In Dark Days, Valkyrie must rescue Skulduggery from a terrifying dimension while battling powerful enemies intent on destruction.
In Dark Days, readers are reintroduced to Skulduggery Pleasant, a unique blend of detective, sorcerer, and warrior who also happens to be dead. Following his disappearance into a parallel dimension plagued by the terrifying Faceless Ones, the stakes have never been higher. Without any official rescue mission from the Sanctuary, hope seems bleak as Valkyrie Cain, Skulduggery's determined partner, takes matters into her own hands. With time running out, she must navigate a world filled with chaos and uncertainty to bring him back.
As Valkyrie embarks on this perilous journey, she faces formidable challenges. The Sanctuary is under threat from a ruthless gang of villains, and powerful adversaries are intent on eliminating her. Meanwhile, a dark sorcerer known as Darquesse looms on the horizon, threatening to unleash destruction upon the world. Valkyrie's resolve is tested as she realizes that even if she manages to rescue Skulduggery, the world they return to may be irreparably changed.
Dark Days is a gripping installment in the Skulduggery Pleasant series, filled with action, suspense, and a touch of humor. It invites readers into a richly imagined fantasy world where bravery and friendship are paramount. Valkyrie must rise to the occasion, for the fate of her friend—and the world—rests in her hands during these dark days.
