A hat.
A fucking hat.
A designer fedora hat that somehow found itself in the hands of a stubborn 12-year-old is responsible for the death of 10,000 people in only 24 hrs, the total number of deaths it is responsible for is unknown.
It is responsible for both saving the world several times and nearly destroying it.
Skulduggery better put the hat he wore to Gordon's during "that" night upon meeting Valkyrie for the fourth time ever in a fucking museum and if not he should at least look at it as one of his most prized possession because without it, this whole series, this whole goddamn series would never have happened.
A hat: 16 books, 3 novellas, 15 short stories, my entire existence.
