The Chosen: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Hardcover – April 4, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
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.

About the Author

Mountains Of Caldwell, New York, Present day
The Black Dagger Brotherhood were keeping him alive, so that they could kill him. Given the sum of Xcor’s earthly pursuits, which had beenat their best violent, and at their worst downright depraved, it seemed an apt end for him.
He had been born upon a winter’s night, during a historic blizzard’s gale. Deep within a damp and dirty cave, as icy gusts had raked o’er the Old Country, the female who had carried him had screamed and bled to bring forth unto the Black Dagger Brother Hharm the son that had been demanded of her.
He had been desperately wanted. Until he had fully arrived.
And that was the beginning of his story . . . which had ultimately landed him here.
In another cave. On another December’s eve. And as with his actual birth, the wind howled to greet him, although this time, it was a return to consciousness as opposed to an expelling unto independent life that brought him forth.
As with a newly born young, he had little control over his body. Incapacitated he was, and that would have been true even without the steel chains and bars that were locked across his chest, his hips, his thighs. Machines, at odds with the rustic environs, beeped behind his head, monitoring his respiration, heart rate, blood pressure.
With all the ease of unoiled gears, his brain began to function properly beneath his skull, and when thoughts finally coalesced and formed rational sequences, he recalled the series of events that had resulted in him, the leader of the Band of Bastards, falling into the custody of what had been his enemies: an attack upon him from behind, a concussive fall, a stroke or some such that had rendered him prone and on life support.
At the non-extant mercy of the Brothers.
He had surfaced unto awareness once or twice during his captivity, recording his captors and his whereabouts in this earthen corridor that was inexplicably shelved with jars of all kinds. The returns to conscious- ness had never lasted long, however, the connectivity in his mental arena unsustainable for any length of time.
This emergence was different, however. He could sense the shift within his mind. Whate’er had been injured had finally healed and he was back from the foggy landscape of neither-life-nor-death—and staying on the vital side.
“. . . really worry about is Tohr.”
The tail end of the sentence uttered by a male entered Xcor’s ear as a series of vibrations, the translation of which was on a delay, and whilst the words caught up to the syllables, he shifted his eyes over. Two heavily armed figures in black had their backs to him and he reclosed his lids, not wishing to reveal his change of status. Their identities were duly noted, however.
“Nah, he’s tight.” There was a soft scratching sound and then the smell of rich tobacco rose up. “And if he slips, I’ll be there.”
The deep voice who had first spoken became dry. “To chain our brother back in line—or help him murder this piece of meat?”
The Brother Vishous laughed like a serial killer. “Such a dim fucking view of me you got.”
’Tis a wonder we are not better aligned, Xcor thought. These males were as bloodthirsty as he.
Such an alliance was never to be, however. The Brotherhood and the Bastards had been e’er on different sides of Wrath’s kingship, the line drawn by the path of the bullet Xcor had put into the throat of that law- ful leader of the vampire race.
And the price of his treason was going to be exacted here and soon upon him.
Of course, the irony was that a countervailing force had since inter- ceded upon his destiny and taken his ambitions and focus far, far from the throne. Not that the Brotherhood knew any of it—and nor would they care. In addition to sharing an appetite for war, he and the Brothers had in common another core feature: Forgiveness was for the weak, pardoning the act of the pathetic, pity a capacity possessed by females, never fighters. Even if they became aware that he no longer carried any aggression toward Wrath, they would not release him of the reckoning he had so rightfully earned. And given all that had transpired, he was not bitter or
angry at what was coming his way. It was the nature of conflict.
He did find himself saddened, though—something that was not familiar to his makeup.
From out of memory, an image came unto his mind and took his breath away. It was of a tall, slender female in the white robing of the Scribe Virgin’s sacred Chosen. Her blond hair waved down o’er her shoulders and trailed off at her hips on a gentle breeze, and her eyes were the color of jade, her smile a benediction he had done naught to deserve. The Chosen Layla was what had changed everything for him, recasting the Brotherhood from target to tolerable, from enemy to coxistable
tenant in the world.
In the short year and a half Xcor had known her, she had had more effect upon his black soul than anyone who had come before, evolving him a greater distance in a lesser time than he would have e’er thought possible.
