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

Praise for 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 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
