Synopsis

Midnight, the eleventh book, picks up directly where Resurrection left off. When a ruthless killer abducts Valkyrie Cain's young sister Alice to lure Valkyrie into a final confrontation, Valkyrie has only twelve hours to find her before time runs out. Skulduggery Pleasant and the younger sorcerer Omen Darkly race to catch up with Valkyrie as she pursues the kidnapper alone, each following separate leads through Roarhaven and beyond in an effort to reach Alice in time. The search forces Valkyrie back into direct danger even as she still adjusts to life after her long absence from the field, while Skulduggery and Omen work to close the gap between them and the unfolding crisis.

Where it sits

Notes

  • From the series record (The Skulduggery Pleasant main sequence): The main numbered sequence concluded with A Soul Full of Shadows (2026); several companion novellas and short-story collections in the same setting exist but are not catalogued in this admission.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.
