Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A scorching forbidden love threatens to tear a rift through the Black Dagger Brotherhood in J. R. Ward’s newest novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Xcor, leader of the Band of Bastards, convicted of treason against the Blind King, is facing a brutal interrogation and torturous death at the hands of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Yet after a life marked by cruelty and evil deeds, he accepts his soldier’s fate, his sole regret the loss of a sacred female who was never his: the Chosen Layla.

Layla alone knows the truth that will save Xcor’s life. But revealing his sacrifice and his hidden heritage will expose them both and destroy everything Layla holds dear—even her role of mother to her precious young. Torn between love and loyalty, she must summon the courage to stand up against the only family she has for the only man she will ever love. Yet even if Xcor is somehow granted a reprieve, he and Layla would have to confront a graver challenge: bridging the chasm that divides their worlds without paving the way for a future of even greater war, desolation, and death.

As a dangerous old enemy returns to Caldwell, and the identity of a new deity is revealed, nothing is certain or safe in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, not even true love . . . or destinies that have long seemed set in stone.

Praise for J. R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series

“Utterly absorbing and deliciously erotic.”—Angela Knight

“To die for . . . I love this series!”—Suzanne Brockmann.

Xcor is in the hands of the BDB. The Chosen Layla has important info that could save his life. The Band of Bastards search but find no clue. Quinn, Blay, the twins and Layla have their share of problems. Big Showdown, or letdown, when The BDB meet the Band of Bastards? So many problems, so many bad feelings, so much hatred. Can it all be resolved in one book?? Stay tuned and Read. ( )

I just finished my 2nd read annnnnnd.....Wow.
Started out just a bit slow, then built up momentum to where every page was just jaw dropping fantastic.
5 Stars and then some!
Absolutely Amazing!
I loved it. I didn't want it to end. I kept trying to read it slower so it would last longer. But I was so engrossed I couldn't stop.
All the characters and situations are spellbinding.
I think this is the best book in the series so far. You really got to know so much more about world and felt completely involved in what is happening. Even the way they seem to be living in both the New World and the Old World at the same time. There is romance, laughter, sorrow and a whole lot of confrontations and conflicts between the different characters that we have come know and love.
And Layla! Her self-discovery has taken a long time, but she finally gets it!
The writing is amazing. The fluidity just one of the things that keep you completely engrossed.
5 stars J.R. Ward!! ( )
