Skulduggery and Valkyrie go monster hunting in the sewers of Dublin, but things get complicated when Valkyrie falls mysteriously ill. Notes: This work was inspired by the BTVS episode of the same name, though you won't see any similarities until a few chapters in. It's set between Kingdom of the Wicked and Last Stand of Dead Men (and after the events of The Maleficent Seven).
