NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this sexy paranormal romance novel set in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward tells the story of two couples—both fighting to find love in the midst of the war with the Lessening Society. A vampire aristocrat, Peyton is well aware of his duty to his bloodline: mate with an appropriate female of his class and … appropriate female of his class and carry on his family’s traditions. And he thought he’d found his perfect match—until she fell in love with someone else. Yet when his split-second decision in a battle with the enemy endangers the life of another trainee, Peyton has to face the idea that his future, and his heart, actually lie with another.
Novo, as a female in the Black Dagger Brotherhood’s training program, feels like she has to prove herself to everybody—and she has no interest in being distracted by falling in love. But when Peyton proves to be so much more than a rich playboy, she is forced to confront the tragedy that has broken her soul and closed her off from love.
As the two grapple with Novo’s past and Peyton’s present, another couple must contend with a connection that is unparalleled—and potentially scandalous. Saxton, who has had his heart broken, discovers in himself a deep-seated attraction to Ruhn, a new member of the household. But will the other male explore the connection? Or will he close his mind and his heart to what could be true love . . . and cost Saxton everything?
Praise for J. R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series

With Ward’s spin-off from the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Black Dagger Legacy, we continue to get to see the newest generation of fighters who want to save their race from the Lessening Society. The legacy books are pretty basic compared to its counter part. There is so much going on with in the BDB series that you have to follow along and know what’s what. With the BDL books, it’s just a couple and their journey to happiness (whatever that may be). I really love that she gave us these books. We have so many more characters to fall in love with and so much more time with the ones we have loved all along. These couples in this latest installment made for one addicting read and an amazing addition to the Black Dagger Legacy series.
“He wasn’t mine then,” Saxton choked out. “When we started…he wasn’t yet mine.”
Saxton has broken my heart since the fall out of his relationship with Blay. I didn’t like those two together but I always liked Saxton. Watching his relationship with Ruhn grow was worth the wait. Even though this series is supposed to be the original BDB guys and the new recruits, I think it was prefect to have Saxton’s story in this series. His would have been over shadowed in the BDB series and I really did not want that to happen to him.
“You take my breath away. Now…and forever more.”
Peyton comes into his own in this book and for me I couldn’t get enough of it. Peyton was the one I have been waiting for since Blood Kiss. He peaked my interest then and I have been dying to get more. Novo was everything and so much more than I expected. I would have liked to have seen more about her needs for the club she went to but with everything else I get why we didn’t.
I’ve had so many people ask me when should these start these books. Even though this is a separate series and it could possibly stand on its own. I truly think these books would mean so much more to you if would have read the books in the BDB series at least through all the ones named Lover ______ . After that she kinda revisits some old characters and some side characters get a story too. So with the start of The King you could jump into these at any time. I’ve loved all of these books, some more than others, but they all are amazing and at the top of Paranormal Romance recommendations.
Blood Fury is a journey of overcoming and moving on, starting fresh and finding your voice. It’s emotional and full of the trade mark humor we have come to jknow and love from Ward. I couldn’t get enough of this book.
Blood fury was everything I hoped for and more!!! Damned if JR Wards world of the black dagger brotherhood didn’t take me on one hell ride once again.you can’t read one of her books without having it touch you somewhere deep inside,between all her strong and loveable characters to her trade mark snarky humor she brings out so many emotions that by the time the book’s finished you feel like you just went through hell and back!! I have loved Saxon from the beginning and I was so glad JR gave him such a worthy mate,Ruhn is perfect !! He’s a strong male and I couldn’t wait to see their relationship grow. And then theirs Peyton and novo, this couple is probably one of my favorite couples of the bdb series.two such different people,but both needed to heal and grow together. I have enjoyed this spin off series from the bdb so much!!! Can’t wait for the next one!!
I loved this series, A must read.
She is great in the whole series
This was an awesome read! Novo and Peyton were amazing. Ruhn and Saxton were fantastic! I loved both of their stories. Them opening up, the emotion, the drama, the passion. It was all excellent!
This was the third installment of the spin off series, Black Dagger Legacy, and it did not disappoint. This book focuses on two couples, Novo and Payton and Saxton and Ruhn. Novo and Payton have been circling each other since the very first book and they finally have given in.
“Sometimes life brought you to corners that you saw coming, big changes altering your direction and focus thanks to a given event, like a mating or the birth of a young. Other times, though, the glacial shifts came without warning, popping out of nowhere.” – Payton
I really enjoyed this book. Novo is one tough female and I really like her. She breaks away from her crazy and image driven family and becomes her own person. Her reason for joining the training program was heartbreaking and made me want to cry. Payton really stepped up and became a man in this book. I didn’t really like him before now because of how he always went the easy route. He really looks at himself and makes an effort to change his behaviors. I was surprised by how much I liked him once he got his head out of his ass.
