Synopsis

The daughter of a legend finds the love of a lifetime in this passionate, heart-wrenching installment in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Nalla, the blooded daughter of Zsadist, has led a sheltered life. Protected by her father and the Brotherhood, she is chafing against the walls of the very safety that has ensured her survival. One night, she gives in to her restlessness…and finds herself face-to-face with a male whose inner darkness rivals even that of her sire’s horrific origins.

Nate is a fighter with nothing to lose and nothing to live for. Tortured in a human lab as a young, then cursed with immortality, he is all vengeance and no purpose because he cares for no one—not even himself. The Brotherhood knows this all too well and following Nate’s deliberate violation of the cardinal rule in the war, they declare him a dangerous liability that must be dealt with.

When Nalla and Nate find themselves fighting side by side, daggers aren’t the only things that fly. A sizzling attraction is ignited, though Nalla knows her sire will never accept him—and on his side, Nate has made a secret bargain to end his own immortality. As the enemy closes in, and Nalla realizes she must choose between her mate and her sire, what starts with such passion may well end with eternal sorrow and no chance of a reunion—even in the Fade.

Goodreads review by Sarah on April 09, 2024

Was so excited for this book but it was so boring. I skimmed through it quickly and nothing was happening. Nalla’s story should have been a novella instead and i was actually more interested in Bitty as a lead than her. Also, the younger generation seems like a bunch of spoiled brats tbh. I loved Z......more

Love this series! Awesome story and fantastic ending. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It took me a few chapters to refresh and get back into the series groove. This story is based on two slightly known secondary characters from other books and the author does a great job of building the back story while refreshing ou......more

Goodreads review by Paola on April 11, 2024

My last few BDB reviews have been harsh, so this might as well be a 5 star. Let's start with what I liked: 1. Fully fleshed out main characters (lets be honest the last HANDFUL of females have been halfassed) 2. The chemistry. Nalla & Nate had really good chemistry. But so did LW and Bitty. And Shuli......more

2 stars - Vampire Romance/Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy It's been a while since I really enjoyed a BDB book, but I hoped I'd feel differently with this because of how much I loved Zsadist and Bella's love story. But their daughter, Nalla, is a total brat, and she's not a likeable romantic heroine.......more

Goodreads review by Alba on February 07, 2025

3'5 Estrellitas. ¿Cómo lo defino? Sí, me ha gustado, pero me ha sabido a poco, esperaba más. Tras ése final de infarto en Lassiter, esperaba mucho más en ésta historia, y aunque han transcurrido treinta y tres años, en el mundo de la Hermandad parece que sigue todo igual. Excepto que el mundo se ha......more
