Book Synopsis



He's dead. She's deadly. The bad guys don't stand a chance.

The ninth book in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series.

Following the loss of Valkyrie Cain, Skulduggery Pleasant must track down Darquesse before she turns the world into a charred, lifeless cinder - and so he draws together a team of soldiers, monster hunters, criminals and Valkyrie's now murderous reflection.

Not everyone gets out of this alive.

'A thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure' Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series



Review Quotes




Praise for The Dying of the Light:

'With plot twists that had me gasping at Landy's audacity, whip-smart dialogue, and enough clever popular culture references to impress even the most jaded teenager, this is a world class book not to be missed' Irish Independent

'This is a series that has not only maintained incredible entertainment value throughout, but has managed to consistently exceed steadily rising expectations book after book' The Bookbag

Praise for Skulduggery Pleasant:

'A thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure' Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

'Thrill-a-minute adventure' Jonathan Stroud, author of the Lockwood & Co. series

'It's exciting, pacy, nicely handled and fun' Philip Ardagh, Guardian

'Whatever your age, read and enjoy the ride' Irish Independent

'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

'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




About the Author



Derek Landy is the author of the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series. He doesn't like to brag about all the awards he's won, such as the Irish Book of the Decade, or the Red House in the UK, or all the other awards that he humbly displays on his mantelpiece. He is also far too modest to mention things like the first book being a Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the Year, but would like to extend an invitation to Oprah to pop around one day for tea, in thanks for selecting his book for the Oprah's Book Club Kids Reading List. Derek plays too many video games, reads too many comics, and watches too many movies. He lives in Ireland with too many cats and too many dogs. Occasionally he talks to real people, but only when he absolutely has to.
