کتاب Palace of the Damned (رمان کاخ ملعون) (Book 3 of The Saga of Larten Crepsley)

Before Madame Octa . . . Before the Cirque . . . Before Darren Shan . . . Larten Crepsley was a young man. This is his story.

Larten Crepsley is beset with guilt. He has failed his mentor and the entire vampire clan. He no longer has the drive to live the vampiric life. Larten assumes the persona of a human, scraping together as normal a life as he can.

He gets a job, falls in love with a girl. But the darkness inside him is too great for the human world, and he is forced to make a choice: Hide in the shadows of humanity, or take his place among the vampire clan and protect those weaker than himself. But enemies are waiting, traps are laid, and Larten’s path is bound to be strewn with bodies.

A superb addition to the mesmerizing and terrifying world of Darren Shan and Cirque du Freak.
