Summary
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…?
Critic reviews
"This production is exactly the reason young adult fantasy fare can work so well as audio entertainment. Narrator Rupert Degas...does a bang-up job here....This is dark comic fantasy, and Degass timing and complete grasp of the main character's personality couldn't be better." (AudioFile)

Amazing
Great story, well written, funny, dark and just a joy to read and listen to as I've done both now. It's so good to be able to enjoy these incredible stories while doing other things, and considering the age group, this is still enthralling for all ages. If you've not read or heard any skulduggery pleasant before, I implore you to go and grab the first book, you won't regret it!

Masterpiece
once again yet another great book by this author. Derek has a great way of bringing his characters to life, almost in such a way that you could believe this world of his actually exists. who knows maybe it does, we just don't know it.
