined his head toward the demon in the cage.
“Nay. We discovered her on a ghost ship. No one was on board and no traces of the crew remained. Not even a bone fragment. We assumed they’d abandoned ship to escape her.”
They’d most likely been eaten before they had a chance to flee. Devyl winced at their fate.
“She seemed friendly enough at first. Told us sickness had claimed the others. Then she went for my throat . . . with fangs bared.”
“How did you capture her?”
Rafe pointed to the talisman he wore on a black cord around his neck. “My mother’s protection. When she came for me, my mother’s spell knocked her out. Thank God for that. We bound her here, and haven’t gone near the cage since, except to toss food and water at her.”
Too bad that wasn’t what she needed to sustain her ill-begotten form.
Close December Excerpt “Why do you hate him so?”
“For reasons you’d best be glad you can’t fathom. I’ve seen a side of him that is inconceivable to one of your experience.”
Cameron glanced back to the bed and frowned. “No one is perfect. ‘Tis what me mum always said. When first she met me da, he was hiding from the law. ‘Twas what brought them to America. They’d have hung him in England had they found him. They changed their names and left all they knew to protect him so that they could start fresh.”
“Is there a point to this story?”
“Aye,” Cameron said sharply. “He got his own brother and me mum’s killed during a robbery in London. For that, she hated him. Yet she knew her brother had loved him as his friend and so she didn’t turn him in when he came to hide. As me father used to say we can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. When we refuse to see the truth that lies before us because facing it is too hard. It’s easy to lock your heart with hatred. But only when it’s free will you be able to move forward without pain anchoring you to a past that’s holding you back.”
Grief filled her eyes. “Like you, mum, I’ve lost many what were dear to me. But were I ever lucky enough to find one who could love me, one who looked at me the way the captain stares after you whenever he thinks no one’s watching him . . . that I’d hold onto with a white-knuckled grip.”
And with those words, Cameron left her alone with her Bane.
How Mara wished it were as simple as the girl thought it to be. Unfortunately, Duel had a way of complicating the simplest of matters. He always had.
Her heart heavy, she went to the bed to inspect his injuries. The good news was that he’d heal. But he was rather battered.
Grimacing at the bruises and cuts, she gently pulled his shirt over his head, then used her powers to manifest a towel so that she could dry him off.
Yet as she began to clean and dress his wounds, she became aware of the scars that marred his perfect physique. The roadmap of battles he’d fought. Every part of his body was covered with them. And in her mind, she didn’t see the captain. She saw the barbarian warlord in his black armor who’d ridden at the head of his army.
The bastard leader of the Dumnonii.
As she touched his hand and saw his ring, those thoughts scattered.
Was that . . .
Her heart stopped. It was a harthfret! How had she missed it? In all the years they’d been together, she’d never really looked at his ring. Never once noticed what the vibrant red stone was.
Biting her lip, she reached for it, then hesitated. He’ll kill you.
Aye, he would. But if she had control of him, he wouldn’t be able to harm her. She’d own him completely.
Scared and trembling, she forced herself to pry it loose from his finger.
But the moment it came free, it shot a light through the room. One that blinded her. More than that, it ripped a hole through her emotions as she realized too late that it wasn’t his harthfret.
It was his sister’s.
Suddenly, she was in the past. In the Great Hall of Tintagel where Dón-Dueli’s family had ruled with an iron fist.
“Elf!” he roared as he came through the doors in all his massive glory and sent the hounds and servants scattering for cover. Even the watchmen seemed a bit nervous and in wont of shelter.
The only one who wasn’t afraid was a tiny wisp of a teen girl who sat in a wooden chair near the window, doing needlework. “Would you stop calling me that, already? My name is Elyzabel.”
He’d snorted dismissively. “Why weren’t you in the list to train?”
“I told you why. I’ve no intention of learning swordplay. It’s what I have you for, Duey.”
The growl he let out succeeded in causing the watchmen to withdraw from the room.
She laughed. “You’re scaring the guards again, brother.”
“Too bad I can’t scare you.”
