Overview
Until the End is Derek Landy's electrifying fifteenth instalment in the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series, delivering the thrilling conclusion to the second cycle. Packed with dark humour, razor-sharp dialogue, and relentless twists, this Sunday Times bestselling adventure sees old alliances shatter and unlikely heroes rise as the fate of the world hangs in the balance. A must-have for devoted fans and newcomers alike.
About the Book
The Faceless Ones have returned, and against all odds, the bad guys appear to have won. With catastrophe just days away and Valkyrie Cain no longer able to help, Skulduggery Pleasant faces his greatest challenge yet: forging alliances with sworn enemies if he's to have any hope of saving what remains of the world. Just as things seem as dark as they can get, they somehow get worse — Omen Darkly is forced to step out of the shadows and step up when his brother, the so-called Chosen One, falls. Derek Landy weaves together explosive action, wit, and heart-stopping stakes across 656 pages, bringing the second cycle of this beloved series to a suitably epic close. Long-time readers will recognise every hallmark of the series here: fast-paced set pieces, morally complicated characters, and dialogue that crackles with dark comedy even in the bleakest moments. New readers jumping in at book fifteen will find enough context to be swept along by the drama, though fans will get the most from the accumulated history of the wider Skulduggery Pleasant world. Praised by critics and beloved by hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide, this instalment cements the series' reputation as one of the most inventive and entertaining in contemporary YA and children's fiction.
