READ BY RUPERT DEGAS. It’s the fourth Skulduggery Pleasant adventure… only Skulduggery Pleasant himself is lost on the other side of a portal, with only some evil gods for company. Can he possible survive? (Yes, all right, he’s already dead. But still.) What can we say, without giving too much away? Not much, is the answer. But what we CAN say is that this book is hilarious, it’s tense, and it’s packed with all the eye-popping action, crackling one liners and imaginative set pieces you’ve come to expect. There’s a new threat to our plucky heroine, of course. But that’s not all. There’s also the little fact of the Big Bad, the uber-baddy who’s going to come along and really, really destroy the world. (Really.) And what we learn about that villain in this book will literally make your jaw fall off and your hair go white with shock. (Not really.) Will Skulduggery make it out of the Faceless Ones’ dimension? Who knows. The problem is, he may not have much to come back to…

Just when you think you’ve saved the world… "You will kill her?" the Torment asked. Skulduggery sagged. "Yes." He hesitated, then took his gun from his jacket. "I'm sorry, Valkyrie," he said softly. "Don't talk to me," Valkyrie said. "Just do what you have to do." Valkyrie parted her tunic, and Skulduggery pointed the gun at the vest beneath. "Please forgive me," Skulduggery said, then aimed the gun at the girl and pulled the trigger. With Serpine dead, the world is safe once more. At least, that’s what Valkyrie and Skulduggery think, until the notorious Baron Vengeous makes a bloody escape from prison, and dead bodies and vampires start showing up all over Ireland. With Baron Vengeous after the deadly armour of Lord Vile, and pretty much everyone out to kill Valkyrie, the daring detective duo face their biggest challenge yet. But what if the greatest threat to Valkyrie is just a little closer to home…?

The thirteenth thrilling novel in the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series, SEASONS OF WAR will test the Skeleton Detective and Valkyrie like never before…War is coming. To avert catastrophe, Skulduggery and Valkyrie are sent on a secret mission that takes them away from everything they know, to a forsaken land of magic and grim, unrelenting terror. It is here that Valkyrie will have to fight the hardest — not only against the enemies who want her dead, but also against her own self-destructive impulses. It's only by crawling through darkness that she'll be able to once again stand in the light…

The 12th explosive novel in the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series, BEDLAM will blow your mind – and change everything… 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.

Following the shocking revelations of DARK DAYS, get ready for the fifth instalment of the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series – guaranteed to contain at least 40% humour, 50% action, and 100% thrills… "The blonde girl with the black lips turned to Valkyrie.

We know you're going to kill the world…'" Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back – just in time to see their whole world get turned upside down… While they struggle to protect a known killer from an unstoppable assassin, Valkyrie is on a secret mission of her own. This quest, to prevent her dark and murderous destiny, threatens to take her to the brink of death and beyond. And then the body-snatching Remnants get loose, thousands of twisted souls who possess the living like puppets, and they begin their search for a being powerful enough to lead them. Facing such insurmountable odds, Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other…

Mortal Coil

The sixth instalment in the historic, hysterical and horrific Skulduggery Pleasant series. Think you’ve seen anything yet? You haven’t. Because the Death Bringer is about to rise… The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and that’s a Good Thing. There’s just one catch.

And that’s a very, very Bad Thing…

When it restarted, blinking back into existence, it brought with it a darkness that remains hidden from the mortal population. A week ago – fuelled by unimaginable hatred and unstoppable rage – a masked sorcerer killed one of those mortals. Then he killed another. And another. With their time running out, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain must work to solve the puzzles the killer leaves behind before more innocents die, embarking on a journey that will force them to deal with the apocalypse they failed to prevent the first time around. AND MURDER. LOTS AND LOTS OF MURDER.

With the body count rising, a special night approaches – a night where the elite of sorcerer society will gather on a remote island to witness a ceremony that could change that society forever.

Und trifft dort nicht nur auf einen sehr veränderten Skulduggery, sondern auch auf ihr eigenes, dunkles und bösartiges Ich und auf ihre kleine Schwester Alison, die sich hier Malison nennt und als das "Kind der Gesichtslosen" entpuppt. Was kann Walküre tun, um diese Zukunft zu verhindern? Zurück in die Zukunft mit dem Bentley statt einem DeLorean: Im vorletzten Band der Skulduggery-Pleasant-Reihe treibt Derek Landy den Wahnsinn noch einmal auf die Spitze. Mit gewohnt kunstvoller Stimmvielfalt erweckt Rainer Strecker den Kult zum Leben.

