Características

Sixteen year-old Ewan Mao knows one thing for certain: according to prophecy, its his destiny to kill the evil tyrant whose dark reign has terrorized Britain for as long as he can remember. Although hes just a normal boy, deep down Ewan is confident that he has exactly what it takes to be a hero. But when Ewans big moment comes and his best friend, the clever and talented Oliver Abrams, defeats the villain for him, Ewans bright future crumbles before his eyes.Five years later, while Ewan is living at home and working a minimum wage job, Oliver has a job as an Unusual in the governments Serious Magical Crimes Agency, the life he and Ewan always dreamed of. A routine investigation leads him and his partner, Sophie Stuart, to uncover a dangerous and powerful cult... one that seems to have drawn his former best friend into a plot to end the world.A deftly plotted, hysterically funny journey through magical London and beyond, A Hero at the End of the World expertly walks the fine line between satire and sincerity. Its sensitive depiction of a broken friendship and wry takedown of unfairly great expectations will appeal to all readers of modern fantasy.
