Out of the wickedly inventive imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward comes a world where sin and salvation collide in a battle for the future of mankind — where a cynical fallen angel struggles against the seven deadly sins and a demon’s lure over seven chosen souls…

Mels Carmichael, reporter for the Caldwell Courier Journal, gets the shock of her life when a man stumbles in front of her car outside the local cemetery. After the accident, his amnesia is just the kind of mystery she likes to solve, but she soon discovers they’re in over their heads with his past. Over their heads with passion, too...

As shadows walk the line between reality and another realm, and her lover’s memory begins to come back, the two of them learn that nothing is truly dead and buried. Especially when you’re trapped in a no holds barred war between angels and demons. With a soul on the line, and Mels’s heart at risk, what in Heaven — or in Hell — will it take to save them both?

J. R. Ward

J. R. Ward

Some writers create worlds; J. R. Ward builds empires of shadow and desire, where immortal warriors fight for love as fiercely as they battle their enemies. Best known for her Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Ward has transformed paranormal romance into something more—a pulse-pounding blend of dark fantasy, sizzling passion, and deeply human struggles, all wrapped in her unmistakable, razor-sharp prose.

Born Jessica Rowley Pell Bird, Ward was drawn to storytelling from an early age, her imagination fueled by gothic literature, sweeping epics, and the kind of brooding, tormented heroes that now dominate her books. Though she originally pursued a career in law, the call of fiction was irresistible. It wasn’t long before she abandoned legal briefs for manuscripts, pouring her love of complex characters and high-stakes drama into every page.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, which began with Dark Lover in 2005, didn’t just find an audience—it ignited a fandom. Readers were immediately drawn to her world of powerful yet wounded vampire warriors, each haunted by their past and bound by an unbreakable brotherhood. With its blend of raw emotion, high-octane action, and scorching romance, the series redefined the genre, influencing countless authors and setting a new standard for paranormal storytelling.

Beyond vampires, Ward has explored a spectrum of dark and addictive narratives, from the gritty Bourbon Kings trilogy to her compelling spin-off, the Black Dagger Legacy. Each book crackles with her signature intensity, where love is always hard-won and danger lurks at every turn. Her work has earned a place on The New York Times bestseller list multiple times, a testament to her ability to craft stories that sink deep into readers' souls.

Ward, who writes with a near-religious discipline, often describes her creative process as an obsession. “I don’t create these stories; they take over,” she has admitted in interviews. This relentless drive is evident in the depth of her world-building and the intensity of her characters—every flaw, every scar, every whispered vow feels lived-in, as if her warriors and heroines are more than fiction; they are legend.

Despite the darkness in her books, there is always light—love that endures against impossible odds, brotherhood stronger than blood, and the promise that even the most broken can find redemption. With each novel, Ward continues to prove that romance can be just as thrilling, just as harrowing, and just as unforgettable as the greatest of epics.

For those who crave stories where passion is as dangerous as the battles fought, where loyalty is a force stronger than fate, and where love demands everything—J. R. Ward remains the undisputed queen of the genre.
