    R. Ward | Summary & Analysis This is a Summary & Analysis of The Shadows. Bestselling author JR Ward’s The Shadows continues the current tendencies of modern vampire fiction as TrezLath and iAm, as well as their friends and associates, stumble into and through romance. Their stumblings produce politically charged results that speak to the arcane bureaucracies associated with vampiric depictions since Rice and White Wolf and permit the kind of open violence to be expected of super-strong, long-lived, intelligent predators stalking the nights of a world not unlike that of readers. J. R. Ward’s The Shadows, continues the Black Dagger Brotherhood series into its thirteenth volume. In its main storylines, TrezLath and iAm both find their ways into romances that manage to reinforce their fraternal bonds. The former seeks to escape a predetermined stud-duty in no small part because of his falling into a love he ultimately loses, which the latter unexpectedly finds himself in love with a lover initially promised to another. Several other plot threads seem to flow from earlier volumes and suggest future works in the series, both in terms of personal investment and of political intrigue. This companion to The Shadows also includes the following: • Book Review • Story Setting Analysis of The Shadows • Story elements you may have missed as we decipher the novel • Details of Characters & Key Character Analysis • Summary of the text, with some analytical comments interspersed • Thought Provoking /or Discussion Questions for both Readers & Book Clubs • Discussion & Analysis of Themes, Symbols… • And Much More!

    The son of Neptune and a mortal woman, he’s spent millennia as an outcast of both worlds. As king of the ocean, all Julian wants to do is protect the denizens deep and drown the humans for their crimes against sea creatures. He doesn’t care about the Consortium of Chaos’s new jobs as “heroes.” He still hates everyone, which is kinda unfortunate since he’s just become the one person responsible for keeping the world safe. He’d probably just ignore the human’s plight and go for a swim, except the beautiful woman he’s been searching for for years has shown up to help fix his “image problems.” Which means Julian might have to actually pretend to be a hero, after all. Bridget: Bridget is a public relations specialist. Kind of. She’s not exactly at the top of her field, but she’s giving it her best shot. The curvy, average, dateless human is going to help Julian and his bizarre group of semi-insane, super-powered friends reach their full potential as heroes. And not JUST because he’s the handsomest man she’s ever seen. Years ago, Julian saved her life. In an age where good guys and bad guys seem way too much alike, Julian is the only person she’s ever seen act heroically. He can do anything. He just needs to believe that. …And stop telling all the humans that he’s going to conquer the planet. …And maybe not worry so much about seafood restaurants murdering his underwater subjects. …And actually pay attention to all the people trying to take over the city. New enemies are rising and nearly everyone else in the Consortium is MIA. Now, it’s up to Julian and the Consortium members who are too old, weird, evil, or headless to be invited on the REAL missions to save the city. Except they suck at it. Humans are whining about the death-toll, the Consortiums screw-ups are all over the news, and their evil garage sale isn’t helping to pay the bills. Bridget’s going to fix all that. She’s determined to make the world see them for the heroes they are. Julian’s certainly willing to go along with her ideas, no matter how many public appearances he has to make at elementary schools and shopping malls. He knows he’s a villain and he couldn’t care less about what the rest of humanity thinks, but he sure loves the idea of being a hero to Bridget.
