Skulduggery Pleasant: Mortal Coil

Resumen del libro

Following the shocking revelations of DARK DAYS, get ready for the fifth instalment of the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series -- guaranteed to contain at least 40% humour, 50% action, and 100% thrills! Skulduggery Pleasant is back, and reunited with his original head. But all is not well in the magical world -- for one thing, foreign powers are conspiring to take over the Irish Sanctuary, and for another thing, Valkyrie has discovered she might be the sorceress set to destroy the world. The problem is, she doesn't feel she can tell Skulduggery what she's learned! and that's how all the trouble starts.

With Valkyrie on a quest of her own, to seal her name and prevent her evil destiny from coming to pass, Skulduggery and the gang are even more vulnerable. Which is a shame, because remember those thousands of remnants, imprisoned in the Midnight Hotel? Well, now they're out. Not only that but they believe Valkyrie is their messiah.

And that means thousands of wicked souls, desperate to get to Valkyrie, willing to kill anyone in their way! Oh, and because they can possess any body, they could be ANYONE. Now Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other!

Biografía del autor

Derek Landy es demasiado modesto para hablar de los premios que han ganado sus libros, o de todos los galardones que humildemente despliega en la repisa de su chimenea. Tampoco mencionará, por supuesto, el hecho de que su primer libro, Skulduggery Pleasant, obtuvo el Premio Bord Gais Energy Irish Book of the Decade Y el Red House Children's Book Award, o que su segundo libro, Jugando con fuego, ganó el premio al Libro Infantil del Año en Irlanda, o incluso que su tercera obra, Los Sin Rostro, es el favorito de su madre. Derek juega demasiado con viedeojuegos, lee demasiados cómics y ve demasiadas películas. A veces habla con gente real, pero solo cuando es absolutamente necesario. Vive en Irlanda con cantidad de gatos, un pastor alemán, y dos bull terriers de geriátrico a los que les sigue pareciendo que hacer pipí en el suelo de su cocina es divertido.
