Procession Of The Dead - COMPETITION!

This, the first volume of The City Trilogy, is a noirish, gritty, urban fantasy for adults from the bestselling author otherwise known as Darren Shan.

Quick-witted and cocksure, young upstart Capac Raimi arrives in the City determined to make his mark. As he learns the tricks of his new trade from his Uncle Theo - extortion, racketeering, threatening behaviour - he's soon well on his way to becoming a promising new gangster. Then he crosses paths with The Cardinal, and his life changes forever. The Cardinal is the City and the City is The Cardinal. They are joined at the soul. Nothing moves on the streets, or below them, without the Cardinal's knowledge. His rule is absolute. As Capac begins to discover more about the extent of the Cardinal's influence on his own life he is faced with hard choices. And as his ambition soars ever higher he will learn all there is to know about loss, and the true cost of ultimate power!

Best known for his children’s books, and now building on their success, Procession of the Dead (part of The City Trilogy) sees Shan’s first foray into adult literature start with a fast paced, shocking and exhilarating tale that introduces the adult reader to a dark fantasy world while following the journey of trainee-gangster Capac Raimi and his arrival in The City.

To celebrate the release of Shan’s Procession of the Dead, Harper Collins are giving one lucky winner and a friend the chance of a trip to Spain^* during the 'Day of the Dead' festival, when it is believed that it’s easier for the souls of the departed to visit the living. The festival originated in Mexico and is celebrated throughout various countries, including parts of Spain. The winner will also receive a copy of Procession of the Dead.
