Vampire Destiny is the fourth and final trilogy in The Saga of Darren Shan by author Darren Shan. The trilogy included The Lake of Souls, Lord of the Shadows and Sons of Destiny. This series goes more in depth on the Lord of Shadows and the future where he rules.
In the The Lake of Souls Darrren embarks with Little Person, Harkat Mulds to find Harkat's true identity. They are forced to do difficult tasks, but they later find the truth in the Lake of Souls. He is later identified, at the end of the book that Harkat is Kurda Smahlt (a vampire traitor) who betrayed the clan to save the vampires and vampaneze from the War of Scars. Even though Harkat met Kurda, he still exists.
In the Lord of the Shadows Darren and Harkat return to Darren's hometown, of which Darren finds out that his sister, Annie, has grown up and has a kid. Meanwhile, Darren and Harkat meet a boy who's name is Darius, and they take him around the Cirque Du Freak, and give him a free ticket. Later at a Cirque Du Freak concert, Tommy, Darren's friend from before he was a half vampire, is there and is later killed at a soccer game. Darren is badly injured by R.V. and Morgan James, and is going through the purge. Later at the end of the book, Debbie, Darren, Harkat, Vancha, Alice, and Evra go after Morgan James and R.V. when Shancus is kidnapped by R.V. and Morgan, and kidnapp Darius, who is revealed to be Steve's son (Mr. Tall is killed in the act, when Morgan James and R.V. come). When they are lured to the old cinema theater of which they first went to the Cirque. There they meet Steve, and work out a deal: Steve gives Shancus to Darren, and Darren gives Darius to Steve, however, Steve twists and breaks Shancus' neck, killing him. Steve and the other vampanezes and Morgan James escape, but not before Steve reveals that Darius IS Annie's son!
In the Sons of Destiny Darren goes to Annie's house and tells her about some parts of his vampire life, and that he never died, but became a vampire. After mutch catching up and talking, it is revealed that Annie had dated Steve and they had a baby, and Steve left them and never came back. Annie and Darius then flee to away from Darren, to avoid danger from Steve and the Vampaneze. However, before they do, Darren drinks the vampaneze blood in Darius (in the Lord of the Shadows, it is revealed that Steve blooded him) and they switch blood, making Darius a vampire, and Darren both vampire and a little vampaneze at the moment. Darren, Alice, Vancha, and Debbie go back to the Cirque Du Freak and a all out battle against the freaks and vampaneze begins. After a long duel, Darren kills Steve, and lets Steve kill him by angering Steve and saying "guess what Steve? I did want to be a vampire, and Mr. Crepsley turned me into one!". After mutch time later, Evanna, the witch, fishes Darren out of the Lake of Souls, and Mr. Tiny makes him a Little Person, and after a short period, Darren is to die. Mr. Tiny reveals that he is Darren and Steve's father, and tampered with time to make them go against each other to make the end of the world because he loves violence, and not mutch violence was going on with the humans. Mr. Tiny then sends Darren back in time, to the night where he and Steve first saw the Cirque Du Freak. There, Darren scares off young Darren from going to the balcony and discovering Steve wanting to be a vampire, and it is told that the world will replace Darren and Steve with other people, as Darren never found out of Mr. Crepsley being a vampire and never kidnapped Madam Octa. Darren, before dying, gives Mr. Tall (who is still alive, due to them being back in time) his diaries for young Darren to read and "change the names, and turn the diaries into a book, that way "they" can know how it really happened."
