Written by Darren Shan. First U.S. edition, 2002. Little, Brown and Company, Hachette Book Group.
"Be careful who you trust. Even a supposedly close friend might be capable of betraying you. I found that out the hard way."
In Book 6, Darren Shan finds himself in grave danger after being betrayed and labeled a traitor by his own kind. Darren must navigate a treacherous path to clear his name and seek justice for the brutal slaying of his friend Gavner. His journey is not only a physical one but also an emotional battle as he grapples with his half-vampire identity and the moral dilemmas that come with it.
