Brothers to the Death - Darren Shan

Set several years after Palace of the Damned, this chapter of Larten’s tale opens with him in a rare moment of peace. With a young vampire under his guidance, a surrogate family in Paris, and meaningful duties as a Vampire General, Larten experiences a contentment he has never truly known.

But when a name from his troubled past resurfaces, that fragile stability shatters. Drawn back into a cycle of violence and turmoil, he embarks on a dangerous journey across the world in pursuit of a mysterious and elusive enemy.

Though his reputation among the vampire ranks continues to grow, Larten feels more isolated and broken than ever. Believing he has reached his lowest point, he soon discovers that his darkest and most devastating hour still awaits him.
