What to expect
He’s dead. She’s deadly. The bad guys don’t stand a chance.
The seventh book in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series.
Magic is a disease. Across the land, normal people are suddenly developing wild and unstable powers. Wielding the magic of the gods, they’re set to tear the city apart, unless someone stands up to them.
For Skulduggery and Valkyrie, it’s going to be another one of those days.
‘A thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure’ Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

-
‘I don’t know how Derek Landy does it, but each of his Skulduggery Pleasant novels surpasses the one that came before, and Kingdom of the Wicked is no exception. A stunning novel from page 1 to the last word’ The Founding Fields
