On a desperate journey to recover her sister's lost soul, Valkyrie Cain goes up against the High Sanctuary itself, and there's nothing Skulduggery Pleasant can do to stop her. With Abyssinia's grand plan about to kick off in a night of magic, terror, and bloodshed, it falls to Omen Darkly to save the lives of thousands of innocent people. And as the madness unfolds around him, as hidden enemies step into the light, and as Valkyrie is sucked into a desperate, lawless quest of her own, he has no choice but to become the hero he never really wanted to be - or die in the attempt.

Skulduggery and Valkyrie are back in the 10th instalment in the best-selling Skulduggery Pleasant series, an incredible and unexpected treat for the legions of fans around the world. We can't say much, but we can say this: Skulduggery and Valkyrie are going to team up with beloved characters from the first nine books as well as an all-new cast, including new teen costar Omen Darkly, for an adventure that takes the story to truly global proportions while answering questions that go right back to the beginning.

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.

War has finally come. But it's not a war between good and evil or light and dark - it's a war between Sanctuaries. For too long, the Irish Sanctuary has teetered on the brink of world-ending disaster, and the other Sanctuaries around the world have had enough. Allies turn to enemies, friends turn to foes, and Skulduggery and Valkyrie must team up with the rest of the Dead Men if they're going to have any chance at all of maintaining the balance of power and getting to the root of a vast conspiracy that has been years in the making.

Ein Serienkiller treibt sein Unwesen in Roarhaven und Umgebung. Die Opfer verbindet auf den ersten Blick nichts miteinander, außer die sehr fantasievolle, detailverliebte Todesart. Skulduggery und Walküre tappen im Dunkeln, aber dann erhalten sie eine codierte Nachricht vom Täter. Der Mörder nennt sich "Ersatz" und will die Detektive offenbar testen.

Serienurknall in der Hölle! Wir befinden uns im Jahr 1703 in der Toskana. Dort hält sich gerade Skulduggerys Erzwidersacher Mevolent auf. An diesem wollen er und die Toten Männer sich endlich rächen, doch dann taucht der irische Großmagier Meritorius auf, der ihnen genau das Gegenteil aufträgt: Sie sollen Mevolent vor dem Attentäter Arbor Strickent beschützen. Denn Mevolent ist der einzige Zauberer, der die Porta dell‘ Inferno, einen Zugang zur Hölle, in dem eine zerstörerische Gottheit lauert, wieder schließen kann. Deshalb muss er am Leben bleiben - erst einmal.
