Skulduggery Pleasant: A Heart Full of Hatred Synopsis
The bone-shaking new trilogy continues - the latest adventure in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series
Vengeance is a killer.
A killer is stalking and murdering sorcerers, and Valkyrie Cain is next on his list.
While hunting down a cult of magical terrorists intent on taking their revenge on the mortal world, Skulduggery and Valkyrie are drawn into a murder investigation with unsettling similarities to a case they just closed - the case that nearly took the lives of both Valkyrie's sister and girlfriend.
With the body count rising, a special night approaches - a night where the elite of sorcerer society will gather on a remote island to witness a ceremony that could change that society forever.
Speeches will be made, champagne will be sipped, and two things will become terribly, distressingly clear…
No one is safe. And not everyone will make it out alive.
Derek Landy is far too modest to talk about any awards or accolades his books may have won. He will not, for instance, mention the fact that his first book, Skulduggery Pleasant, won the Bord Gais Energy Irish Book of the Decade Award AND the Red House Children's Book Award, or that his second, Playing With Fire, won an Irish Book Award for Children's Book of the Year, or that his third, The Faceless Ones, is his mother's personal favourite. He could go on, all the way to The End of the World, which is the title of the story he wrote for World Book Day 2012, but he won’t.
He lives in Ireland with a variety of cats, a German Shepherd, and two geriatric Staffordshire Bull Terriers who keep peeing on his kitchen floor because they think it's funny.
