Prediction of the Sequel to the Vampire Prince

I have just finished another wonderful book by Darren Shan called Cirque Du Freak Hunters of The Dusk which was the sequel to Cirque Du Freak Vampire Prince. The sequel to Hunters of The Dusk is the book Cirque Du Freak Allies of the Night and I predict in the next book  that Darren and Mr.Crepsley will find the Lord of the Vampaneze but will make a fail attempt to kill him leaving Darren and Mr.Crepsley only 2 chances left to kill the lord and I also predict that Darren and Mr.Crepsley will run into more vampires to help them in the quest to find the Vampaneze Lord. Darren will also probably mature more throughout the next book and improve on fighting skills because in the past books  Darren lacks fighting skills and always in need of help when he is fighting an opponent by himself and his opponents are almost always more skilled than him in fighting.
