Vatican cameos--those were the last words Sherlock Holmes had spoken before he'd fallen from St Bartholomew's Hospital roof, and Amelia has spent the last two and a half years trying to figure out what he meant. At long last, she's started to move on from the death of the man who changed her everything, and take a hold of her life. John's about to get engaged-if everything went to plan-and everything has started to settle down. But when Sherlock reveals himself to the Watsons that he is very much alive, Amelia's life spirals into chaos once more. There's a scarlet thread of murder and secrets running through the colourless skein of life, and it is the trio's job to unravel it, and isolate it. But as clues about the case are revealed, so are secrets of Amelia, John, and Sherlock's pasts-secrets that might just tear the trio apart. Loyalties are put to the test, and secrets that should've been kept in the shadows are brought into the light, and with those secrets come two horrifying criminals, bent on corrupting the trio beyond repair. Vatican cameos. Battle stations. Someone's going to die. [This story is canon-divergent following Series 3 of SHERLOCK.]

War. Death. Conquest. Famine. The Four Horsemen of the apocalypse. Of course, they're not to be mistaken for the literal apocalyptic Four Horsemen, for it's only the name of their team. However, whilst they may not be the Armageddon-sent Horsemen, their aliases still strike a stone cold, petrifying fear into the cores of their enemies and allies. Chase, Jordan, Estelle and Lucas however? Well... they're about as terrifying as Mike Wazowski. Meet the protagonist of the book; Estelle Aveline. Or, as she is more commonly known as; Conquest the Horseman. No one knows Conquest is a female, because she's more so the stay at home in her pyjamas and hack the President's computer or SHIELD for kicks kind of girl. She is though, the most important member of the team. She holds the other three boys together. So when Victor Von Douche burns down the Horsemen's public mansion, steals $3.2 million from them, ruins and demolishes all their computers and manages to give severe burns to War in the fire, what are the Horsemen to do? Hunt him down of course. And whose help do they unfortunately need to do so? The Fantastic Four. Yet in the midst of war, what if the Horsemen's identities are finally revealed? And what if, after all these years, a certain flamboyant hothead conquers the one part of Conquest that she never thought possible? Her heart. ***I obviously do not own any Marvel or comic characters. I only own the Four Horsemen, the plot, and a few characters that appear later on in the story.
