Description
The bone-shaking new trilogy concludes - the latest adventure in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series
Magical society is about to be torn in two.
With an island of sorcerers ready to cut themselves off from the rest of the world, a terrorist group enjoying unprecedented public support, and a looming showdown between her sister and the Child of the Ancients, Valkyrie Cain only has time to focus on her most immediate dilemma: the daily fight to stay alive in a place where everyone wants to kill her.
This, once again, is the end.

Person
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."
