YOU ARE NOT READY
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.
Ausgangssperre in Roarhaven! Der neue Oberste Magier Damocles Creed ergreift schwerwiegende Maßnahmen, um alle Zauberer zur Kirche der Gesichtslosen zu bekehren. Und das bedeutet: Millionenfacher Tod für alle Sterblichen. Skulduggery und Walküre gehen in den Widerstand. Nichts scheint Creed aufhalten zu können und langsam läuft ihnen die Zeit davon … Und wenn sie schneller wären als die Zeit? Mit Hilfe eines Sensitiven reist Walküre 72 Jahre in die Zukunft. Und trifft dort nicht nur auf einen sehr veränderten Skulduggery, sondern auch auf ihr eigenes, dunkles und bösartiges Ich und auf ihre kleine Schwester Alison, die sich hier Malison nennt und als das 'Kind der Gesichtslosen' entpuppt.
Was kann Walküre tun, um diese Zukunft zu verhindern?

In a matter of days, the world will change.
Billions of lives will be wiped away in a final, desperate search for the Child of the Faceless Ones — she who is destined to bring about the return of humankind's ancient overlords.
To prevent this, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have one last – terrible – option: the assassination of Damocles Creed.
