Valkyrie screamed, sprinting toward Skulduggery.
He looked up and reached out to her, but it was too late.
f you've read the other Skulduggery books by Derek Landy (and you really should have read them by now), you've seen it all before: Some bad guy wants to bring about the end of the world, and Skulduggery and Valkyrie fight valiantly to stop it from happening. A few people get hurt, sure, but everything's all right in the end.
Well, not this time.
Derek Landy is the author of Skulduggery Pleasant: Scepter of the Ancients, which was named a Best Book for Young Adults by the American Library Association, appeared on the Oprah's Book Club Kids Reading List, and was a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year. He is also the author of the follow-up novel Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing with Fire, which hasn't won any prizes yet—but it's only a matter of time, we're sure. Derek lives in Ireland, where all magic begins.
