Book description
'Witches, Mam? We've made an alliance with witches?'
As the Spook's apprentice, Tom's first duty is to protect the County
from the dark. But now Mam needs his help in her homeland of Greece to
rise up against one of the Old Gods, the Ordeen.
Mam has summoned a powerful group to fight, but among them are the
Pendle witches. Can Tom go against all the Spook has taught him and
ally himself with the enemy?
What is the secret that Mam is keeping from Tom? And what sacrifices
must be made in the battle against the dark?
The sixth chilling tale in the Wardstone Chronicles, the
series that inspired the forthcoming movie The Seventh Son,
starring Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes and Julianne Moore.
Joseph Delaney is a retired English teacher living in Lancashire.
He has three children and seven grandchildren and is a wonderful
public speaker available for conference, library and bookshop events.
His home is in the middle of Boggart territory and his village has a
boggart called the Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest under the step
of a house near the church.
Most of the places in the Spook's books are based on real places in
Lancashire. And the inspiration behind the stories often comes from
local ghost stories and legends.
