What starts as a family inheritance quickly spirals into a hidden magical underworld where ancient sorcerers, rogue gods and world-ending weapons threaten everything Valkyrie thought she knew. This paperback set gathers the opening trilogy, The Faceless Ones arc, the Death Bringer trilogy, and further instalments including Kingdom Of The Wicked, Last Stand Of Dead Men, The Dying Of The Light, Resurrection, Midnight and Bedlam, alongside the companion titles Seasons of War and Dead or Alive. Across the collection, Derek Landy's cinematic pacing and sharp dialogue carry readers through escalating stakes, shifting alliances and Valkyrie's own growth from ordinary teenager to formidable sorcerer. Each book stands as a satisfying chapter while feeding into the wider mythology, rewarding readers who follow the saga from beginning to end. Praised for its blend of gothic humour and propulsive plotting, the series has drawn comparisons to authors like Jonathan Stroud and Rick Riordan while carving out its own distinctive, darkly comic voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete story arc:\u003c\/strong\u003e All 14 paperbacks together, from the first mystery through to later instalments and companion tales.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for teen and tween readers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast-paced, witty and packed with adventure - great for building reading confidence and enthusiasm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand new condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh, unread paperbacks ready for a bookshelf, classroom library or gift box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreat value bundling:\u003c\/strong\u003e One purchase secures an entire bestselling YA fantasy saga.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollector-friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e A neat, matching set that looks great displayed together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDerek Landy is an Irish author who moved from screenwriting into bestselling fiction.
