• By: J. R. Ward

The New York Times best-selling Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward continues as the royal bloodline is compromised by a serious threat to the throne.

Long live the king…

After turning his back on the throne for centuries, Wrath, son of Wrath, has finally inherited his father’s throne – with the help of his beloved mate. But the crown rested heavily on his head. As the battle with the Mitigation Society rages on and the threat from the Band of Bastards emerges, he is forced to make choices that put everything – and everyone – at risk.

Beth Randall thinks she knows what she’s doing when it comes to mating the last purebred vampire on the planet: An easy ride, doesn’t it. But when she decided she wanted children, she wasn’t prepared for Wrath’s reaction – or the distance it created between them.

The question is, will true love win… or will the tortured legacy take over?

Plain and simple I loved this book! It’s everything you’ve come to expect from a JR Ward BDB book. I’m amazed after 12 installments I still find these characters interesting and enjoyable. (unlike other vamp series) Kudos to the brilliant author and fantastic narrator. Keep ’em coming!!
