Die Jagd geht weiter! Desolation Hill ist nur scheinbar ein friedliches Städtchen. Denn einmal im Jahr findet hier die Höllennacht statt. Fremde müssen die Stadt verlassen, die Kinder werden in Panikräume eingeschlossen. Nur die Erwachsenen wissen, was in der Höllennacht passiert. Und sie können es kaum erwarten. Als kurz vor Anbruch der Nacht ein kleiner Junge verschwindet, erkennt Amber, dass eine unschuldige Seele geopfert werden soll. Der Kampf gegen die Dämonen entflammt stärker als zuvor!

Geheimnisvoll und furchterregend - die "Demon Road". Amber Lamont ist 16 Jahre alt, als sie feststellen muss, dass ihre eigenen Eltern sie gerne zum Abendessen verspeisen möchten. Nur so könnten sie ihre "Kräfte" wieder aufladen. Alles klar: Ambers Eltern sind waschechte Dämonen. Seitdem ist Amber auf der Flucht. Quer durch die USA entkommt sie auf der Demon Road, einem magischen Straßennetz, das unheimliche Orte und schauerlichste Wesen miteinander verbindet.

In dem verzweifelten Versuch, die verlorene Seele ihrer kleinen Schwester zurückzugewinnen, wendet sich Walküre Unruh gegen das Sanktuarium selbst. Und Skulduggery kann nichts tun, um sie davon abzuhalten. Währenddessen plant Abyssinia etwas Schreckliches und Großartiges zugleich: Eine Nacht der Magie, des Terrors und des Blutvergießens. Nun ist es Omen Darklys Aufgabe, die Leben tausender unschuldiger Menschen zu retten. Dabei ist er ECHT noch nicht bereit dazu. Aber der Wahnsinn bricht sich bereits Bahn.

An unmissable paraquel to the internationally best-selling Skulduggery Pleasant series, The Skulduggery Pleasant Grimoire is at once a thrilling recap of the books so far, a reference guide to characters and a treasure-trove of bonus content. As the Skulduggery Pleasant series nears its end (again), relive the adventure in this compendium of all things Skulduggery. Featuring a unique run-down of the books so far, it also includes an invaluable reference tool for the dizzying cast of characters, as well as bonuses, surprises and a dark story all of its own.

Three ancient gods are freed from their prison with only one desire: to destroy the planet and everyone on it. To save us all, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain must go undercover in a Dublin school. Skulduggery has to blend in with the teaching staff, while Valkyrie has to pass for an ordinary schoolgirl. Above all else, no matter what happens, they both must act completely and utterly normal.

In a matter of days, the world will change. Billions of lives will be wiped away in a final, desperate search for the Child of the Faceless Ones—she who is destined to bring about the return of humankind's ancient overlords. To prevent this, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have one last–terrible–option: the assassination of Damocles Creed.

On a desperate journey to recover her sister's lost soul, Valkyrie Cain goes up against the High Sanctuary itself, and there's nothing Skulduggery Pleasant can do to stop her. With Abyssinia's grand plan about to kick off in a night of magic, terror, and bloodshed, it falls to Omen Darkly to save the lives of thousands of innocent people. And as the madness unfolds around him, as hidden enemies step into the light, and as Valkyrie is sucked into a desperate, lawless quest of her own, he has no choice but to become the hero he never really wanted to be - or die in the attempt.

Skulduggery and Valkyrie are back in the 10th instalment in the best-selling Skulduggery Pleasant series, an incredible and unexpected treat for the legions of fans around the world. We can't say much, but we can say this: Skulduggery and Valkyrie are going to team up with beloved characters from the first nine books as well as an all-new cast, including new teen costar Omen Darkly, for an adventure that takes the story to truly global proportions while answering questions that go right back to the beginning.

Valkyrie. Darquesse. Stephanie. The world ain’t big enough for the three of them. The end will come.... The War of the Sanctuaries has been won, but it was not without its casualties. Following the loss of Valkyrie Cain, Skulduggery Pleasant must use any and all means to track down and stop Darquesse before she turns the world into a charred, lifeless cinder. And so he draws together a team of soldiers, monster hunters, killers, criminals...and Valkyrie’s own murderous reflection.

War has finally come. But it's not a war between good and evil or light and dark - it's a war between Sanctuaries. For too long, the Irish Sanctuary has teetered on the brink of world-ending disaster, and the other Sanctuaries around the world have had enough. Allies turn to enemies, friends turn to foes, and Skulduggery and Valkyrie must team up with the rest of the Dead Men if they're going to have any chance at all of maintaining the balance of power and getting to the root of a vast conspiracy that has been years in the making.

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....

Ein Teleporter nach dem anderen wird umgebracht. Gut, dass Stephanie ihr Spiegelbild hat, das für sie in die Schule geht und die Hausaufgaben macht. In ihrem neuesten Fall müssen Skulduggery und Stephanie einen jungen Teleporter namens Fletcher Renn beschützen.
