Just when you think you’ve saved the world… "You will kill her?" the Torment asked. Skulduggery sagged. "Yes." He hesitated, then took his gun from his jacket. "I'm sorry, Valkyrie," he said softly. "Don't talk to me," Valkyrie said. "Just do what you have to do." Valkyrie parted her tunic, and Skulduggery pointed the gun at the vest beneath. "Please forgive me," Skulduggery said, then aimed the gun at the girl and pulled the trigger. 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. With Baron Vengeous after the deadly armour of Lord Vile, and pretty much everyone out to kill Valkyrie, the daring detective duo face their biggest challenge yet. But what if the greatest threat to Valkyrie is just a little closer to home…?

Olivia Dear future ex-husband, I loathe you. Malakai Farrow needs a wife, and I would have done anything to save the last piece of my family. Now I'm here, in his house, seeing firsthand how dangerous this man is. He's merciless. Brutal and cold. And my new husband. He tossed my life into the air and then watched it fall and shatter. So now, I'm going to make his life hell. Playing with fire has never been this much fun. And if I get burned in the process? Well, I'll be sure to take him down with me. Malakai Dear wife, your claws are out early today. I like it. Olivia Lauder is the ticket to keeping my throne. In this organization, there are rules every leader must follow and taking a wife is one of them. It's only supposed to be a business transaction, a signed contract to satisfy old traditions. That was until she stormed into my house like a little hell cat, and I simply couldn't resist. Playing with Olivia is just too much fun when the rest of my life is so organized. But then the games start to feel a little bit too real. And with every day that passes, she climbs further beneath my skin. Olivia and I were only ever meant to be on paper, but now that I have her, I'm finding I want her in every way possible. Even if that means we both go up in flames.