The Dhestroyer, Vishous’s fellow Brother, spoke anew. “Actually, I’m down with Tohr ripping him the fuck apart. He’s earned the right.”
The Brother Vishous cursed. “We all have. Gonna be hard to make sure there’s anything left at the end for him to have at.”
And herein was the conundrum, Xcor thought behind his closed lids. The only possible way out of this deadly scenario was to reveal the love he’d found for a female who was not his, never had been, and was not e’er going to be.
But he would not sacrifice the Chosen Layla for anyone or anything. Not even to save himself.
As Tohr walked through the pine forest of the Brotherhood’s mountain, his shitkickers crunched over the frosted ground and a bracing wind hit him square in the face. In his wake, as tight on his heels as his shadow, he could feel his losses filing along with him, a grim, mournful lineup as tangible as chains.
The sense he was being pursued by his dead made him think about all those paranormal TV shows, the ones that tried to pin down whether ghosts actually existed. What a load of bullshit that was. The human hysteria around supposed misty entities floating up stairwells and mak- ing old houses creak with disembodied footsteps was so characteristic of that self-absorbed, drama-creating lesser species. It was one more thing Tohr hated about them.
And as usual, they missed the point.
The dead absolutely fucking haunted you, running their cold finger- tips of remember-me up the back of your neck until you couldn’t decide whether you wanted to scream from missing them . . . or from wanting to be left alone.
They stalked your nights and prowled your days, leaving a minefield of sorrow triggers in their path.
They were your first and last thought, the filter you tried to push aside, the invisible barrier between you and everyone else.
Sometimes, they were even more a part of you than the people in your life that you could actually touch and hold.
So yeah, nobody needed a dumb-ass TV show to prove the already known: Even as Tohr had found love with another female, his first shellan, Wellsie, and the unborn son she had been carrying when she’d been murdered by the Lessening Society, were never further away from him than his own skin.
And now there had been yet another death in the Brotherhood household.
Trez’s mate, Selena, had gone unto the Fade mere months ago, passing away from a disease for which there had been no cure and no relief and no understanding.
Tohr hadn’t slept properly since.
Refocusing on the evergreens around him, he ducked down and pushed a limb out of his way, and then sidestepped a fallen trunk. He could have dematerialized to his destination, but his brain was banging around so violently in the prison of his skull that he doubted he could have concentrated enough to go ghost.
Selena’s death had been one big-ass fucking trigger for him, an event affecting third parties that had nonetheless grabbed his snow globe and shaken it so hard that his inner flakes were whizzing around and refusing to settle.
He had been down in the training center when she had been called unto the Fade, and the moment of death had not been silent. It had been marked by a sound torn from Trez’s soul, the audio equivalent of a gravestone—and Tohr knew that one well. He’d done it himself when he’d been told about his own female’s death.
So, yeah, on the wings of her love’s agony had Selena been carried forth from the earth unto the Fade—
Dragging himself out of that cognitive loop was like trying to pull a car from a ravine, the effort required tremendous, the progress made inch by inch.
Onward through the forest, though, through the woods, through the winter night, crushing what was underfoot, with those ghosts of his whispering behind him.
The Tomb was the Black Dagger Brotherhood’s sanctum sanctorum, that hidden site where inductions occurred, and secret meetings were
held, and the jars of slain lessers were kept. Located deep within the earth, in a labyrinth created by nature, traditionally it was off-limits to anybody who hadn’t gone through the ceremony and been marked as a brother.
That rule had had to bend, however, at least with respect to its quarter- mile-long entrance hall.
As he came up to the cave system’s inconspicuous entrance, he halted and felt his anger surge.
For the first time in his tenure as a brother, he was not welcome. All because of a traitor.
Xcor’s body was in there on the far side of the gates, halfway down the shelved passageway, lying on a gurney, his life force monitored and kept going by machines.
Until that bastard woke up and could be interrogated, Tohr was not allowed inside.
And his brothers were right not to trust him.
As he closed his eyes, he saw his King shot in the throat, relived the moment when Wrath’s life had been slipping away along with his red blood, recast that scene as Tohr had had to save the last purebred vampire on the planet by cutting a hole in the front of his throat and sticking tubing from his Camelbak into that esophagus.
