Landy was initially contracted to write three books, with any further books depending on how well the first trilogy sold. The following novels were released each year afterward, with the exception of the fourth and fifth novels, Dark Days and Mortal Coil, which were both released in 2010. The first novel was published in April 2007. Since the release of the first novel in 2007, Skulduggery Pleasant, the series has been praised by both readers and critics. The novels are broken up into 5 trilogy sets with 2 prequel novels and 15 short tales. The central story concerns Valkyrie's struggle to stop evil forces threatening the world and her internal struggle to resist the darkness within. The books revolve around the adventures of fledgling detective Valkyrie Cain and her mentor Skulduggery Pleasant, along with other friends and allies. Skulduggery Pleasant is a series of dark fantasy novels written by Irish author Derek Landy.
