Bashed against rocks, pummeled by the current and nearly drowned at every turn, Darren only barely manages to survive his wild white water experience in the subterranean river. Which is where this book picks up the tale. Rather than surrender to Kurda, Darren leapt into a rushing underground river and was swept away. That outcome led to Darren uncovering a sinister plot by a vampire named Kurda, soon to be appointed a Vampire Prince, and seemingly a wise, if unorthodox, leader - though in reality, a traitor who had led a legion of vicious vampaneze to the tunnels of Vampire Mountain. But when he came up against two maddened boars, his luck ran out, and only the intervention of a friend saved his life - only for the Vampire Council to rule that Darren had failed his last trial and should be put to death. As a half-vampire, Darren did exceptionally well, facing down an underwater maze, an underground ordeal, and a trial by fire. Darren Shan's adventure at Vampire Mountain continues in this third of a three-part installment in the saga of the young half-vampire.In the last book, Darren was subjected to the Rites of Initiation, a series of lethal trials that only the strongest and most worthy vampires could survive.
