About the Book : Skulduggery Pleasant : Hell Breaks Loose
Italy, 1703.
As the war with Mevolent rages on, the Dead Men are dispatched to a walled town
in the Tuscan hills not to assassinate the Lord of the Dark Sorcerers, but to
save him. A rift has opened to a hellish dimension where a being of devastating
power awaits, and only Mevolent is strong enough to seal it and save the world.
A simple mission, then, which turns ever-so-slightly trickier when Skulduggery
is presented with the opportunity to finally get revenge on Nefarian Serpine,
the man who murdered him and killed his family
