Resumen del Editor

The daughter of a legend finds the love of a lifetime in this passionate, heart-wrenching installment in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Nalla, the blooded daughter of Zsadist, has led a sheltered life. Protected by her father and the Brotherhood, kept away from the deadly war with the Lessening Society, she is chafing against the walls of the very safety that has ensured her survival. One night, she gives in to her restlessness…and finds herself face-to-face with a male whose inner darkness rivals even that of her sire’s horrific origins.

Nate is a fighter with nothing to lose—and nothing to live for. Tortured in a human lab as a young, then cursed with immortality, he is all vengeance and no purpose because he cares for no one—not even himself. The Brotherhood knows this all too well and following Nate’s deliberate violation of the cardinal rule in the war, they declare him a dangerous liability that must be dealt with.

When Nalla and Nate find themselves fighting side by side, daggers aren’t the only things that fly. A sizzling attraction is ignited, though Nalla knows her sire will never accept him—and on his side, Nate has made a secret bargain to end his own immortality. As the enemy closes in, and Nalla realizes she must choose between her mate and her sire, what starts with such passion may well end with eternal sorrow and no chance of a reunion—even in the Fade.

It’s BDB

Too short, no surprises like I’m used to with this series. Love the characters as always but just was meh!same story over and over but you love the characters so you want to know.

the duality of time

I enjoy this book very much. I special enjoyed how the story wove how the individual lives affect others' lives. i

Next generation

Love the fact that she is telling the story of the children born in the beginning the next generation I love continuing with the story. Done well smooth transition of characters

Nate and Nalla are a perfect match

This one is so good. It had me hooked from the first chapter. Felt like it did when I first started reading the series. I really enjoyed this one, it's a new favorite for me. I can't wait for the next one.

Great!

The entire series of The Black Dagger Brotherhood is wonderful! I also love all the stories behind each character. Ms. Ward you are my favorite author! Thank You

She's Back!

man oh man! a great story line, bringing everything together. it felt like some of the older books in the series. I couldn't put it down and I already want to read it again.

Overall it's good, but...

Okay, overall it's pretty good and just what you expect from J.R. Ward, but I was slightly disappointed with those damn "Cop Bots". I know The Warden is moving us into the future by a jump of 30-plus years, but I just couldn't get my head to connect with the idea of robot cops, but the world still doesn't know about the vamps or the Wolfen. It just seemed so out of the script for everything else happening with the story, and where-oh-where were the first recruits? If we are moving into the future shouldn't we have Craeg, Paradise, Axe, Novo, and Peyton out on the front line fighting? I was not disappointed with the story but a little taken aback by those cop bots.

I will not give any spoilers on or about Z and his relationship with Nalla. I understood how things were but I was also sad about them. Yes, it's worth a listen and a credit. I love the brotherhood and will continue to follow until the end.

Love this new generation of the BDB

Nala and Nate are perfect together. I cried, I laughed, but thoroughly enjoyed yet another wonderful story from the queen JR Ward.
Sidebar: where was Davina in the whole story? I’m honestly thinking she was the self-help guru in disguise lol

JR Ward and narrator Jim Frangion do not disappoint

Another great story and 22 books later…I still cannot wait for the next one in the series to arrive. JR Ward manages to keep the series alive and interesting. I have enjoyed every book in this series.

Excellent

I've been waiting for this book forever. This family is extraordinary. it's good to know that the BDB is still fighting the good fight.
