This shows Darren Shan 6 years after his last encounter with the vampaneze. Now that he is an active member in the vampire community (being a Vampire Prince), Darren once again is visited by Mr. Desmond Tiny. Their brief encounter sends a more experienced Darren Shan on a quest to find and kill the Vampaneze Lord, who is said to destroy the Vampire clan in a great war. This prophecy can be averted if, and only if, one of the three chosen vampire hunters could kill the Vampaneze Lord, and Darren is one of them along with Mr. Crepsley. The three hunters are predicted to encounter with the Lord 4 times; in the 3 times, the Vampaneze Lord will be at their mercy. If they fail to kill him, there will be one final encounter in which the outcome of the war will be decided. If 2 of them are killed, then the vampaneze will be victorious; but if the Vampaneze Lord is killed, then the vampires win. To find the third hunter, they must travel to Lady Evanna's who can help them on their quest. They will meet him half-way on their adventure. He sets out from Vampire Mountain with Mr Crepsley and Harkat Mulds. On the way to Evanna's , they meet the final member of their party, another prince, Vancha March (after encountering a small group of vampets, which are humans who fight with the vampaneze). Vancha March is a very traditional vampire, who dresses in animal skins and has green hair. He only sleeps on the ground, and fights only with shuriken. Upon meeting Evanna, Darren learns that after the war between the vampires and vampaneze is over, a great evil known as the Lord of Shadows will arise bringing horrible tragedy upon the world. Their actions cannot avert this from coming to pass, and all they can do is decide whom the Lord will be. If the hunters fail to kill the Vampaneze lord, he will rise to power(becoming the Lord of Shadows), but if they succeed, then Darren shall change into the most malevolent evil ever, if he wants to or not. After they leave Evanna's, the witch accompanying, they go back to the Cirque Du Freak where they feel their true quest and worries will begin. At the Cirque du Freak, Darren learns that Evra got married and gave birth to 3 children. One night, Darren follows Evanna into the woods as she meets up with a group of vampaneze. The hunters (Vancha, Crepsley, and Darren) move in and attack the vampaneze. While fighting, Vancha notices a vampaneze and a hooded vampaneze and hesitates to kill the vampaneze as he flits away with the servant. Vancha reveals that the vampaneze was his brother Gannen Harst. Evanna explains herself and explains that she was talking with the vampaneze. She also reveals that the hooded vampaneze was actually the Vampaneze Lord, now giving the hunters only 3 more chances to find him and kill him. Darren, Larten, and Vancha then leave the Cirque to find the Vampaneze Lord.
