Each year, #1 NYT bestselling author J.R. Ward’s blockbuster series continues to grow. USA Today hailed her books as, “so popular, I don’t think there’s a reader today who hasn’t at least heard of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.“
THE CHOSEN follows Xcor and the Chosen Layla’s forbidden love, which threatens to tear a rift through the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Meanwhile, 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.

A scorching forbidden love threatens to tear a rift through the Black Dagger Brotherhood in J.R. Ward’s latest novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series: THE CHOSEN.
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 ever had for the only man she will ever love.
