[edit] Synopsis
As Darren predicted, he must face Steve alone in their final battle. Steve injures Darren badly, but Darren is able to deal a fatal stab. As Steve is dying, Darren learns that Mr. Desmond Tiny has manipulated most of his life. Steve and Darren have been controlled in many small ways by Mr. Tiny since their births, and Mr Tiny revealed the father-son relationship to Darren and Steve: Darren and Steve are brothers and Mr. Tiny is their father. Darren is determined that he will not be manipulated again, even if it means his own death. The way Darren sees it, the only way to avoid a lifetime of being controlled by Mr. Tiny is to take his destiny into his own hands, but he needs Steve's help to do it. He works Steve into a frenzy, tormenting him, and as Steve dies, he takes Darren with him.
When Darren emerges from his death, he's in the last place he ever wanted to be: the Lake of Souls. Memories of the past plague him, and he almost resigns himself to an eternity of insanity when he is pulled from the lake. Given one more turn at life, albeit a very different life than the one he's known, Darren is determined not to waste his chance to ensure the safety of humanity. He was released by Evanna, his sister. He travels back in time to a moment when he can change the future and free himself from the lake of souls and from Des Tiny's manipulative schemes to bring about the fall of humanity. As a Little Person he prevents his younger self from seeing the confrontation between Steve and Mr Crepsley and, shortly after, visits Mr. Tall, giving him the record of eighteen years of life as a half vampire, his diary, and asks him to send it to the human Darren Shan so that people may know of what happened to Darren Shan, the vampire prince. Shortly after this encounter with Mr Tall he dies, freeing his soul to paradise and saving earth from the wrath of the Lord of the Shadows..