Sighing, she tied off her thread, then bit it in twain. “Well, you need the frustration of dealing with me. Everyone else gives you your way.”
With a grimace that would have cause a sane person to wet themselves, he knelt by the girl’s chair and handed her the cup from the floor. “Why won’t you train?”
She reached to toy with the braid that fell down from his temple. “I’ve no wish to take a life.”
When he opened his mouth to speak, she placed her finger to his lips.
“That is no judgement against you, Duey. I love you more than anything and I always will. But as you know no peace, I want to know no war. Ta gave you no choice in your life or your fate. He forced a sword into your hand as soon as you could walk, and saddled you with responsibility for me and Edyth and our people. Never once have you ever complained of it. I’ve watched you all these years as you’ve grown from a beautiful boy to a handsome man. I couldn’t be prouder of you. And I thank you for the fact that you’ve given me a choice as to my future here with you and with our people. Please don’t take it from me now.”
He took her hand in both of his hand kissed it. “I want you safe, Elf. You’ve no idea what horrors I’ve seen. What happens to the women when their men fail to protect them. The Romans keep advancing on us. I’ve held them off thus far. As well as the Adoni, but should I fall—”
“You will not fall,” she said with a chiding smile. “No one can defeat my brother.”
He brushed his hand tenderly over her scarred knuckles. “What happened to my little Elf who used to climb trees and beat any boy who said she couldn’t run as fast or shoot as well?”
Sadness darkened her eyes before she blinked it away. “Childhood scuffles are vastly different from what you do.”
“You blame me for our parents.” He started to stand.
She held him fast by her side. “I never said that. ‘Tis your guilt driving you, not me. I want to see you happy, Du. You never speak of family or peace. ‘Tis as if you don’t think yourself worthy of either.”
He let out a bitter laugh. “How can I marry and have children when every women, save you, cringes at my approach?”
“Not true. I’ve seen the ones what vie for a place in your bed.”
“And flee the moment we’re done as if terrified I’ll strangle them come morning.”
“Then let them see the side of you that you show to me.”
He glowered at her. “What side is this?”
“Well not that expression. Dagda’s toes, Du, you’d scare grown warriors to their graves.” She used both hands to smooth out the furrows on his brow until she had him smiling. Something that betrayed a set of deep dimples in his cheeks. “There now! That’s what would melt the coldest heart. No woman could ever resist a smile so sweet.”
“Sweet? You’ve gone completely daft.” Standing, he tugged playfully at her braids. It was an action so out of character for Du and yet so completely normal for an older brother that it warmed Mara’s heart.
“In spite of what you think, Duey, you are a kind man. A good man. And fair one, to boot. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.”
He didn’t speak, but the expression on his face was unlike anything Mara had ever seen. It was one of pure affection. “So what do you want?” There was a teasing note beneath those gruff words.
“Pardon?”
“I know you, Elf. You never compliment me unless there’s something you’ve got your heart set upon.”
A blush stained her cheeks. “Who says I want anything?”
He gestured toward her face. “That does. So tell me already.”
Clearing her throat, she reached for more thread and refused to meet his gaze. “I want to marry.”
His eyes flared red.
As if sensing it, she glanced up and tsked at him. “Nay, you cannot disembowel him, brother. He has not laid a finger to me for fear of what you’ll do to him. He’s barely spoken to me.”
“Then how do you know he wishes to marry you?”
She arched a brow. “Am I that intolerable?”
“You know what I mean.”
Smiling, she wrinkled her nose at him. “I do and we have spoken. He’s merely a quiet man. Like you. He wishes to ask you himself, but is terrified of how you’ll react. So I told him I’d approach you first to keep you from lashing out and gutting him before you’ve had a chance to acclimate to the idea of it.”
His nose twitched as if he were holding back a deluge of curses or an outburst. But after a few heartbeats, it settled down to a tic in his cheek. “It’s what you want?”
“It is.”
“I suppose if you change your mind later, I can always kill him then.”
“Du!”
“What?” he asked innocently. “I’m king here. Can do as I please.”
Shaking her head, she laughed. “You’re incorrigible.” Then she sobered and met his gaze. “Have we your permission?”
