Where the World Ends is a historical fiction story of survival and resilience. Set in 1727 on the remote St Kilda archipelago in northern Scotland, the book follows a group of nine boys and three men who are abandoned on a sea stack while harvesting birds for an annual tradition. When the boat does not return after two weeks, the boys must confront fear, suffering, and death, and decide what makes life worth living.
