Department 19: Darkest Night is the fifth and final book in the Department 19 series by Will Hill.

Description

The brave men and women of Department 19 have fought Dracula at every turn, but now Zero Hour has passed and the ancient vampire is at full strength.

Inside Department 19, the Operators are exhausted and fractured. Jamie, Larissa, Matt and Kate are each struggling with their own demons. When the friends need each other most, they are further apart than ever.

Outside the Department, the world reels from the revelation that vampires are real. Violence and paranoia spread around the globe and, when it finally comes, Dracula's opening move is more vicious than anyone could have imagined.

A final battle looms between the forces of darkness and the last, massed ranks of those who stand against it. A battle that will define the future of humanity. A battle that simply cannot be lost...

Opening quotes

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening



We have learned to believe, all of us ‒ is it not so? And since so, do we not see our duty?
Yes! And do we not promise to go on to the bitter end?

Abraham Van Helsing, Bram Stoker's Dracula

Trivia

  • Chapter 32 and 43 share the same title.
  • "Down the Rabbit Hole" (chapter 37) is most likely a reference to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
  • Carcassonne (chapter 41) is a fortified town in France.
  • "Sins of the Father" (chapter 45) is also the title of chapter 2 of Department 19.
  • "Dulce et Decorum est" (chapter 58) is Latin and means "It is sweet and honorable..." It's also the title of a poem written by Wilfred Owen, which Owen had taken from a line of Roman poet Horace's Odes. The actual line is "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" ‒ "It is sweet and honorable to die for one's country."
  • "After the Fire" (chapter 71) shares the name with Will Hill's new novel.
