The battle for the survival of the vampire world was over a long time ago with the brilliant planning of the Vampire Prince. He solved every riddle and went beyond his boundaries to pull the result of the battle on his side. Harkat is the next thing that strikes Darren on his way, the two become friends very quickly and then they set a common goal. Both go on a wild mission to investigate the truth about Harkat’s past. Harkat does not know anything about him and thus lives in the present all the time.
The only solution to his problem lies in the core of the Lake of Souls but finding the lake is not as easy as it looks. There are monsters in the way like evil beasts that can fly sky high in seconds. Lake of Souls is also not a fairyland of course; the lake has the souls of the dead in it and with those souls lie all the evil that the souls had. The water of the lake can provide answers to unanswerable questions but again it is as deadly as death for everyone that comes near. Creator of Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare and Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant i.e Darren Shan mesmerizes us once again with another new tale.
It has come out of the blue suddenly because many thought that there was nothing more to discuss the vampire world now after the end of the trilogy. More variety could be observed showing that Shan still has material and Ralph Lister has the sparkling voice to narrate more and more of the vampire tales.
