Publisher's summary
1720. Escaping the gallows, Anne Bonney, the infamous pirate queen, sets sail in search of a fabulous treasure said to be hiding 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, late of Golgotha, Nevada, is a respectable widow raising a daughter on her own. Few know that Maude belongs to an ancient order of assassins, the Daughters of Lilith, and is as well the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Anne Bonney, the legendary female pirate.
Leaving Golgotha in search of her daughter Constance, who has been taken from her, Maude travels to Charleston, South Carolina, only to find herself caught in the middle of a secret war between the Daughters of Lilith and their ancestral enemies, the monstrous Sons of Typhon. To save Constance, whose prophetic gifts are sought by both cults, Maude must follow in the footsteps of Anne Bonney as she embarks on a perilous voyage that will ultimately lead her to a lost city of bones in the heart of Africa — and the Father of All Monsters.

Story
Nevada, 1869: Beyond the pitiless 40-Mile Desert lies Golgotha, a cattle town that hides more than its share of unnatural secrets. The sheriff bears the mark of the noose around his neck; some say he is a dead man whose time has not yet come. His half-human deputy is kin to coyotes. The mayor guards a hoard of mythical treasures. A banker's wife belongs to a secret order of assassins. And a shady saloon owner, whose fingers are in everyone's business, may know more about the town's true origins than he's letting on.

Story
In AD 1119, a group of nine crusaders became known as the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon - a militant monastic order charged with protecting pilgrims and caravans traveling on the roads to and from the Holy Land. In time, the Knights Templar would grow in power and, ultimately, be laid low. But a small offshoot of the Templars endure and have returned to the order's original mission: to defend the roads of the world and guard those who travel on them.

Story
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

This time, the White Throne has sent him to the middle of nowhere: a Western town called Dead Acre with a saloon, a moldy church, and little else worth talking about. There isn’t even a sheriff.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

An ancient order of men seeking to control the art pursue him across the world, through centuries, into madness, and beyond. The first part of Michael B. Koep's the Newirth Mythology The Invasion of Heaven is mystery, adventure, myth, betrayal, murder, and madness. Loche Newirth wonders if it was his fall: The 50-foot drop from the rocky cliff to the icy water below. Is this why he has been hallucinating?

Story
In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

not what was expected
I really enjoyed the first books and greatly anticipated this story. Anne Bonneys story was great and I enjoy the strong female leads , however I was greatly disappointed in the littegation that Maude got mired in. there is a time and a place for history lessons and rubing our collective noses in the sins of our ancestors. the middle of a supernatural adventure is not that place. Do I feel a giant legal battle was necessary for the progress of her story , no. I really feel that that was a form of grand standing that could of been glossed over. I like oranges and mouthwash just not together. I feel for what people suffered through and am horrified that any one would treat another so shamefully. I am seriously scared to purchase the following book in fear of the political views the author will try and force upon us in the storyline. Sad.

Adventure, some horror, terrific!
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!
Terrific narration!

Enjoyed it.
I started listening to these dramatization versions of the audiobook because the regular audiobook was never made past book 1. Overall, I found it pretty good. There was some parts that seemed a little goofy as far as the acting goes, but totally worth listening to. I just wish they hadn't switched up the narrator from the last book to this book.

lots of exposition dump.
not as good as the first two. the audiostyle is well done if you like the audio play thing, but for me is a bit distracting and over the top. the story is a bit slow and not actually in golatha and seems to be written for people who skipped the first two books. there's a lot of exposition for who everyone is over and over again. story was fun a bit of a shallow take on some big issue it was trying to take on, but not bad for a fluffy book. in general a fun popcorn story.
