PLOT
OUTLINE
Book 6 of The Saga Of Darren Shan. A close friend butchered. A shocking secret revealed. The vampire clan under threat of extinction.
Only one ally of the clan knows the whole truth. Only one humble half-vampire can prevent an all-out catastrophe. But rather than surrendur to a two-faced would-be Prince, he has abandoned himself to the waters of Vampire Mountain, and faces an almost certain death. Even if he survives his terrifying trip to the heart of the savage mountain, how can he possibly avert the coming calamity -- for he has been declared unworthy of being a vampire, and has been sentenced to death by those he wishes to save ...
The Vampire Prince is the stunning final book of a gruelling, 3-part Darren Shan adventure -- but The Saga Of Darren Shan will continue in Book 7 : Hunters Of The Dusk
AUTHOR
NOTES
I really
enjoyed
writing
this
book. It
was
great to
tie up
all
(well,
most
of!) the
plot
lines of
the
"Vampire
Mountain"
storyline,
to
explain
why
Kurda
did what
he did,
to bring
the
vampaneze
fully
into the
plot,
set up
the rest
of the
Saga,
etc.
Fun!!!
I went
for the
different
style at
the
beginning
to
convey
the
urgency
and
speed of
the
situation
-- to
make it
seem
more
dangerous.
I liked
the
choppy,
immediate
style,
and used
a
variant
of it
some
years
later
when I
came to
write
"Lord
Loss".
I
thought
there
might be
some
negative
reaction
to
Darren
suckling
the
she-wolf
-- angry
parents
saying
their
kids
shouldn't
be
reading
books
where a
child
sucks a
wolf's
nipple!!
But so
far
there
hasn't
been.
I love
the
final
line of
the
book!!!
It
always
brings a
smile to
my face
whenever
I glance
at it!