“Only if he asks me himself. Then I shall give it.”
“Without a gutting?”
“Aye.”
She arched one brow.
Making a sound of supreme annoyance, he flung his hands out. “Fine! No denutting, either. Though that’s being unfairly cruel to me, just so you know.”
She laughed again. “You’ll survive.”
“And he’d best be good to you or else I’ll tear him to pieces.” Duel went over so that he could lean down and kiss the top of her head.
“Love you, Du.”
He growled in response, then stepped away. “Don’t you dare think for one minute that I’ll allow you to move away from here. He’s to move in with us. Final word on that.”
“Whatever you say, dearest.”
“Mean it, Elf. No planting of any rocks will be done. I won’t have it. You keep you know what caged.”
“Aye, brother.”
Mara blinked as the scene faded. She wasn’t sure why the stone had taken her there.
Not until it flashed again and she saw the image that had driven Duel to madness.
part deleted for massive spoiler>
Mara gasped as she saw his sister’s body as he’d found her. Tears blinded her at their cruelty.
No wonder he’d gone insane. Through his sister’s harthfret, she could feel his anguish as he sprang from his horse and called her name. Feel his heart shattering the moment he gathered her frail body into his arms and held her like baby, willing her to open her eyes and live again.
But they’d seen to it that she couldn’t.
Never in her life had she seen anyone so heartbroken. Heard more sorrow as he shouted his misery to the heavens and demanded the gods spare his sister and take his life in her stead.
No one had answered him.
That was the Duel she’d met as he tore her nemeton apart in an effort to find the ones who’d take from him the only person who had ever given him kindness without cruelty. The sole heart he’d held sacred.
“Oh Du,” Mara breathed as she finally saw the truth of him. All he’d ever known was pain.
No one had held him when he’d ached. He’d gone through it all alone. Without friend or family.
With her cursing and damning him every step of the way.
That was why he’d hesitated that day in the forest. Even after they’d done that to his sister, he’d refused to harm her. Because deep down, in spite of her magick, he’d known that she was weaker than him. That she couldn’t defend herself against him any more than his sister had been able to fight off her attackers.
And rather than lay another innocent in her grave, he would have walked away and left her alone.
It’s all my fault.
The truth slapped Mara hard and furiously. Duel wouldn’t have gone after her sisters. He hadn’t been burning the women. It’d been the men he’d attacked.
Why didn’t I see that before? Why hadn’t she seen him before this?
Because she’d been angry and afraid.
Her heart pounding, she sat down on the bunk beside him and returned the ring to his finger. The last thing she’d ever do was separate him from this most precious piece of his sister.
No sooner had she settled it back in place than he took a deep breath and groaned. When he started to thrash about, she placed her hands against his chest. “Easy, Duel. You’re injured. Do you remember what happened?”
With a fierce grimace, he glared at her. “You smacked me in the head with the mast and knocked me to the sprites.”
Leave it to him to remember that part.
“I also saved you from them.”
“You hit me first.” He rubbed his hand across his stomach and winced. “Are you here to finish me off?”
“Nay. I’ve been tending you.”
He scoffed rudely. “Really, why are you here?”
“Answer me one thing. Had I not bound our lives together, what would you have done with me that day?”
Devyl looked away, but she caught his cheek in a gentle grip that seared him all the way to his soul. How cruel it was that the only thing he’d ever craved was a tender touch from her.
Against his will, she turned his head until he was forced to meet her gaze. “I want the truth.”
“I wanted to kill you. When I first saw you, my only thought was that you’d be the perfect revenge for what they’d done. To give back to them exactly what they’d done to my sister. But when I looked into your eyes and saw your fear, I knew I couldn’t do that to you. For I saw no enemy that day. Only a frightened girl who was brave enough to stand when she knew she had no way to defend herself. And it infuriated me that your own had left you there alone to face me while they ran to save their own arses. That was the renewed fury you saw inside me. First, they’d violated and desecrated my blood, then they’d cast you out for what they thought to be the same fate. I wanted them all for that. None of them deserved your loyalty.”
