FROM AMAZON: 1720. Escaping the gallows, Anne Bonney, the infamous pirate queen, sets sail in search of a fabulous treasure said to behiding in a lost city of bones somewhere in the heart of Africa. But what she finds is a destiny she never expected . . . .

1870. Maude Stapleton is a respectable widow raising a daughter on her own. Few know, however, that Maude belongs to an ancient order of assassins, the Daughters of Lilith, and heir to the legacy of Anne Bonney, whose swashbuckling exploits blazed a trail that Maude must now follow―if she ever wants to see her kidnapped daughter again!

Searching for her missing child, come hell or high water, Maude finds herself caught in the middle of a secret war between the Daughters of Lilith and their ancestral enemies, the monstrous Sons of Typhon, inhuman creatures spawned by primordial darkness, she embarks on a perilous voyage that will ultimately lead her to the long-lost secret of Anne Bonney―and the Father of All Monsters.

The Queen of Swords
(Golgotha #3)
by R.S. Belcher
This is book three in the series and I suggest reading them in order. This book is more about Maude and not about the citizens of Golgotha. Maude goes to Charleston to try and get her daughter back from her father. The Sons, the evil nightmare creatures, and the Daughters, who think they are going to save the world, both want to get Mayer's daughter. It's a wild ride!
Through all of this, the book bounces back and forth between Maude and her great grandmother Anne Bonny who taught her the ways to be a Daughter of Lilith. Sometimes time seems to overlap! Awesome! Great adventure, more adventure than horror this book, lots of action and fantastic fantasy!
As great as it was, I can't wait to get back to the characters in Golgotha! ( )
