The Saga Of Larten Crepsley
A 4 book series about Mr Crepsley's life before he met Darren Shan at the Cirque Du Freak. 200 years in the life of a tormented, valiant vampire. The second book, Ocean Of Blood, debuts in the UK and USA simultaneously on 28th April 2011.
Birth Of A Killer Larten Crepsley's life as a human ends one grey day in the factory where he has worked since he was eight years old... and his life as a vampire begins! The first of a four book series, this charts Larten's early years as a vampire's assistant, and his formative experiences once he is blooded. We meet some familiar faces from The Saga Of Darren Shan, along with new characters who were instrumental in his growth. It all starts here!!
Larten and Wester have cut themselves off from
their master, Seba Nile, to run with the Cubs, young vampires who have not yet fully committed to the demands of the clan. They drink and womanise their way across the world, and revel in warfare. Following the death of a friend, Larten and his blood-brother link up with Seba to resume their studies. After they meet with Evanna (and a familiar assistant!) for the first time, Seba takes the pair to Vampire Mountain to train. Larten makes swift progress, but he is unhappy in himself, and feels like he has abandoned the human world too soon. To Wester's dismay, Larten cuts short his studies and sets off by himself. Feeling lonely and purposeless, he is "adopted" by a young woman who has big plans for him. As they cross the world together, Larten has no idea of the dire dangers they will face when they board a ship bound for lands far away, across an ocean that will soon run red with human blood.
Palace Of The Damned
The third book in The Saga Of Larten Crepsley. *I couldn't find the plot outline, I guess Mister Darren Shan is still working on it. It doesn't have an specific cover yet, just drafts. *
I got this information from the Darren Shan Official web page http://www.darrenshan.com. I didn't include the author's notes from each book but if you desire to read them, please go ahead and click on the link above (:
Fangirl notes: OMG!!! Definitely Larten was by far my favourite character from the whole Cirque Du Freak saga, and I'm so excited cause I just got Birth of a killer and all I can say is that YOU MUST read it.
