At fourteen, Nick Gautier thinks he knows everything about the world around him. Streetwise, tough, and savvy, his quick sarcasm is the stuff of legends. . .until the night when his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior who has more fighting skills than Chuck Norris, the teenaged Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters: immortal vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity.
Nick quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one: a world where the captain of the football team is a werewolf and the girl he has a crush on goes out at night to stake the undead. But before he can even learn the rules of this new world, his fellow students are turning into flesh-eating zombies--and he's next on the menu.
As if starting high school isn't hard enough. . .now Nick has to hide his new friends from his mom, his chain saw from the principal, and keep the zombies and the demon Simi from eating his brains, all without getting grounded or suspended. How in the world is he supposed to do that?

Book Description Condition: new. Traduzione di Cazzolla G. Roma, 2011; ril., pp. 328, cm 15x23. (Teens International). A 14 anni Nick Gautier, un ragazzo come tanti, vive nel quartiere francese di New Orleans: ama frequentare le cattive compagnie, è attratto dall'illegalità e quello che ha imparato nella vita è frutto degli insegnamenti della strada. Una notte decide di comportarsi onestamente e si rifiuta di rapinare un turista innocente: una scelta che avrà un prezzo molto alto. Nick pensa di essere ormai spacciato e che la sua vecchia squadra non ci metterà molto a mettersi sulle sue tracce. e invece, inspiegabilmente, quella che sembra la fine di tutto si rivela l'inizio di una nuova vita. Kyrian di Tracia non è solo un comandante macedone a caccia di spietati demoni, è un Dark Hunter, e grazie a lui Nick si mette in salvo e conosce un mondo di cui non ha mai immaginato l'esistenza. I nuovi nemici fanno sembrare quelli vecchi dei veri incapaci: si tratta di uccidere o essere uccisi, e Nick, nato dalla parte sbagliata, trova dentro di sé una forza inaspettata e inizia a lavorare per i non-morti che popolano il suo quartiere. Il tempo stringe, e a lui non resta che trovare qualcuno disposto ad aiutarlo nella difficile battaglia contro i demoni che non risiedono dentro di lui. Nick stava proprio per tornare al club quando sentì uno strano rumore provenire dal vicolo. Sembrava un cane. No, era lo stesso suono che aveva sentito fuori dalla casa di Kyrian, prima. Il suono degli zombi che gli davano la caccia. Seller Inventory # 2078759
