Synopsis Author

The thirteenth thrilling novel in the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series, SEASONS OF WAR will test the Skeleton Detective and Valkyrie like never before...

War is coming.

To avert catastrophe, Skulduggery and Valkyrie are sent on a secret mission that takes them away from everything they know, to a forsaken land of magic and grim, unrelenting terror. It is here that Valkyrie will have to fight the hardest - not only against the enemies who want her dead, but also against her own self-destructive impulses. It's only by crawling through darkness that she'll be able to once again stand in the light...

MEDIA 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:

'A gripping debut.' Phil Hogan, Observer

'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

'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

'A remarkably accomplished debut with wonderful dialogue.' Robert Dunbar, Irish Times

'A rip-roaring adventure.' Irish Sunday Independent

Derek Landy

As the helmsman of the wildly-successful Skulduggery Pleasant series, Derek Landy exchanged a life as a sometime writer of screenplays to, almost overnight, becoming one of the world’s biggest names in children’s fiction. Debuting in 2007, Skulduggery Pleasant took its readers on a wild ride to the undead, where the niece of a famous horror writer suddenly discovers that what he was writing wasn’t so fictional after all. In 2015, Landy briefly stepped away from his Skulduggery duties to pen a fresh trilogy for young adults, Demon Road, and as something of a Whovian, contributed a tale to the Doctor Who collection 12 Doctors 12 Stories.
