NOW LIVE: The Chosen by J.R. Ward

THE CHOSEN (Black Dagger Brotherhood #15)

BDB15

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 for the only man she will ever love. Yet even if Xcor is somehow granted a reprieve, he and Layla would have to confront a graver challenge: bridging the chasm that divides their worlds without paving the way for a future of even greater war, desolation, and death.

As 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.


The Chosen, the fifteenth installment in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, is finally here! We’ve been waiting for this love story to unfold for YEARS. The wait was a painful struggle but totally worth it! We’ve seen a bit of Xcor and Layla in the other books but nothing beats having their own book. I just started this morning and I can’t wait for the day to end so I can curl up on bed and be with Xcor. I literally have no idea how they’ll get their HEA but I think I’ll kill someone if this turned out like Trez and Selena’s (The Shadows). I still can’t get over that one. *sobs uncontrollably*

BOOK UPDATE: Black Dagger Brotherhood Series

THE CHOSEN

The image that came to his mind was of a tall, slender female in the white robing of one of the Scribe Virgin’s Chosen. Her blond hair waved down o’er her shoulders and trailed off on a gentle breeze, and her eyes were the color of jade, and her smile was a benediction he had done naught to deserve.

The Chosen Layla had changed everything for him, recasting the Brotherhood from target to tolerable, from enemy to co-existable tenant in the world.

She had had more effect upon his black soul that e’erone who had come before, evolving him a greater distance in a lesser time that he would have thought possible.


 

The story we’ve all been waiting for!

We have a cover and an excerpt! Eeek! Check out Entertainment Weekly for the full excerpt.

Xcor and Layla’s story is one of the most anticipated ever since their first meet in The King. These two have been dancing for years and it’s high time they finally follow their hearts… if Xcor doesn’t get himself killed first by the Brothers!

Expected publication date: April 4, 2017
