The Black Dagger Brotherhood
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York,
there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers.
There also exists a secret band of brothers like no other -
six vampire warriors, defenders of their race.

As a result of selective breeding within the race, Brothers possess immense physical and mental strength, as well as rapid healing capabilities. They are not siblings for the most part and are inducted into the Brotherhood upon nomination by the Brothers. Aggressive, self-reliant and secretive by nature, they exist apart from civilians, having little contact with members of the other classes except when they need to feed. They are the subject of legend and the object of reverence within the vampire world.
The Black Dagger Brotherhood series tells of these highly trained vampire warriors who protect their species against the Lessening Society. Members of the Lessening Society are called Lessers; de-souled humans who target vampires for extermination. Lessers must be stabbed through the chest in order to be killed, otherwise they are ageless. They do not eat or drink and are impotent. Over time, their hair, skin and irises lose pigmentation until they are blonde, blushless and pale-eyed. They smell like baby powder. Inducted into the Society by the Omega, they retain a ceramic jar into which their heart is placed after removal.
The Brotherhood:
Wrath is the King of the vampire society. He is the last pureblood vampire remaining. Essentially blind, he is the leader who is not willing to lead. His story is told in Dark Lover.
Rhage is the strongest and most beautiful of the Brothers. Cursed by the vampire's deity, The Scribe Virgin, he is possessed of a dark side that is a danger to everyone. His story is told in Lover Eternal.
Zsadist is the scarred, menacing one. Taken as an infant from his family, he's forced into slavery until his twin, Phury, rescues him. His story is told in Lover Awakened.
Vishous is the most intelligent and the one who is specially gifted. His curse is his ability to prognosticate: he sees the future, though not the 'when' of events so he is tortured by his inability to save those he loves from danger. Tattooed over his eye, his genitals, and on his hand, he has the ability to disintegrate objects with a blast of energy from his hand. His story is told in Lover Unbound.
Tohrment took over leadership of the Brotherhood when Wrath took the throne. He is the steady one, the calm one.
Phury is Zsadist's twin brother and a celibate who cannot truly live because of everything his biological brother has lost. Used to giving rather than receiving, he needs love coming back at him to bring him alive. Phury is incredibly loyal to his brother, even shooting off his own leg to save his twin.His story is told in Lover Enshrined.
Butch is the only human to be allowed within the Brotherhood. He lives at the "Pit", a two bedroom house a ways from the mansion where the King and other Brother's reside, with Vishous and he is a friend to all the warriors. An ex-homicide detective, he was lovingly given the nickname "Cop" by the vampires. His story is told in Lover Revealed.
