In der Dimension X ist die Zombieapokalypse ausgebrochen und alle Ortschaften werden von menschenfressenden Horden belagert. In die letzte Stadt zurückgezogen plant der tyrannische Herrscher Mevolent mit seinen Gefolgsleuten eine Invasion der Erde. Tausende Zauberer sollen in ein paar Monaten durch Portale in dieses Universum strömen und alle unterwerfen. Das Sanktuarium ist besorgt und schickt Skulduggery Pleasant und Walküre Unruh in die Dimension X um diese Pläne zu vereiteln. Tanith Low, Dexter Vex und andere Tote Männer begleiten sie selbstverständlich.

In dem verzweifelten Versuch, die verlorene Seele ihrer kleinen Schwester zurückzugewinnen, wendet sich Walküre Unruh gegen das Sanktuarium selbst.

Nun ist es Omen Darklys Aufgabe, die Leben tausender unschuldiger Menschen zu retten. Dabei ist er ECHT noch nicht bereit dazu. Aber der Wahnsinn bricht sich bereits Bahn.
