He must summon all his power to end the biological warfare, or the warmblood creatures of the Underground will die. Only then does he understand his role in the prophecy. When they arrive in the subterranean city, the plague is spreading - and one of Gregor's companions is stricken. With two prophecies fulfilled, Gregor is now focused on the Prophecy of Blood, which calls for Gregor and "the princess" Boots to return to the Underland to help ward off a plague. If Gregor does not fulfil the prophecy, his life - and the Underland - will never be the same. They descend into the dangerous Waterway in search of the Bane. Gregor's quest reunites him with his bat, Ares, and the rebellious princess Luxa. But he is destined to be a key player in another prophecy, this one about an ominous white rat called the Bane. Gregor swears he will never go back into the strange Underland beneath New York City. He must go on a quest that will change him - and the Underland - for ever. But then he discovers that a prophecy foretells a role for him in the Underland's future. There, humans live uneasily beside giant spiders, bats, cockroaches and rats. When eleven-year-old Gregor follows his little sister through a grate in the laundry room of his New York apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland beneath the city.
