It's only a few months since Gregor and Boots returned from the Underland, leaving their mother behind to heal from the plague. Gregor must summon all his power to end the biological wrfare that threatens the fate of every warmblooded creature. It is spreading fast, and when it claims one of Gregor's family, he begins to truly understand his role in the Prophecy of Blood. Gregor and Boots must return to the Underland to help ward off a plague. Recognizable by its tremendous size and snow-white coat, the Rat King is destined to bring a World War to the Underland. Spies have reported the sighting of a Rat King in the Underland, a character who has been legendary since the Middle Ages. When eleven-year-old Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats and giant cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans.
