What this book is about
Wrath is the last pure-blood vampire alive — the king — and he loathes his own kind. When a dying vampire asks him to protect his half-breed daughter Beth during her transition to vampire, Wrath reluctantly agrees. Dark Lover is the first of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series — a long-running paranormal romance with explicit content and an extremely large ensemble.
