An apprentice confronts Priestown’s buried threat

Thomas Ward continues his apprenticeship under the Spook, whose work against supernatural creatures leads them back to Priestown. There, a dangerous presence waits in the catacombs—one the Spook has failed to defeat before. Their predicament is complicated by the arrival of the Quisitor, who targets people involved with the dark. The description sets up two connected dangers: a powerful creature threatening the county and a human authority pursuing the Spook and his apprentice. This second volume in The Last Apprentice series combines supernatural peril with a conflict over who has the right to confront it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of middle-grade or young adult supernatural adventure.
  • For those interested in apprenticeships, witches, ghosts, and other dark creatures.
  • For readers who want a fantasy adventure that continues an established series.

Book overview

The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, rid the county of witches, ghosts, boggarts, and other creatures of the dark. And there's some unfinished business to attend to in Priestown. Deep in the catacombs lurks a creature the Spook has never been able to defeat; a force so evil that the whole county is in danger. The Bane!
But the Bane is not their only enemy. The Quisitor arrives, intent on hunting down anyone who meddles with the dark. Thomas Ward and the Spook must prepare for the battle of their lives.
