I thought I’d never have to see Val again. I was so very wrong. Val’s sudden appearance in my life had rocked my world, but it had all been a ruse. I should have punched him in his smug face, but my sister’s life was on the line. Now he’s back, insisting we must work together for the good of all. And the life of my sister, of course. The assignment this time? Track down the Mark of Ereshkigal, a piece of the enigmatic Crown of the Underworld.
