An apprentice’s trial as the Spook’s time runs short
Old Gregory has spent years protecting the county’s villages from evil, but his approaching retirement leaves the work—and its risks—to a successor. Thomas Ward is the only apprentice remaining after twenty-nine others have failed in different ways. That setup places a young trainee at the point where instruction meets a dangerous responsibility, with the county’s safety tied to whether he can take over. As the first book in The Last Apprentice series, it establishes the central bond between an experienced Spook and the apprentice who may be his final candidate.