Tot oder lebendig - Skulduggery Pleasant, Teil 14 (gekürzt)

Rettet Skulduggery! Seit der großen Schlacht ist Skulduggery in der Welt der Gesichtslosen verschwunden. Nur ein Wunder kann ihn jetzt noch retten oder Walküre: Sie muss ganz schnell seinen Kopf finden, der ihm einst von drei Kobolden in Irland gestohlen wurde. Während Walküre um die halbe Welt reist, wird der Magier Skarabäus nach 200 Jahren Gefängnis entlassen. Zwar hat er seine Zauberkräfte verloren, doch seine Rachelust ist ungebrochen. Sofort schart er einen Kreis der schlimmsten Verbrecher um sich. Sie alle können Skulduggerys Rückkehr kaum erwarten denn jeder Einzelne von ihnen hat noch eine Rechnung mit ihm offen

Sabotage im Sanktuarium - Skulduggery Pleasant, Teil 4 (gekürzt)

SKULDUGGERY ist zurück! Eine neue Staffel beginnt. Omen Darkly ist nur ein unscheinbarer, mittelmäßiger Schüler an der Corrival-Akademie in Roarhaven, der Metropole der Zaubererwelt. Anders als sein Zwillingsbruder Auger, der Auserwählte, der schon viele spannende Abenteuer erlebt hat. Dennoch ist es Omen, der von Skulduggery Pleasant, dem Skelettdetektiv, und Walküre Unruh einen Auftrag erhält. Einer seiner Lehrer hat einen Geheimbund gegründet, der das friedliche Nebeneinander von Zauberern und Sterblichen gefährdet. Und da soll Omen sich mal umhören. Nur kurz! Und ganz unauffällig, versteht sich, damit er ja nicht in Gefahr gerät. Ein Plan an dem fast nichts schiefgehen kann.

Auferstehung - Skulduggery Pleasant, Teil 10 (gekürzt)

Die Rückkehr der Gesichtslosen. Skulduggery, seine Schülerin Walküre Unruh und ihre Freunde kämpfen gegen undurchsichtige Feinde und deren düsteren Plan. Ein Teleporter nach dem anderen wird umgebracht. Wer steckt dahinter? Gut, dass Stephanie ihr Spiegelbild hat, das für sie in die Schule geht und die Hausaufgaben macht. Denn wie soll sie sich vormittags auf Geometrie konzentrieren, wenn sie nachmittags eine Mordserie aufklären muss? In ihrem neuesten Fall müssen Skulduggery und Stephanie einen jungen Teleporter namens Fletcher Renn beschützen. Dumm nur, dass der sich als Nervensäge entpuppt und dass ihnen nicht nur die Diablerie im Nacken sitzt, sondern auch Remus Crux, der dämlichste Detektiv, den die Welt je gesehen hat. Der glaubt allen Ernstes, Skulduggery selbst sei der Teleporter-Mörder!

Die Diablerie bittet zum Sterben - Skulduggery Pleasant, Teil 3 (gekürzt)

Ron Robert Ranke hat zwar keinen Plan, aber Die Jagd geht weiter! Desolation Hill ist nur scheinbar ein friedliches Städtchen. Denn einmal im Jahr findet hier die Höllennacht statt. Fremde müssen die Stadt verlassen, die Kinder werden in Panikräume eingeschlossen. Nur die Erwachsenen wissen, was in der Höllennacht passiert. Und sie können es kaum erwarten ... Als kurz vor Anbruch der Nacht ein kleiner Junge verschwindet, erkennt Amber, dass eine unschuldige Seele geopfert werden soll. Der Kampf gegen die Dämonen entflammt stärker als zuvor!

Höllennacht in Desolation Hill - Demon Road, Teil 2 (gekürzt)

Hochspannung in Extralänge. Und wieder warten extreme Herausforderungen auf Skulduggery und Walküre Unruh: Bisher völlig unauffällige Sterbliche sind urplötzlich mit magischen Fähigkeiten begabt und die wenigsten können damit umgehen. Aber einige dieser Neu-Magier entwickeln so starke Kräfte, dass sie eine blutige Spur der Verwüstung durch das ganze Land ziehen. Nur ein sehr mächtiger Zauberer kann ihnen diese unglaubliche Macht gegeben haben. Einer, der seinen wahren Namen kennt. Und er muss unbedingt gestoppt werden! Brilliante Dialoge wechseln sich ab mit Actionszenen der Extraklasse.
