Description
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

Reviews
One of the Best
5By Josey86This book was a tough one to get through. So many emotions. So much fighting amongst people who genuinely love each other. It actually hurt a little to read. Qhuinn was an absolute douche through most of the book, but he managed to redeem himself in the end, mostly. He better keep that 🤬 up, though. Another ending that lead to tears. The books are certainly getting better as the series progresses.Wow
5By JesceeNicoleThis is the best so far. So so very good!The best book
5By Mia12567It’s like they saved the best for last. This was full of action!! So much drama. I loved every bit of it . I am so interested in following up on certain characters and their choices. Wow !!Disappointing
3By Yvette Br.So it took me 4 months to finish this book and even that was a struggle. I swear I could not understand anyone’s decisions. Xcor was the only good thing about this book. He is the only reason this book is getting 3 Stars. The main thing that upset me about this book is the complete personality switch in Qhuinn. This book made me hate him a little and I can not forgive the author making me hate one of my favorite characters. The flashbacks were the only parts I liked.Worth Waiting For
5By Creativevoice7As alway problems are resolved and smoothed out, but there is always drama in-between to make the happy ending a little less pat. There was more laugh out loud parts in this story that has been missing in most of the series. I like it, and I like the emotional development of the characters. Truly a well deserved happy ending.A Review
5By Sky_842I've waited and waited for this installment and I was not disappointed. The Warden always delivers. Layla has been one of my favorite females since she showed up way back in the old days, and her story made me feel so much. I can't wait for The Thief!!Rose
5By RbcgdBest writer ever. She write it I buy it. The Brother's have been a part of me from the beginning. You feel like your in the room with each one,each conversation . I've read all of them . So hope this isn't the of the brother hood. Have read all you book. Except for the last four at the end of this book . But I know that I can start the BLACK DAGGER BROTHER from the beginning and enjoy. It,s the kind of write & series that can write over againPhenomenal
5By Bjolley2As always BDB series is phenomenal. Love the character growth and love this extended family has. Never disappointedChosen
5By Rocking Jeni CAnother wonderful book in the series. I'm never disappointed.Best one yet!
5By I paid 4 this??Made me laugh & cry!Not a favorite; too many unresolved plot lines and a rushed HEA
3By C ReaderThis was one of my least favorite BDB books. Too many characters and unresolved story lines resulted in too little substance for me. It felt like a filler book with a convenient HEA thrown in at the end. Excor's transition from villain to "good guy" rang hollow. This is the first time I've ever written a negative BDB review; very disppointed.Love this book!
5By JtmaranThe Chosen is another hit by J R Ward! I love the BlackDagger Brotherhood ! ❤❤😂Amazing!!!!
5By gladiatorloverTruly amazing!!! Loved every minute!!! Actually it was also a kind of torture because I do not know if I should thank the warden from giving me more Vishous or hate her for teasing me!!!! I love V and Jane and now I have to wait till 2018 to see what happens!!!Oh Wow!!!
5By MsCMarLaBee 🌺Okay let me just say I am a BDB junkie!!! I love this series and I love this book even more. This book is fill with every imaginable twist and turn. Layla's growth is just heartwarming! People you need this book in your collection!!! Can't wait for the next one!I hate that I can only give this book 5 stars!
5By Chanchan15I LOVE all the BBD series books but I think this one is my favorite so far, by far. Please never stop writing Ms. Ward. I could not put it down and finished it in two days. Seriuosly it was awesome and I am about to read it again to make sure I did not miss a thing…So good. This book needs like 50 stars!Finally!!
5By Janet4005I have to say it was totally worth the wait in the end. I cried, laughed, was turned on, was on edge and of course wasn't able to put it down for 2 days straight. This was actually one of my favorite out of all the BDB books. I can't wait for the next one. Thank you for your amazing books J.R. Ward, I was so worried you were going to pull a George R.R. Martin on me for a moment or two.راعثاصغدكغ ت
