The Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy centers on a skeleton detective who wields magic and cracks jokes while fighting supernatural threats alongside his teenage partner, Valkyrie Cain. Scepter of the Ancients (2007) launched the series, which has grown to twenty-eight books.
The original run of fourteen books concluded with The Dying of the Light (2014), but Landy returned with Resurrection (2017) to begin a second phase. The series has continued through Seasons of War, Dead or Alive, Until the End, and beyond. Landy has also written companion novellas and the reference book The Skulduggery Pleasant Grimoire (2021). A Soul Full of Shadows (2026) is the most recent entry.
