Pleasant took her arm, and they walked back.
"You will kill her?" the Torment asked.
Pleasant sagged. "Yes."
Scapegrace looked at Cain. She was standing silently, as straight as she could, trying to be fearless despite the tears.
"Then by all means," the Torment said, "kill her."
Pleasant hesitated, then took his gun from his jacket.
"I'm sorry, Valkyrie," Pleasant said softly.
"Don't talk to me," Cain said. "Just do what you have to do."
_____________________________________________________
Skulduggery and Valkyrie are facing a new enemy: Baron Vengeous, who is determined to bring back the terrifying Faceless Ones and is crafting an army of evil to help him. Added to that, Vengeous is about to enlist a new ally ( if he can raise it from the dead): the horrible Grotesquery, a very unlikable monster of legend.
One Vengeous is on the loose, dead bodies and vampires start showing up all over Ireland. Now pretty much everybody is out to kill Valkyrie, and the daring detective duo faces its biggest challenge yet.
But what if the greatest threat to Valkyrie is just a little closer to home?

I got this story from the book I've read and also I give some of my ideas in it.
Warning; NOT VERY GOOD AT GRAMMAR.
The Enforcers are up against a formidable foe who has more planned than just the elimination of some wolves. The whole supernatural and natural world is in jeopardy if they don't find a way to get rid of him and his followers. All the old characters are here along with some new ones. (Sequel to The Hunted)
Excerpt:
"Lex, I think you should just sit down." Gideon says to me in an almost plea. I look to him and then back to Victor who is clearly doing everything he can to contain his anger at the moment. I clench my teeth together and I do the dumbest thing I probably should have in that moment, "You can all go to hell." I say through gritted teeth. I have a problem with anger okay? It couldn't just back down to these he-man wannabe's after all the BS that they had put me through.
My eyes widened as Victor let out a fierce roar and then before my eyes he went from man to beast. It happened so quickly that no one even had a moment to respond to it. He was charging at me from across the room and I was standing frozen with wide eyes as he came at me. The wolf collided with me full force and my body slammed into the ground with a sickeningly loud crack. I felt all my bones snapping and rattling together as I hit the ground.
The wolf caged me underneath himself his big sharp teeth snarling inches from my face. I blinked a couple time as I stared into those glowing blue eyes and I felt my heart beating in ears. This was it, I was going to be killed because I couldn't keep my stupid mouth shut and just do what I had been told.
