City Trilogy

The City trilogy is a series of adult Horror-Thriller books by Irish author Darren Shan. The trilogy take place in a metropolis called The City, ruled by a crimelord only known as the Cardinal. The Books of the trilogy:
 * Procession of the Dead
 * Hell’s Horizon
 * City of the Snakes

The series are told from First Person Perspective, just like most of the Author's earlier works, with two tellers.

The first book tells the story of how the Cardinal manipulates Capac Raimi, testing him if he's a worthy successor. The second book's events are taking place during the same time period as the first's, but from the Point of View of Al Jeery, a soldier in the Cardinal's personal army, and The third books takes place ten years later than the first two, tieing the fates of the City, Raimi and Jeery together.
