Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But when he dies and leaves her his estate, Stephanie learns that, while he may have written horror, it certainly wasn't fiction.

Omen Darkly ist nur ein unscheinbarer, mittelmäßiger Schüler an der Corrival-Akademie in Roarhaven, der Metropole der Zaubererwelt. Anders als sein Zwillingsbruder Auger, der Auserwählte, der schon viele spannende Abenteuer erlebt hat. Dennoch ist es Omen, der von Skulduggery Pleasant, dem Skelettdetektiv, und Walküre Unruh einen Auftrag erhält. Einer seiner Lehrer hat einen Geheimbund gegründet, der das friedliche Nebeneinander von Zauberern und Sterblichen gefährdet.

War has finally come. But it's not a war between good and evil, or light and dark - it's a war between Sanctuaries. For too long, the Irish Sanctuary has teetered on the brink of world-ending disaster, and the other Sanctuaries around the world have had enough. Allies turn to enemies, friends turn to foes, and Skulduggery and Valkyrie must team up with the rest of the Dead Men if they're going to have any chance at all of maintaining the balance of power and getting to the root of a vast conspiracy that has been years in the making.

With Serpine dead, the world is safe once more. At least, that's what Valkyrie and Skulduggery think, until the notorious Baron Vengeous makes a bloody escape from prison, and dead bodies and vampires start showing up all over Ireland.

Derweil steht die ganze Zaubererwelt unter Spannung, denn es ist nur noch eine Frage der Zeit, wann Darquise zurückkehrt.
