Black Dagger Brotherhood Series
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Black Dagger Brotherhood is an ongoing series of paranormal romance books by author J. R. Ward.

Ward's Fallen Angels series is set in the same universe, and has some overlap in characters, but little overlap in story lines. It takes place earlier than the main series.
