What to expect
The nightmare continues for the new vampire's assistant in the second installment of the New York Times bestselling Saga of Darren Shan.
Darren Shan was just an ordinary schoolboy until his visit to the Cirque du Freak. Now, as he struggles with his new life as a vampire's assistant, he tries desperately to resist the one temptation that sickens him, the one thing that can keep him alive. But destiny is calling. The Wolf Man is waiting.