Novo and Payton’s relationship started casually but quickly heated up as they learned about each other. The more they let their barriers fall the more they fell in love, which I loved! These two are perfect for each other and I couldn’t get enough of their relationship.
“I would rather be in a hovel with you than a castle with anybody else.” – Payton to Novo
Now to Saxton and Ruhn. I have been waiting for Saxton to find his perfect man since him and Blay split up and I was not disappointed. Ruhn is Bitty’s uncle who is very uncomfortable around Saxton because he thinks he is being judged. What he doesn’t realize is that Saxton can’t keep his eyes off Ruhn because he thinks he is the hottest man he has ever seen. When Ruhn is assigned as Saxton’s bodyguard they both quickly realize they are attracted to each other. I adored Saxton and Ruhn. I just couldn’t get enough of them and I really hope they pop up more in future books.
“It only takes an instant…..When it’s real, it’s like turning on a light switch. Click, and then there is illumination everywhere.” – Blay to Saxton
Overall this was another amazing book by Ward! I cannot get enough of this series and cannot wait to jump into the next book.
Reader Warning
Heroine has a miscarriage.
I was thoroughly impressed with this one. Payton was NOT my favorite character in the previous two books. But he pulled through in the end and I loved it. I ESPECIALLY loved Uncle Ruhn finding love with our favorite royal solicitor!

Author Extraordinare Ms J.R. Ward Has Done It Yet Again!
I have now read over 20 of her Incredible Books And Have Yet Come Across One I’ve Rated Lower Than a 4.5 Stars Out of 5 Stars! How Many Other Author’s Can Claim That or continuously put out 20+ Books of such high calibre with millions of copies sold worldwide in multiple languages with such an incredible legion of devoted fans?
But don’t get me wrong, J.R. like any author, must earn a high scored review from me.
Each book is judged fairly, impartially & individually on its merits, they don’t automatically get given it, because I’m sure I’ll like their work or have loved past work. If there’s a dud or a book not quite up to par I’ll say so, but in a constructive way.
I don’t think any reviewer’s have the right to trash and authors work.
We need to remember exactly what goes onto a book, the blood, sweat and tears and all the time researching, writing, editing, The re-writes, re-editiing,
hiring artists for covers, maps & illustrations, advertising and promotions, and then book signings & book cons and so forth and every book, even if its not that great, I believe deserves to get credit for the work done & judged fairly with constructive criticism not full on personal attacks.
A unique, relatable, action packed world, full of love, patnership, violence & war, even though the war is coming to an end & rarely features in the new series. Mateship, brotherhood & bonding.
Chock a block full of incredibly endearing characters whom I’ve come to love as much as real life people I know.
These Black Dagger Brotherhood’s The Band of Bastards & The Legacy Crew are hard to let go of, even once that backcover book jacket closes for a final time, they stay in my mind long after that book is put back on the shelf!
I’m just grateful J.R. continues to write in both Series as well as others (which as of yet, I am yet to read).
I loved getting to know the real side to Peyton, Novo, & getting back in touch with Saxon after his heartbreak at losing the love of his life first time around and how Bitty’s blooded uncle Rhuin (one of the most endearing characters of all time stole my heart & Saxton’s but will their love find a way to make it in the end? Well you’ll need to purchase it to find out! But All are characters of worth!
I love how J.R. combines the world of the filthy stinking rich of the Glymera, & their Old Ways, as well as the lower class civilian’s coming from a dirt poor background and how they’ll often find more in common with their opposition than a person of their own station.
I know the war is meant to be against The Omega and the Lessening society but, I think we’re also learning that the war is against the Glymera and their disgusting out dated ways .
How he hell do these parents think it’s ok to sell their children into loveless unwanted marriages as if they are nothing more than an oil painting or tapestry of exquisite piece of furniture? Actually it makes me feel quite ill,
But it does ring you into the story getting right behind the character embarrassing for the all the way hoping they final of their life and get out from under their conniving parents or parent.
I RATE BLOOD VOW 5 OUT OF 5 !
This is one of the Best Legacy Books Yet!

I absolutely loved this book.
We get so many different stories.
Saxton has to finally let go of Blaylock and its a surprise with whom he will move on with…
Novo has a cleansing of sorts and it’s the person who she would have less expected to be there for her that helps her mend…
And of course we have several of the brothers and Wrath himself in this book so that makes for even happier reading…
Action, deep storylines and intense moments bring this story to a fantastic thrilling read. And in audible it is ten times better. The narrator does a fantastic job.
