The Black Dagger Brotherhood is an ongoing series of paranormal romance books by author J. R. Ward. The series focuses on a society (the "Black Dagger Brotherhood") of vampire warriors who live together and defend their race against Lessers, de-souled humans who threaten their kind. The first book in the series was published in 2005.
Ward's Fallen Angels series is in the same universe, and has some overlap in characters, but little overlap in storylines.
Famous quotes containing the words black, dagger and/or brotherhood:
“Thus while I sit and sigh the day
With all his borrowd lights away,
Till nights black wings do overtake me,
Thinking on thee, thy beauties then,
As sudden lights do sleepy men,
So they by their bright rays awake me.”
—Sir John Suckling (16091642)
“Hath no mans dagger here a point for me?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I dont believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesnt want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but Im not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesnt know how to return the treatment.”
—Malcolm X (19251965)
