The gut-wrenching sequel to the New York Times bestseller Cirque Du Freak, The Vampire's Assistant, and
Tunnels of Blood, Vampire Mountain continues the frightening saga of Darren Shan.
In Vampire Mountain, the next gruesome encounter for the vampire's assistant, Darren Shan and Mr.
Crepsley embark on a dangerous trek to the very heart of the vampire world. But they face more than the cold
on Vampire Mountain- the vampaneze have been there before them. Will a meeting with the Vampire Prince's
restore Darren's human side or turn him further toward darkness?
Every 12 years, the Vampire Generals and Princes gather in a faraway mountain, for the Council of Vampires.
This year, Darren Shan is going — he might not be coming back...
The road to Vampire Mountain is long and testing, but Mr. Crepsley must present Darren to the Princes for
their approval, and so the two leave the safety of the Cirque Du Freak and travel into the wilds,
accompanied by a pair of Mr. Tiny's Little People. They are joined along the way by an old friend, and some
four-legged predators. If they survive the arduous trek to the mountain, Mr. Crepsley will have to face the
Princes and Generals and explain his reasons for blooding a child. If they prove unacceptable, the
consequences for both Mr. Crepsley and Darren could be dire...
Set six years after Tunnels Of Blood, Book 4 of the Saga introduces many new characters; explains a
lot about vampires, their history and ways; and also reveals the shocking truth about the mysterious Little
People!
