Publisher's Summary

J.R. Ward's number-one New York Times best-selling Black Dagger Brotherhood continues as a royal bloodline is compromised by a grave threat to the throne.

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?

past present and future

JR Ward blends seamlessly in my opinion the time juxtaposition of past present and future in this book. When I read the hard copy O found it hard to get through on the first go. Jim brings such vitality to the characters that the audio just flows.

oh that was good.

this one was harder to put down than most of the rest of the books in this series this was an excellent book and I loved every second of it that ending is amazing and worth the wait it's worth the 13 book process to get to it basically.

I would highly recommend this book

Another fantastic read!!

This is another re-read of the series for me and everytime I learn something new about it. I love being able to read about the characters and seeing where this story is heading. I'd recommend this book and the series to anyone, you won't be disappointed. Even if you don't normally read about Vampire's you will love this one as J R Ward just has a way with words and building a world with characters that are so life like that you want to meet them and live in their world. 😍
