It opens with a prologue, before the Stephanie chapter, and the first line is: "Mister Bliss didn't even hear the man sent to kill him, that's how good the assassin was."
The last line is one word: "Darquesse."

Oh wow... I just found the document containing the first complete draft of Skulduggery, dated January 30, 2006, and coming in at 122,302 words — so a little longer than Death Bringer.

I would pay a lot of money for early drafts of books/the series as a whole and alpha designs for characters... Just saying 👀

The Darquesse reveal was originally at the end of the first book? That makes me super interested to read it now!

I thank you for the changes because Gordon dying on the first page probably had a lot to do with why my niece ended up liking these so much.
Which might sound gruesome but
