The Cirque du Freak: The Saga of Darren Shan Series - Book 4
Vampire Mountain
“Having tracked a horror-movie-stereotype vampire in their previous adventure, Darren and his master, Larten Crepsley, take another hiatus from the bizarre circus of the series title to make a pilgrimage to the Halls of Vampire Mountain to meet with the generals and princes in charge…This fourth entry marks a definite transition, a critical segue into adventures to come that will revolve around Mr. Tiny’s foreboding and Darren’s impending Trials of Initiation.”
Library Journal
In the fourth book of the bestselling Cirque du Freak series, Darren Shan begins a grueling, three-part adventure.
Darren has settled into life as a vampire's assistant and feels at home in the Cirque du Freak. But now he must leave the freak show and his friends behind. With Mr. Crepsley as a traveling companion, he embarks 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 Princes restore Darren's human side or turn him further toward the darkness? Only one thing is certain: Darren's initiation into the vampire clan is more deadly than he can ever have imagined.
