    About this audiobook

    The ninth book in the original, jaw-droppingly stupendous Skulduggery Pleasant series.

    Valkyrie. Darquesse. Stephanie. The world ain’t big enough for the three of them. The end will come…

    The War of the Sanctuaries has been won, but it was not without its casualties. Following the loss of Valkyrie Cain, Skulduggery Pleasant must use any and all means to track down and stop Darquesse before she turns the world into a charred, lifeless cinder.

    And so he draws together a team of soldiers, monster hunters, killers, criminals… and Valkyrie’s own murderous reflection.

    The war may be over, but the final battle is about to begin. And not everyone gets out of here alive…

    Derek Landy

    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."
