Magic is a disease.
Across the land, normal people are suddenly developing wild and unstable powers. Infected by a rare strain of magic, they are unwittingly endangering their own lives and the lives of the people around them. Terrified and confused, their only hope lies with the Sanctuary. Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are needed now more than ever.
And then there's the small matter of Kitana. A normal teenage girl who, along with her normal teenage friends, becomes infected. Becomes powerful. Becomes corrupted. Wielding the magic of gods, they're set to tear the city apart unless someone stands up against them.
Looks like it's going to be another one of those days...
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.

Comments about Kingdom of the Wicked:
I bought this for my grandson(aged 12)as he was reading and loving the series. He took it camping and it kept him absorbed when they weren't otherwise occupied. Reduced sibling teasing equals happy campers!!

I really love this book! The latest book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series! Let's hope Derek does another! Funny and suspenseful, one of the best, and contains some of the best describing words I've ever heard!

My 12 (going on 25) year old daughter devoured this in one evening then went back to the start of the series to read them all over again. Her verdict was "Wicked good!!"

Comments about Kingdom of the Wicked:
Landy does it again and again. Captivating from the first line to the last. Cliff-hanging each chapter almost subliminally so you must read on into the wee hours!!
Service and delivery comments:
