Man I hate stories that start with the ending. It's such a killjoy. There's no meaning to it. Literally remove the first half of this chapter and you have a great novel start with a lot of intrigue. Instead we get an ending that is meaningless because it has no context, and directly tells us that everyone ends up dying. Why? How do you invest into a novel that actively discourages you from investing into its characters. If it isn't the ending of the novel, then clarify that. But right now it's such a deal-breaker. I just hate novels that don't give you a chance to experience their story.
