Publisher's 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)

Good book
I'm happy to find a couple laughs with Skulduggery Pleasant's dry and witty humour. The vivid final battle was cool. I wish Mr. Bliss was less vague/flaky tho. At this rate the next one in the series should be brilliant. Thanks Derek

Soooooooo good!
I love this book so much, it makes me laugh and cry and scream at all the right moments. Rupert Degas also does an excellent job of narrating it. I felt like I was right there in the story, watching it all happen.

Totally addictive!!!
I have only just bought the first book yesterday and could not put it down 10 mins! Story is awesome always keeps you guessing and the characters are funny, cheeky and sarcastic. I finished it in one day enjoying every it of it and this, the second book, is just as good! Buying and finishing it today and buying the third book for tomorrow to listen to.

Loved it!
Great book and the narrators are all great and suit each character. Was great to listern to and will definitely keep listerning to the whole series.
I reccomend this for anyone above 12+
Has great humour, action and magic. But is a bit dark for young kids.
