How Belador Began
Dianna Love, initially in collaboration with Sherrilyn Kenyon, launched the Belador series in 2010 with Blood Trinity. Inspired by a love for urban fantasy and mythology, Love crafted a world where ancient gods, shifters, and witches collide in modern-day Atlanta. The series evolved from a co-authored project to Love’s solo venture after the fourth book, allowing her to deepen the mythology and character arcs. Her background in high-stakes thrillers infused Belador with relentless pacing and vivid stakes.
The Heart of Belador
The series kicks off with Blood Trinity, where Evalle Kincaid, an Alterant (half-Belador, half-unknown), fights to clear her name in a supernatural murder case while uncovering her mysterious origins. Alterant, the second book, sees Evalle hunting escaped creatures to save her Belador kin, grappling with trust and betrayal. Later, Dragon King of Treoir introduces Daegan, a dragon king, shifting the series toward epic leadership struggles. Belador Cosaint dives into Vladimir Quinn’s quest to find his daughter amidst magical chaos.
Belador’s themes of loyalty, identity, and sacrifice shine through its diverse cast. Evalle’s journey as an outcast resonates with readers, while the Atlanta setting—alive with demons, covens, and a Tribunal of deities—grounds the fantastical in a gritty urban vibe. Love’s style blends fast-paced action with emotional depth, making each book a balance of adrenaline and heart. The series’ mythology, rooted in Celtic and Slavic lore, adds layers of intrigue.
Why Belador Resonates
Belador has carved a niche in urban fantasy, praised for its strong female lead and ensemble cast. Fans on Goodreads rave about its “edge-of-your-seat” pacing and Evalle’s relatable grit. The series’ focus on hidden supernatural societies mirrors real-world themes of belonging and resilience, earning it a loyal following. Its Atlanta backdrop, a character in itself, sets it apart from generic fantasy settings, while Love’s ability to evolve the series keeps it fresh.
Though not as mainstream as some fantasy giants, Belador’s impact lies in its dedicated fanbase and its influence on character-driven urban fantasy. Its blend of mythology and modern stakes continues to inspire readers seeking immersive worlds.
