Bec

Darren Shan's acclaimed Demonata series continues with more shocks, demons and thrilling twists in the chilling, Bec.

"I'm almost through the door when something breathes behind me, 'Beccccc...' I turn. I can't see anything but I know I'm not alone. I want to call for help but I can't. Then, in a blur, claws dart out of the darkness... a twisted face... fiery eyes... rows of teeth... the demon grabs me!"

As a baby, Bec fought for her life. As a trainee priestess, she fights to fit in to a tribe that needs her skills but fears her powers. And when the demons come, the fight becomes a war.

Bec's magic is weak and untrained, until she meets the druid Drust. Under his leadership, Bec and a small band of warriors embark on a long journey through hostile lands to confront the Demonata at their source.

But the final conflict demands a sacrifice too horrific to contemplate...
