A Bloom in Winter
For his entire life, and especially during his century in the prison camp, Apex never believed the bonded-male vampire myths. But when he crossed paths with a sexy wolven, the assassin was done being a lone wolf himself. Tragically, fate had other plans for them, and in the decades since, the world has held little interest—and even less warmth—for him.
He has never forgotten the male, however...
Even after all this time, Callum remains haunted by the horrible abduction that destroyed him down to his marrow those many years ago. Living as a loner, drifting from place to place, the wolven has finally returned to upstate New York—and he is not expecting to see the vampire who has always been on his mind.
As a plot to overthrow the King threatens the Brothers down in Caldwell, Apex and Callum find themselves face to face—and caught up in a deadly, treasonous plot. Can two lonely, lost souls find a way back to each other...or will destiny once again condemn their hearts to cold isolation?
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.
Black Dagger Brotherhood
In the shadowy streets of Caldwell, New York, a brotherhood of elite vampire warriors wage a constant battle against an ancient enemy—the Lessening Society. These warriors, bound by blood and duty, stand as the last line of defense against the ruthless forces determined to wipe out their kind. The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward immerses readers in a gritty, high-stakes world where dark desire and loyalty collide.
Black Dagger Brotherhood consists of twenty-two primary books, and includes seven additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads — series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
