Product description

Following the shocking revelations of Dark Days, get ready for episode five of our skeleton sleuth’s adventures – guaranteed to be packed with bone-splintering thrills! Skulduggery Pleasant is back, and reunited with his original head. But all is not well in the magical world. Foreign powers are conspiring to take over the Irish Sanctuary. Meanwhile, our plucky heroine Valkyrie has discovered she might be the sorceress set to destroy the world. The problem is, she doesn’t feel she can tell Skulduggery! With Valkyrie on a secret quest to prevent her own evil destiny, Skulduggery and the gang are a warrior short. Which is a shame, because remember those thousands of remnants imprisoned in the Midnight Hotel? Well, now they’re out – and they believe Valkyrie is their messiah. That means thousands of wicked souls desperate to get to Valkyrie, willing to kill anyone in their way! Oh, and because they can possess anybody’s body, they could be ANYONE. Now Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other!

Derek Landy is the author of the bestselling, awardwinning Skulduggery books – the funniest dead detective ever!

Before writing his children’s story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, Derek wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous thriller in which everybody dies.

As a black belt in Kenpo Karate he has taught countless children how to defend themselves, in the hopes of building his own private munchkin army. He firmly believes that they await his call to strike against his enemies (he doesn’t actually have any enemies, but he’s assuming they’ll show up, sooner or later).

Derek lives on the outskirts of Dublin, and the reason he writes his own biography blurb is so that he can finally refer to himself in the third person without looking pompous or insane.
