Fourteen-year-old sarcastic, street-savvy Nick is drawn into the world of the Dark-Hunters, but must hide his participation in the battle against werewolves, vampires, and zombies from his mother and high school principal
Nick Gautier ma 14 lat i jest zwyczajnym chłopkiem, kt�ry wpadł w nieodpowiednie towarzystwo. Gdy jednak przychodzi co do czego, Nick postanawia nie zejść na ścieżkę przestępstwa i odmawia napaści na niewinnych turyst�w. Koledzy zwracają się wtedy przeciwko niemu. Już się wydaje, że życie Nicka dobiega końca... gdy jednak rozpoczyna się nowe. Kyrian z Tracji nie jest zwykłym pogromcą wampir�w, lecz Mrocznym Łowcą, kt�ry wprowadza Nicka w nieznany, niewyobrażalny świat. Nick musi teraz stawić czoła innym wrogom, w por�wnaniu z kt�rymi starzy wyglądają jak mięczaki...
Ten dzień w życiu Nicka Gautiera chyba nigdy się nie skończy. Owszem, udało mu się przeżyć liczne ataki zombie, ale teraz obudził się w świecie zmiennokształtnych i demon�w czyhających na jego duszę. Nowy dyrektor jego szkoły ma o nim jeszcze gorsze zdanie niż poprzedni, a dziewczyna, z kt�rą nie chodzi, chociaż jakby chodzi, jest pełna tajemnic, kt�re go przerażają. Co więcej upatrzyły go sobie najmroczniejsze moce i jeśli do końca tygodnia Nick nie nauczy się ożywiać zmarłych, to sam trafi w ich szeregi.
When teenager Nick Gautier was saved from almost-certain death by a mysterious warrior, he had a feeling his life was set to change. Fighting the undead has taken the place of fighting with his teachers (well . . . almost) and Nick is learning to rely on his powers to protect the world from evil he could never before have imagined. Then, just when he thought things couldn't get any worse, he wakes up to find himself enslaved in a world of shapeshifters and demons out to claim his soul. He's being groomed by the darkest of powers and if he doesn't learn how to raise the dead by the end of the week, he will become one of them . . .
The world has fallen in love with Nick Gautier and the Dark-Hunters. Now Nick's saga continues in the next eagerly anticipated volume... Go to school. Get good grades. Stay out of trouble. That's the mandate for most kids. But Nick Gautier isn't the average teenager. He's a boy with a destiny not even he fully understands. And his first mandate is to stay alive while everyone, even his own father, tries to kill him. He's learned to annihilate zombies and raise the dead, divination and clairvoyance, so why is learning to drive and keep a girlfriend so dang hard? But that isn't the primary skill he has to master. Survival is. And in order to survive, his next lesson makes all the others pale in comparison. He is on the brink of becoming either the greatest hero mankind has ever known. Or he'll be the one who ends the world. With enemies new and old gathering forces, he will have to call on every part of himself to fight or he'll lose everyone he cares about. Even himself.
Nick has his driver's license and he's not afraid to use it. But turning sixteen isn't what he thought it would be. While other boys his age are worried about prom dates and applying for college, Nick is neck deep in enemies out to stop him from living another day. No longer sure if he can trust anyone, his only ally seems to be the one person he's been told will ultimately kill him. But life spent serving the undead is anything except ordinary. And those out to get him have summoned an ancient force so powerful even the gods fear it. As Nick learns to command and control the elements, the one he must master in order to combat his latest foe is the one most likely to destroy him. As the old proverb goes, fire knows nothing of mercy, and if Nick is to survive this latest round, he will have to sacrifice a part of himself. However, the best sacrifice is seldom the sanest move. Sometimes it's the one that leaves your enemies confused.
Nick Gautier, tired of his destiny, just wants to be normal but when he gets sucked into an alternate reality he begins to see that no life is free of pain, that every person has a specific place in the universe--even the son of a hated demon--and that his powers are not the curse he thought they were.
"Nick has finally accepted his fate, now he must learn to defy his destiny, and the dark, deadly forces that will stop at nothing to destroy everyone he loves so that they can again return to the world of man and own it"--
One boy. Many demons. Think your life is complicated and confusing? Nick Gautier was born to bring about the end of the world, it's not easy being the heir of a demon overlord. But Nick is determined to thwart his destiny and get into a good college. To be more than his genetics and prophecy foretell. No one is ever going to tell this stubborn Cajun who and what he really is. Or how to live his life. Not even the Fates of the Universe. But now that he and his team of ancient gods and demons have claimed the Eye of Ananke and he sees the missteps of the future, he has to battle the demons within that are far deadlier and more treacherous than any he's battled before. All the while his arch nemesis is back and determined to reclaim his place as the harbinger for Armageddon. Even if it means killing Nick and barbecuing everyone he loves to do so
"Just when Nick thinks he's finally gotten a handle on how not to take over the world and destroy it, Death returns with an all-star cast that is determined to end the Malachai reign and lineage forever. Worse? Death and War have found the one, true enemy Nick can't find, and even if he did, it's one he could never bring himself to banish or kill. Now framed for murders he hasn't committed, and surrounded by new friends who might be turncoats, Nick is learning fast how his father went down in flames"--Back of jacket.
