Today, I’m excited to share the first feature for #FearlessWomen. It’s an excerpt from Death Does Not Bargain by Sherrilyn Kenyon, which releases today.
“Keep a weather eye, Mr. Dupree. People, even beloved brothers, change. Seldom for the better. Usually toward the worst.” Bane glanced over to his younger sister, who’d come back to him after her own death at the hands of Bane’s enemies. “But I know the pain of losing what you hold dearest, and I won’t be depriving you of your family. Just remember the first rule of betrayal.”
That it never comes from the hand of a stranger or enemy. Only the ones you trust can betray you.
Ahh! I actually have not started this series yet, but that bit about betrayal certainly has me interested!

The Deadmen are back…
With DEATH DOESN’T BARGAIN, Kenyon again returns to the pirate ship Sea Witch, where
Captain Devyl Bane, and his undead crew have set sail for eternity, searching for forgiveness and
salvation. Together, they are humanity’s last hope to restore the gates and return the damned to their
hell realms.
Many demons are beginning to break free of their eternal prison and are bent on mankind’s
destruction. The worst of the lot is Vine, determined to claim their lives for taking hers. She will see the
world burn…and has the perfect lure to destroy them all. One of their own.
Kalder Dupree has never known a day of mercy. Born to the cruelest of mer-races, he sacrificed
himself for his crew and is in Vine’s hands. He expects no compassion or rescue.
Yet the young shipmate Cameron Jack is determined to set Kalder free. As a Hellchaser, it’s her
calling, and she cannot allow even a not-so- innocent to be tortured for an act of kindness that spared
her damnation.
To defeat evil, it sometimes takes an even worse evil, and Cameron is willing to do whatever she
must to make this right. If Vine thought she had her hands full before, she hasn’t seen anything nearly as
powerful as Cameron’s resolve.
DEATH DOESN’T BARGAIN delivers a sweeping epic saga sure to appeal to the millions of
Kenyon’s Dark Hunter fans as well as anyone looking for a page-turning and high-paced adventure. It is a
tale of passion and loss, emotions that wound and heal…and ultimate redemption.