Xcor had ordered the assassination. Xcor had told one of his fighters to put a bullet through that male of worth’s flesh, had plotted with the glymera to overthrow the rightful ruler—but the motherfucker had failed. Wrath had lived in spite of the odds, and in the first democratic election in the history of the race, had then been appointed the leader of all vampires, a position he now held by consensus as opposed to bloodline.
So fuck you very much, you sonofabitch.
Curling his hands into fists, Tohr easily ignored the creak of his leather gloves and the constriction along the backs of his knuckles. All he knew was a hatred so deep it was a mortal disease.
Fate had seen fit to take three from his and his own: Destiny had stolen from him his shellan and his young, and then taken Trez’s love. You want to talk about balance in the universe? Fine. He wanted his balance, and that was only going to come when he snapped Xcor’s neck and gouged the fucker’s warm heart out from between his ribs.
It was about time for a source of evil to be taken out of commission and he was just the one to even the goddamn score.
And the waiting was now over. As much as he respected his brothers, he was done cooling his jets. Tonight was a sad anniversary for him and he was going to give his mourning a special little present.
Party time.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2017"And herein was the conundrum, Xcor thought behind his closed lids. The only possible way out of this deadly scenario was to reveal the love he'd found for a female that was not his, never had been, and was not e'er going to be. But he would not sacrifice the Chosen Layla for anyone or anything. Not even to save himself."
FINAL DECISION: Layla and Xcor's romance brings to light a lot of discord and fractures in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world. Things are changing and this book demonstrates and brings to light those changes along with a surprisingly sweet romance. Loved it.
THE STORY: Xcor is the enemy of the Black Dagger Brotherhood having attempted to assassinate the King. Captured by the BDB, Xcor is only awaiting death. He is a vampire who has lived a cruelty and harshness and the first softness he has found are his feelings for Layla. The Chosen Layla is the mother of twins and has been meeting Xcor secretly because he fascinates her. The only way to stop Xcor's death sentence is the reveal information she has about him which would threaten her position with her "family" and perhaps her own relationship with her children.
OPINION: I loved this book. First, I will confess that I've always liked the Xcor and Layla pairing because it really seems like a beauty and the beast scenario (my favorite trope). I thought they had a difficult journey to find their happiness and it did not always seem like it would be possible. The story of Xcor and Layla also gave characters that otherwise seemed pretty one-dimensional some needed depth.
Layla has always been in a difficult position as to Xcor. He is the enemy of everything she loves -- and yet she has not been able to resist him. This book ups the ante and places her own relationship with her children at risk. I saw in this book her strength in a way that she hasn't revealed herself before. The heroines in this series have often had to risk things and people that are important to them -- the only difference here is that the very characters we have come to know and love are in opposition to the romance.
One thing I really enjoyed is that many of the characters recognize that love is not always controllable and cut Layla some slack. I thought the majority of the characters reacted in ways that I expected them to -- with anger and concern and distrust, but that struggled with their own care for Layla.
Xcor has been changing for a long time in this series. The long term nature of his story has made his transformation feel natural and real. I wasn't surprised by his actions here because it has become evident over time that he will do anything for Layla -- even become a better person.
But this book is about more than Xcor and Layla. If it seemed like all the characters were settling into a normalized world -- this book rips all that apart. There are plenty of fractures and changes that this book reveals or causes. Things are a changin' in Caldwell and it's about time.
There are secondary and related stories or glimpses about Qhuinn and Blay, V and Jane, Trez (who has a shock coming after the death of Serena), Throe, Tohr, Assail, and Lassiter. There are plenty of appearances by other BDB characters and plenty of new stories (including drama and angst) are apparently brewing.
WORTH MENTIONING: I actively disliked Qhuinn in this book. His behavior was completely unacceptable and I don't know that he redeemed himself at all in the end.
CONNECTED BOOKS: THE CHOSEN is the fifteenth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. This book should be read as part of the series to truly understand the long simmering romance and the dynamics of all the relationships here.
STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 20175 stars is automatic for any book that keeps me up past midnight reading because I have to see what’s going to happen. I’m very fastidious about my beauty sleep. The Chosen was fairly fast paced with lots of emotional drama – like of the daytime TV variety. I can’t say that I liked all the characters; in fact I would characterize The Chosen as “the bag of jerks” installment as so many of the male characters were acting like ginormous misogynistic jerks. (In my head, I'm using another word in place of jerk - which begins with a D and precedes Van Dyke)
The main focus of The Chosen is the Layla and Xcor romance….which was nice. I’ve never really been in the BDB for the romance; I prefer the overall story and I like (most of) the characters in general. So I wasn’t swooning over Layla and Xcor – but given all the jerks running around – Xcor stood out as particularly decent. He was a very sympathetic character and I’m happy he got his HEA. I’ve never had a problem with Layla and I was glad she finally grew a set towards the end. I was frustrated with her in the beginning – basically taking Qhuinn’s crap – but that was because she was feeling so guilty and thinking she deserved his treatment.
Qhuinn on the other hand was a Level 10 King of the Jerks. His behavior was completely off the rails unacceptable. I’m calling bull on his excuse that he was “terrified because his young were in danger”. Because his young weren’t in danger. The “danger” was months in the past and since nothing bad happened and they were perfectly safe, that would suggest his assessment of “danger” was questionable at best. I’m not sure what Qhuinn’s deal was – other than being a thwarted control freak or having a clinically significant emotional instability. If he was genuinely worried about his young, he would not have had the reaction he did to his daughter – no way, no how. Worried my rear end. Lucky for him his “apology” to Layla was so spectacular because his behavior was on some levels unforgivable. He did give Blay an opportunity to shine, although I don’t understand how Blay was able to forgive him as easily as he did either.
Beth aka The Queen. I want to send her a memo to remind her that she is the Queen. I was appalled that she allowed Qhuinn to speak to her the way he did. Full stop. Unacceptable.
Wrath aka The King – managed to remain reasonable and decent. Truly worthy of the title and the position.
Then we have Tohr – also a Level 10 jerk. Yes he had a “reason” driving him to disobey the King’s order and obsess over some sort of vengeance. That “reason” did not require him to be a disrespectful. misogynist jerk to Layla. She was right – his Wellsie would be so proud.
And let’s not forget Whiny McWhiny Pants aka Vishous also a Level 10 jerk. Poor baby is so under-appreciated and neglected. Doc Jane is wearing herself to the bone (which is pretty impressive for a ghost) taking care of all the sick and injured….and she doesn’t have enough time to think about V. What’s he to do except get drunk off his tush and think about cheating. I mean Jane will never be free – there’s only her and Manny and nurse Ehlena on medical staff. Oh wait as a trained paramedic….V. could get off his fat, self-absorbed rear end and GO HELP! Then he could spend some quality time with his mate in a shared activity for the greater good and then maybe TALK TO HER about wanting them to have some downtime.
The Band of Bastards – Thank God for them; we are desperately in need of some male leads.
His Excellency, Eminence, Lassiter – Totally Not a jerk! Lassiter is going to rock his new position. I can’t say I was ever a fan of the Trez and Selena's s story; however continuing it with the Selena/Therese twist may prove interesting. It’s definitely going to be a showy coup for Lassiter – quite the bold statement as it were- highlighting his enhanced abilities. Also Trez is NOT a jerk – which has become my new barometer for wanting to see a character thriving and happy.
Throe Yeah he’s a jerk but who cares. He’s evil he’s supposed to be a jerk….and he’s sort of an equal opportunity jerk, not even a level 10 at that, and sadly he’s a boring jerk. I liked his parts of the story least – who knew evil could be so boring.
Looking forward to the next installment to see what Lassiter has up his sleeve and to get to know the Band of Bastards better. Could not care one iota what Vishous gets up to – but I’m betting he’s going to obsess over Jo – which will be how he finds out she’s – whatever she is -I think about to transition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. Excellent service by seller.
I have purchased the entire black dagger series. This book is one of the best in my opinion. I have gotten to know the characters which in itself is amazing. I am getting better at figuring out how things are going although sometimes there is a twist I miss. Highly entertaining series and I recommend it to anyone who likes adventure, intrigue and supernatural romance.

I thought it was a little slow to begin with. The it was an emotional rollercoaster that comes with Quinn and Blay and laugh out loud moment. Layla became the female of worth at last standing up for her rights and man. Loved it