Holy cow!
BLOOD FURY starts off 2018 with these beautifully damaged and amazing love stories that will tear your heart out and then breathe life right back into your body! I know I don’t make much sense but trust me, it will after you read the book!
Brilliant storytelling and off-the-charts sexy romances will leave you desperate for more!
Thankfully, we only have to wait a few months for the next Black Dagger book!
The only thing that stuck in my craw was the fact that Manny’s character seemed so out of place. I’m not sure if he’s going through a mid life crisis but I felt he was completely out of character, especially with the constant pop culture references. His character is usually pretty fluid and it seemed out of place in the story, especially since he shared a lot of page time with the other characters in the story. But maybe that’s just my own personal thing. However, it doesn’t take away from the rating I gave the book. It’s an awesome story that I devoured in just one day!

5 Stars
I absolutely loved every word, sentence and paragraph.
As usual J.R. Ward has delivered a story that has all the elements of yet another masterpiece.
You are not the reader, but a participant in this world. You are connected in every sense of the word.
You don’t just read her Black Dagger books. You live it. You breath it. You fully experience it.
In truth, you yearn for the next story like an addict for their next fix.
In this one we get Peyton & Novo’s story. They are the main mc’s.
While I loved their story, what I really loved…..
Is Saxton!
Saxton & Ruhn.
Who knew Saxton had it in him to be a badass!
I only wish we had more of them. They were definitely some of my favorite parts.
I’m a BDB fan, but I’m not feeling this series so much. Two love stories in this one with mentions and visits of our veteran vamps which I love. Not sure what else to say, maybe bring on the next one. This one was entertaining enough but felt lacking.
Another great book from J.R. Ward. I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood world. I’ve read them all. Always entertaining, emotional, captivating. Feel like the BDB are part of the family. A must read if you love the BDB.
Blood fury, which is the 3rd book in the spin off series of BDB, called Black Dagger Legacy was a great read. Of course we are talking about J.R. Ward here and she is an amazing writer so no surprise that I loved it. Like all Mrs. Wards’ books there is more than one story line going on. You got Petyon and Novo, trainees in the Black Dagger Brotherhood’s training program and you got Saxton and Ruhn. Since there are two love stories I will touch a little on each couple.
I loved Novo. She was kick ass, but had a sweet side. I didn’t like Peyton as much. There was something about him that just rubbed me the wrong way. So when it came to Peyton and Novo’s relationship I enjoyed it but not as much because I didn’t care for Peyton. I also felt their connection wasn’t as strong as some of the other couples the Warden as written. They did have a cute relationship but it didn’t feel as deep.
I loved Saxton and Ruhn. They made the book for me. I have loved and felt bad for Saxton every since Blay left him. Ruhn was sexy and strong and Saxton sweet and brave. I loved how Saxton showed his strong side when he went all bonded male of the SOBs that hurt his mate! Ruhn and Saxton’s relationship felt beautiful, sexy and I was totally invested in them. They were perfect! Just sayin’!
Overall this book was a great read and I can’t wait to read J.R. Ward’s next book!
Ward is my favorite author writing today. Every book is even better than the last one. I can’t devour these books quickly enough!
Blood Fury is an all-consuming new book in the Black Dagger Legacy that is utterly fascinating and wickedly compelling! J.R. Ward’s Legacy series is just as dark, alluring, and full of drama and kick-butt action that is guaranteed to leave readers BEGGING for more. The ups and downs are just as dramatic as you would find in Miss Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series and I LOVED LOVED LOOOOOOVED it!
The Big thing that hypnotized me the most was Saxton’s HEA. I have been eager for him to get a happy ending since he and Blay ended. When you add in Peyton’s and Novo HEA and you get a double wammy of AWESOME that I treasured with every fiber of my being. I don’t think I can EVER get tired of seeing the BDB as teachers and mentors. Its fantastic watching them train new recruits and watching them become strong and determined to protect their race. Blood Fury is my new favorite book and I am sitting on pins and needles as I wait anxiously for the next book in this Legacy series. No one can write like J.R. Ward…NO. ONE.
Blood Fury gets a ALL CONSUMING AND WILL MAKE YOU GIDDY FOR MORE FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
Love her books
I liked it, because I enjoy any story about the Black Dagger Brotherhood. That said, I didn’t enjoy it as much as some of her other books, because there wasn’t much else going on except these two relationships.
Love the vampire books by JR Ward. Her Black Dagger series is wonderful!
This is the generation of the brotherhood well written. JR ward is the queen of this genre
