Paperback

He’s dead. She’s deadly. The bad guys don’t stand a chance.

The eighth book in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series.

Two wars rage. One is a war between Sanctuaries – a war of loyalty and betrayal and last, desperate stands. The other is a war within Valkyrie Cain’s own soul. If she loses, Darquesse will rise.

And the world will burn.

Derek Landy
