He’s dead. She’s deadly. The bad guys don’t stand a chance.

The ninth book in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series.

Following the loss of Valkyrie Cain, Skulduggery Pleasant must track down Darquesse before she turns the world into a charred, lifeless cinder. To do so, he assembles a team of soldiers, monster hunters, criminals, and Valkyrie’s now murderous reflection.

Not everyone gets out of this alive.

About the Author

Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead." www.skulduggerypleasant.com
