The Beast
by J. R. Ward

Rhage and Mary return in a new novel of the Black Dagger
Brotherhood, a series “so popular, I don’t think
there’s a reader today who hasn’t at least heard
of [it]” (USA Today).

Nothing is as it used to be for the Black Dagger
Brotherhood. After avoiding war with the Shadows, alliances
have shifted and lines have been drawn. The slayers of the
Lessening Society are stronger than ever, preying on human
weakness to acquire more money, more weapons, more power.
But as the Brotherhood readies for an all-out attack on
them, one of their own fights a battle within himself…

For Rhage, the Brother with the biggest appetites, but also
the biggest heart, life was supposed to be perfect—or
at the very least, perfectly enjoyable. Mary, his beloved
shellan, is by his side and his King and his brothers are
thriving. But Rhage can’t understand—or
control—the panic and insecurity that plague him…

And that terrifies him—as well as distances him from
his mate. After suffering mortal injury in battle, Rhage
must reassess his priorities—and the answer, when it
comes to him, rocks his world...and Mary’s. But Mary
is on a journey of her own, one that will either bring them
closer together or cause a split that neither will recover
from…
