The Thief
New enemies rise and desire burns in the next thrilling novel of the #1 New York Times bestselling paranormal romance series the Black Dagger Brotherhood.
Sola Morte, former cat burglar and safecracker, has given up her old life on the wrong side of the law. On the run from a drug lord’s family, she is lying low far from Caldwell, keeping her nose clean and her beloved grandmother safe. Her heart, though, is back up north, with the only man who has ever gotten through her defenses: Assail, son of Assail, who never meant to fall in love — and certainly not with a human woman. But they have no future, and not just because she doesn’t know he is a vampire, but because he is not about to stop dealing arms to the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Fate, however, has other plans for them. When Assail falls into a coma and lingers on the verge of death, his cousins seek out Sola and beg her to give him a reason to live. The last thing she wants is a return to her past, but how can she leave him to die?
As a lethal new enemy of the vampires shows its face, and the Brotherhood needs Assail back on his feet, Sola finds herself not only a target, but a mission-critical force in a war she doesn’t understand. And when Assail’s truth comes out, will she run from the horror... or follow her heart into the arms of the male who loves her more than life itself?

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.
