A world where Stephanie Edgley becomes Valkyrie Cain without the help of anyone but herself. She hasn't met Skulduggery yet but that is soon to change. What happens when her daily life of fighting crime and protecting her family is shaken up by the interference of a particular skeleton? Her suspicion of him turns to friendship and maybe an even stronger bond as they work together.

A Valduggery based story. One of my first posted to this site. M for graphic scenes to come and language. A pair I have grown fond of having been quite successful in writing this fan fic. Enjoy
