Synopsis[]
- "Three ancient gods are freed from their prison with only one desire: to destroy the planet and everyone on it.
To save us all, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain must go undercover in a Dublin school. Skulduggery has to blend in with the teaching staff, while Valkyrie has to pass for an ordinary schoolgirl. Above all else, no matter what happens, they both must act completely and utterly normal.
We are so dead."
- — The official synopsis from the World Book Day website.[2]
Trivia[]
- One of the few pieces of information Derek revealed before the book's release was that Apocalypse Kings would not contain Vampires.[3]
