The second cycle of the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series comes to a thrilling end. You are not ready...
The Faceless Ones have returned to our universe. The bad guys have won.
With the end of everything just days away - and no longer able to rely on Valkyrie Cain - Skulduggery must make allies of enemies if he's going to stand any chance of saving what's left of the world. And just when things are looking their bleakest,they manage to get even worse,with Omen Darkly suddenly having to step up when his brother,the Chosen One,falls.
There's a lot going on. Most of it is bad. Sorry about that.

Derek Landy
As the helmsman of the wildly-successful Skulduggery Pleasant series,Derek Landy exchanged a life as a sometime writer of screenplays to,almost overnight,becoming one of the world's biggest names in children's fiction. Debuting in 2007,Skulduggery Pleasant took its readers on a wild ride to the undead,where the niece of a famous horror writer suddenly discovers that what he was writing wasn't so fictional after all. In 2015,Landy briefly stepped away from his Skulduggery duties to pen a fresh trilogy for young adults,Demon Road,and as something of a Whovian,contributed a tale to the Doctor Who collection 12 Doctors 12 Stories.
