Book description
Darren Shan, Mr Crepsley and Vancha Marsch, are the hunters of the
dusk. Their quarry - the Vampaneze Lord. But friends old and new may
stand in their way…
It is six years after Darren was made a Vampire Prince and following a
grim prophesy made by Mr Tiny, the vampires know the ascension of the
Vampaneze Lord is at hand. Mr Tiny warns the vampires that there will be
only three opportunities for the Vampaneze Lord to be vanquished and
only three vampires who may succeed: Vancha Marsch, Larten Crepsley… and
Darren Shan.
Leaving the enclave of Vampire Mountain, Harkat, Darren and Mr Crepsley
are shadowed by a creature of the night, do battle with the vampaneze,
meet the mysterious Evanna and pay a visit to some old friends at the
Cirque Du Freak. But no friend can prevent the bloody trail of bodies -
the Vampaneze Lord may be more than a match for the hunters of the dusk.
