Darius

A Black Dagger Brotherhood Love Story

De: J.R. Ward

Narrado por: Jim Frangione

#1 New York Times bestseller J.R. Ward shares the passionate star-crossed love story of fan favorite, and original member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Darius.

Darius, son of Marklon, isn’t looking for love the night destiny comes to claim him. He’s also not expecting to crash his new car. But when a human woman runs out into the road and he must swerve to avoid killing her...everything goes off course.

Disillusioned by his King’s lack of leadership and the losses in the war against the Lessening Society, Darius finds purpose in protecting a woman he cannot make his own. Love finds a way, however—until the truth of what he is comes out and she leaves him in horror.

Unbeknownst to them both, Anne is carrying his young, a female who is destined to be Queen—and after a tragic reunion, he vows to protect their daughter. Resigned to perpetual sadness, he is determined to serve the memory of his beloved no matter the cost...unless by some miracle, fate sees fit to once again bring them together in this tale that is “full of drama, intrigue, and steamy restraint” (Booklist).

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Jim Frangione returns the listener to the vampire world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Frangione brings edginess to his performance. In the past, before the other vampires found happiness, vampire Darius encountered a human named Anne when he accidentally hit her with his car. His world was changed forever. Frangione expresses the happiness Darius now feels as he comes to realize that Anne is his fated mate. This is in stark contrast to how he feels when he loses her, scenes that Frangione delivers with all of Darius’s grief and anguish. Adding depth to the narration, Darius's butler, Fritz, is given a helpful tone that demonstrates his eagerness to please. Listeners will enjoy this glimpse of Darius’s world."—AudioFile Magazine

JR Ward is the best. The range of emotions I go through reading her books is amazing: from happy to sad to happy to crying my eyes out, it’s crazy but I love those boys in the black dagger brotherhood

Complete

This is a story I didn't know I needed. The brotherhood seems complete now that we have Darius's story. His vision for the brotherhood, and the sacrifices he made. It's complete now.

answers some given

loved it! now I need more answers..
always love these books.. recommend it to anyone

Nice bit of closure for Darius

Do NOT read this as the first book of the series!

There are some serious spoilers in the book about events that happen much later in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. This really should be read in the order they were written after Lover Arisen (book 20)
This book does tell about Darius who was pivotal in bringing this age of the Brotherhood together. It fills in the gaps and gives us details about Darius and Anne and a bit about Beth.
This is not my favorite of the books , and there's not really much new in the storyline that e haven't seen in the others, but it does wrap up some loose ends nicely.

Finally!!

Finally we received the backstory that we’ve all been waiting for. It does not disappoint!

It left me with goosebumps!!!!

This is one of JR Ward's best novels in her 🗡 series! I loved every bit of this story, especially the end. I'm a sucker for the fairytale ending. What a beautiful, intense, sexy, and heartfelt story. I'm so happy I purchased this! I will forever be Ward's fan! She inspired me to write my own novels. ❣️
And now for the narration. All I can say to Jim Frangione is BRAVO 👏 Loved every word!
If you love vampire stories with beautiful, addictive, kick-ass characters, and damn good storytelling... this is the one for you!

Just perfect

The tears and smiles did not stop. Just wonderful. What we were all waiting for.

Darius

I love to know more about Darius, and his mate, the mother of his daughter Beth. My favorite moment was when Beth realized that her father was always watching over her and that she could hear his voice through John Matthew.

One of the best books!

This book was amazing!! I love the current books but this one reminded me why I fell in love with the series. I always wondered about Darius. Now we kind of know. His life seemed to be the most realistic to me. Not everyone gets the happy ending. So many things don't work out as you hoped for. It was nice to hear about the brotherhood before they all came together. Even hearing about the lessening society was interesting. Overall a really good experience. Oh, and Jim was at his best with his reading. Can't imagine anyone else reading these fantastic books!!

Thanks for the backstory

I couldn't stop listening! Loved it even through the tears. Getting answers to the story of Darius was truely eye opening and heart breaking. Thanks
