The stories behind the county’s dark figures

Set within the world of The Last Apprentice, this collection shifts attention from Thomas Ward’s apprenticeship to the histories of figures around him. It explores how the Spook began his own training, how Alice faced her past, and how Grimalkin came to be known as a feared witch. A gallery of villains and accounts of battles against them broaden the book’s focus beyond a single apprentice, offering background on the dangers and rivalries that shape the series’ setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers familiar with The Last Apprentice who want more background on its supporting characters and villains.
  • Readers interested in fantasy adventures involving witches, monsters, and battles against dark forces.

Book overview

Enter a land where creatures of the dark creep out of the shadows
The Last Apprentice series follows the terrifying adventures of the Spook's apprentice, Thomas Ward, as he learns to battle the monsters of the dark and keep the county safe. But Tom's is only one story.
The Spook himself was once an apprentice. How did he begin his training? How did Alice, a young witch and Tom's closest ally, overcome her dark past? How did the assassin Grimalkin become the most deadly and feared witch in the county? And you'll discover the rest of the county's menacing villains, collected in a gallery of horrors, and relive the vicious battles waged against them.
