1943. As war sweeps across Europe, Max Carver's father moves his
family away from the city, to an old wooden house on the coast. But
as soon as they arrive, strange things begin to happen: Max
discovers a garden filled with eerie statues; his sisters are
plagued by unsettling dreams and voices; a box of old films opens a
window to the past. Most unsettling of all are rumours about the
previous owners and the mysterious disappearance of their son. As
Max delves into the past, he encounters the terrifying story of the
Prince of Mist, a sinister shadow who emerges from the night to
settle old scores, then disappears with the first mists of dawn . .
. Originally published in Spain as a young adult novel, THE PRINCE
OF MIST is a mesmerising tale of mystery, romance and adventure.
Following the massive success of the Demonata series, Darren Shan

vampire Larten Crepsley. Spanning centuries and continents, taking
in sea voyages, murder, war and love, this is the epic, bloodsoaked
tale of a vampire who started out a nobody...and ended up changing
the world forever. When Larten escapes the terrible workhouse in
which he toils, he doesn't know that he is running from an early
death...into another kind of transformation. After meeting the
mysterious vampire Seba Nile while sheltering for the night in a
crypt, Larten finds himself drawn into the shadowy world of the
vampire Clan. As he travels and learns, Larten finds himself
enjoying the adventure he has always dreamed of, seeing a world
beyond any he suspected in his poverty-stricken youth. But Larten
begins to discover something else, too. Much like death, becoming a
vampire is something you can't come back from...
