What is A Heart Full of Hatred about?

A killer is targeting sorcerers, with Valkyrie Cain next on the list. As she and Skulduggery Pleasant investigate, they uncover unsettling parallels to a recent case that nearly claimed the lives of Valkyrie's sister and girlfriend. With the body count rising, an elite gathering on a remote island looms—a ceremony that could alter sorcerer society forever. Amidst speeches and celebrations, it becomes clear: no one is safe, and not everyone will survive.
