With the
end of
the
world
approaching,
there's
only one
thing
Darren
Shan can
do.
He
returns
to his
childhood
home.
Darren
knew
that
things
would
change
in the
time he
was away
becoming
a
Vampire
Prince
and
fighting
the war,
but he's
forgotten
how
quickly
things
can move
in the
human
world.
His best
friends
from
school
are now
adults.
His
parents
have
moved
out of
their
home and
his
sister
had a
baby.
The
mayhem
from the
wars
doesn't
seem to
have
affected
Darren's
hometown
much.
Life
around
the
Cirque
du Freak
is
mostly
uneventful
until a
childhood
friend
of
Darren's
is
attacked
by the
vampaneze.
On the
scene of
the
attack
are the
leaders
of the
vampaneze,
including
Steve
Leopard
and
Gannen
Harst,
and a
strange
little
boy
named
Darius.
Darren
knows
that he
or Steve
must
become
the Lord
of the
Shadows,
but the
question
is: Who
will win
the
final
battle?
How can
the
vampires
fight
against
the
human
armies
recruited
by the
vampaneze?
The War
of the
Scars is
crucial
to the
destiny
of
vampires,
vampaneze
and
humans.
Darren
has the
power to
change
it all
if he
doesn't
die in
the
attempt.
All of
your
favorite
characters,
from
Vancha
March to
Evanna
the
witch,
are back
for the
penultimate
episode
of
Darren
Shan's
vampire
coming
of age.
Even
though
Darren
believes
the war
could go
on for
another
50 or 60
years,
there
are
still
plenty
of
battles
and
tragedy
here.
Darren,
fearful
for his
humanity,
and
Steve,
willing
to use
whatever
violent
means
are
necessary
to win
the war,
are
ready
for
their
final
showdown
and what
promises
to be a
thrilling,
bloody
series
conclusion.
