Darius: A Black Dagger Brotherhood Love Story

Written by J.R. Ward

Narrated by Jim Frangione

#1 New York Times bestseller J.R. Ward shares the powerful star-crossed love story of reader favorite, and original member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Darius.

Darius, son of Marklon, isn’t looking for love the night destiny comes to claim him. He’s also not interested in crashing his new car. But when a human woman runs out into the road and he must swerve to avoid killing her...everything goes off course.

Disillusioned by his King’s lack of leadership and the losses in the war against the Lessening Society, Darius finds purpose in protecting a woman he cannot make his own. Love finds a way, however—until the truth of what he is comes out and she leaves him in horror.

Unbeknownst to them both, Anne is carrying his young, a female who is destined to be Queen—and after a tragic reunion, he vows to protect their daughter. Resigned to perpetual sadness, he is determined to serve the memory of his beloved no matter the cost...unless by some miracle, fate sees fit to once again bring them together.

Reviews for Darius

[Pat Leso · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I’ve waited years to find out about Darius and this book finally explained it all. I do no like audio books because I love the feel of a book, but the man narrating this did an excellent job.

[Shannon Scudella · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Perfect, I've been waiting for a happy ending like this

[Claudette Gladue · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Oh my gawd this is the best book of the series.
Thank JR Ward for giving us this conclusion of Darius…

[Pamela Vasandani · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Beautiful and riveting to the end. Great to finally know the truth about Beth’s parents and their true love.

[Brandy Conner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing. What a great story and a wonderful way to look back at Darius's past and then to have it come full circle at the end. Bring out the tissues at the end.

It’s really cool to see Darius go into the fade. This back story was really good. I hope that Tohr will get this same reunion with Welsie in the fade
