THE CHOSEN ONES are about to start their second year in senior high school. The whole summer break they have held their breaths waiting for the demons' next move. THE CHOSEN ONES are tied even closer together and are once again reminded that magic cannot ease unhappy love or mend broken hearts...

Hva ville du gjort om det var fire uker til en komét traff jorden? Du er sytten år gammel. Det er sommer og verden er akkurat som før. Men du vet hva som kommer til å skje. Om en måned er vi alle borte. Hvordan føles det å vite eksakt hvilket klokkeslett du skal dø på? Hva vil du gjøre den siste tiden? Og hvem vil du gjøre det sammen med? "Slutten" er fortellingen om Lucinda og Simon - to ensomme unge mennesker som lever på lånt tid. En tragisk hendelse binder dem sammen, og jakten på svar vokser til en felles besettelse. Men vil de rekke det før himmelen blir hvit og alt er slutt? Til tross for det mørke temaet er "Slutten" mer enn en preapokalyptisk dystopi. Det er også en sterk kjærlighetsfortelling, og en roman som gir leseren anledning til å filosofere over hvem vi er, over menneskets plass i verden, og hva vi gjør med kloden vår. "Årets mest spennede og mest hjerteskjærende bok." Dagens Nyheter

Tilda’s former best friend Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer, and  she has retreated into herself, preparing for the inevitable. Suddenly facing down a death that makes her the same as everyone else, she longs to connect again but doesn’t quite know where to start. Reaching out to her former best friend Tilda seems like a good first step. Then Tilda is found dead and accusations start circling that Simon is the killer. As the days tick down, Simon and Lucinda want to know the truth, but the more they uncover about the final days of the girl they both cared for deeply, the clearer the things that really matter become.  Probing the question How would you spend your last days if you knew exactly when they’d run out?, The End is a taut and riveting pre-apocalyptic thriller underpinned with sharp social commentary, that blends the urgency of Neal and Jarrod Shusterman’s Dry with the dark tension of Courtney Summer’s Sadie

On the Baltic Sea, no one can hear you scream. A summer thriller, perfect for fans of Stephen King and John Ajvide Linqvist.
