The Black Dagger Brotherhood began with Wrath in Dark
Lover in 2005. Now, in the twelfth book of the series,
premier Paranormal Romance author, J.R. Ward returns with
her latest installment to celebrate the Blind King.
So much has changed for Wrath since his first book. No
longer fighting against the Lessening Society, Wrath is now
the race's pureblood king. Yet there are many who wish to
see him overthrown. While Wrath struggles to keep his place
as ruler of the race, he encounters problems of a personal
matter. His half-human mate, Beth wants to have a baby.
While this may seem like the most natural next step for the
couple, Wrath has explained that he never wants a child
because they will be subjected to the same pressure and
scrutiny as he was. However, if there is one person who can
stand up to the Blind King, it is his mate.
THE KING delivers the same action, passion and romance one
expects from J.R. Ward. With multiple storylines, Ward
explores the romances of Assail, Xcor, Trez and iAm,
further developing the world into a more complex and
multidimensional entity.
Ward expertly weaves a second romance for Wrath and Beth in
a way that makes you further understand their characters.
She excels in creating a connection between the couples that
transcend what most other authors are capable of. In fact,
no one else can accomplish the same level of deep-rooted
emotion and heartache that Ward can with her words. Not only
is it considered a great talent, but it is a gift as well,
making Ward one of the most unique and successful authors of
our time.
Long live the King
After turning his back on the throne for centuries,
Wrath,
son of Wrath, finally assumed his father's mantle--with
the
help of his beloved mate. But the crown sets heavily on
his
head. As the war with the Lessening Society rages on, and
the threat from the Band of Bastards truly hits home, he
is
forced to make choices that put everything--and everyone-
-at
risk.
Beth Randall thought she knew what she was getting into
when
she mated the last pure blooded vampire on the planet: An
easy ride was not it. But when she decides she wants a
child, she's unprepared for Wrath's response--or the
distance it creates between them.
The question is, will true love win out... or tortured
legacy take over?
