Fresh Fiction Review

J.R. Ward has done something very unique with this prequel story. Darius is one of the most beloved and original members of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. In many ways, he was what started the series out. So for a character so special, Ward did something she has never done before and that is release this story as an audiobook exclusive. This means that you can only “read” through an audiobook.
 
Jim Frangione is the narrator, and he is also someone who has been standing by this series for a long time. I’ve always loved his work with the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but I felt like he did such a good job with this one especially. He captured all the emotions from the anguish, fear, regret and love that Darius feels. It’s definitely worth a listen even if you aren’t an audiobook listener. Frangione and Ward breathe life into these beloved characters.
 
As you can tell, I absolutely loved this story. Learning the details from Darius’ point of view made me remember everything that I loved about the series. If you’re a fan of this series, then you don’t want to miss out on it. It was a joy to get to read about the parts of life before some of the other books took place.
 
DARIUS is another book on my keeper shelf. If you haven’t read this series yet, you are definitely missing out. Rife with action, passion, and suspenseful, these books will no doubt sink their teeth into you.

SUMMARY

In this powerful audio exclusive, #1 New York Times bestseller J.R. Ward shares the star-crossed love story of listener 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 interested in crashing 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.
