Book description
The seventh instalment in the biggest, funniest, most thrilling
comedy-horror-adventure series in the universe…
Magic is a disease.
Across the land, normal people are suddenly developing wild and
unstable powers. Infected by a rare strain of magic, they are
unwittingly endangering their own lives and the lives of the people
around them. Terrified and confused, their only hope lies with the
Sanctuary. Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are needed now more
than ever.
And then there's the small matter of Kitana. A normal teenage girl who,
along with her normal teenage friends, becomes infected. Becomes
powerful. Becomes corrupted. Wielding the magic of gods, they're set to
tear the city apart unless someone stands up against them.
Looks like it's going to be another one of those days… PRAISE FOR THE
SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT SERIES:
“This is a writer at the height of his powers and Landy is getting
better with every book… Whatever your age, read them and enjoy the
ride.” - Irish Independent
“Fast and funny” The Times
“A fast evolving plot and a great mix of scariness and humour” 5 star
review, Sunday Express Derek Landy is the author of the
internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series. He doesn't like
to brag about all the awards he's won, such as the Irish Book of the
Decade, or the Red House in the UK, or all the other awards that he
humbly displays on his mantelpiece. He is also far too modest to mention
things like the first book being a Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the
Year, but would like to extend an invitation to Oprah to pop around one
day for tea, in thanks for selecting his book for the Oprah's Book Club
Kids Reading List. Derek plays too many video games, reads too many
comics, and watches too many movies. He lives in Ireland with too many
cats and too many dogs. Occasionally he talks to real people, but only
when he absolutely has to.
