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.
