Travel back to 1703 with Skulduggery Pleasant in this standalone story featuring all your favorite characters. So many enemies, so little time . . .
'Derek Landy, a master juggler of scary and funny, has done it again with a twisty mini-masterpiece' The Times
Italy, 1703. As the war with Mevolent rages on, the Dead Men are dispatched to a town in the Tuscan hills - not to assassinate the Lord of the Dark Sorcerers, but to save him. A rift has opened to a hellish dimension, and only Mevolent is strong enough to seal it and save the world.
A simple mission, then, which turns ever-so-slightly trickier when Skulduggery is presented with the opportunity to finally get revenge on Nefarian Serpine, the man who murdered him and killed his family thirteen years earlier.
Return to the world of Skulduggery Pleasant in a short novel set hundreds of years before Valkyrie Cain is even born, and follow Skulduggery, Ghastly, Shudder, Ravel, Saracen, Dexter and Hopeless as they argue, bicker and battle their way through an army of their most hated enemies in order to save their oldest enemy so they can stop another, brand new, enemy...
And that's when things get complicated.
About the Author: Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave, he says, or she would be if she were dead.
