Description

The seventh instalment in the biggest, funniest, most thrilling comedy-horror-adventure series in the universe
Magic is a disease.

Across the land, normal people are suddenly developing wild and unstable powers. Infected by a rare strain of magic, they are unwittingly endangering their own lives and the lives of the people around them. Terrified and confused, their only hope lies with the Sanctuary. Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are need now more than ever.

And then theres the small matter of Kitana. A normal teenage girl who, along with her normal teenage friends, becomes infected. Becomes powerful. Becomes corrupted. Wielding the magic of gods, theyre set to tear the city apart unless someone stands up against them.

Looks like its going to be another one of those days

Reviews

Praise for Derek Landy:

Landy [has the] ability to craft an engaging story from start to finish. Inis

Derek Landy has been something of a publishing phenomenon. Irish Post

Praise for Skulduggery Pleasant: Kingdom of the Wicked:

A real thriller There are so many teasers that have you on edge, but there are also plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Inis

[Landy]'s just got it His dry sense of humour, largely conveyed via Skulduggery himself, will have you quietly chuckling as you breeze through the pages. Mybookcorner.com

I dont 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

Praise for Skulduggery:

'Hugely enjoyable a thrill-a-minute adventure.' Jonathan Stroud, author of the BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY

'It's exciting, pacy, nicely handled and fun. I sincerely hope Landy revisits these characters.' Philip Ardagh, Guardian

'Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure. Once you've met Stephanie and Skullduggery, you'll be clamouring for a sequel.' Rick Riordan, author of the PERCY JACKSON series

Landy's witty style will win him fans of all ages It's a good job Harry's [Potter] resigning before he's forcibly retired. Irish Mail on Sunday

A rip-roaring adventure. Irish Sunday Independent
