Phury has given endlessly of himself to others, both before joining the Black Dagger Brotherhood and as part of the elite group of vampire warriors. He strives to be what everyone needs of him, but such sacrifice ultimately comes at a price. Phury's price? Debilitating addictions that finally begin to take a deadly toll on his sanity and his health. These addictions only grow worse as he faces the ultimate sacrifice, having given himself in service to the Scribe Virgin as the Primale, whose duty is to breed with all of the Chosen and repopulate the dwindling ranks of the Brotherhood.
But this is one sacrifice Phury finds difficult to follow through with, especially as he finds himself unable to think of bedding any of the Chosen but his First Mate, Cormia, a female of worth so far above him that he finds her untouchable. That doesn't stop his longing for her, however, and proximity to the lovely Cormia only exacerbates his desire, driving him to extremes that will soon come to a head in dangerous ways.
While Phury struggles with his new role as Primale and his unexpected feelings for his First Mate, the Brotherhood is thrust into the thick of battle with the Lessening Society as the evil lessers gain new ground in their war upon the vampires.
Once again, J.R. Ward has run my emotions through the wringer, but in a way that keeps me coming back for more again and again. I simply cannot get enough of Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series! As with the previous editions in this ongoing saga, Lover Enshrined is not an easy read, but it is a gripping one.
With the sixth story of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, the author tells the story of Phury and Cormia as they both enter new worlds. Phury must learn to deal with his new role as Primale and the strange, controlled environment of Sanctuary, where he is revered by the Chosen. Cormia finds herself in a total sensory overload as she tries to cope with the wild, colorful world outside of Sanctuary. As each of them search for their place in these worlds, their journeys grow into a true searching of the soul for both as they discover who they really are and what their most heartfelt desires and needs truly are.
Alongside the main story of Phury and Cormia, we revisit many of the characters we have come to know, love, and wanted more of in previous stories. Many secrets are revealed in this book and just as many more intrigues are introduced.
We learn more about the Omega, and even read part of the story from his perspective.
John Matthew and his friends Blaylock and Qhuinn play a much larger role in this story, and we learn more about each of these characters, as we do their nemesis, Lash.
Zsadist and Bella return as her pregnancy advances and Zsadist realizes he must intervene with Phury's growing problems.
One of my favorite characters has a much bigger part in Lover Enshrined as we see more of Rehvenge and his myriad secrets.
We catch a few more glimpses of Xhex's life, but only enough to promise her a more prominent role in future stories. Still, the bits we see are definitely titillating...
There is more, of course, but I've told everything I can without giving spoilers. I certainly wouldn't want to ruin any surprises for other readers. Suffice it to say that I think other fans of this series will be as taken with this book as I am.
I cannot recommend Lover Enshrined highly enough. With an intense, gritty storyline infused with potent sensuality, Ms. Ward delivers a compelling tale that will keep you biting your nails on the edge of your seat while wiping away the occasional tear. Lover Enshrined packs plenty of surprises, and although it is an emotional read, it ultimately leaves the reader with hope for these characters' present and their future.
