The second book in a new trilogy from Joseph Delaney, the author of the
internationally best-selling Last Apprentice series.
Tom Ward is now spook of the county, and with his apprentice, Jenny, he
continues the fight against boggarts, witches, and terrifying new
creatures of the dark. Together with the witch assassin, Grimalkin, Tom
and Jenny lead an army into battle against a dangerous enemy--but it all
goes catastrophically wrong. The situation seems hopeless until
Alice--Tom's lost love and a powerful witch--appears. But Alice had
turned to the dark: can Tom trust her now?
Joseph Delaney's deliciously scary imagination continues Tom's saga,
introducing new readers to the struggle against the encroaching dark and
taking longtime fans back to familiar settings, where they will find old
friends--and old enemies.
Perfect for every reader who loves thrills, chills, action, and
adventure--no prior knowledge of the Last Apprentice series is
necessary!
