The Spook's Apprentice:
For
years, the local Spook has been keeping the County safe from evil. Now
his time is coming to an end, but who will take over? Many apprentices
have tried. Some floundered, some fled, some failed to stay alive. Just
one boy is left. Thomas Ward. He is the last hope. But does he stand a
chance against Mother Malkin, the most dangerous witch in the County?
The Spook's Curse:
It's
the job of the Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, to protect the
County from the dark. But deep in the catacombs beneath Priestown lurks a
creature the Spook has never been able to defeat – the Bane. As they
prepare to battle it, yet another deadly enemy emerges to threaten Tom
and his master.
The Spook's Secret:
As
the nights draw in the Spook decides to travel to his winter house. His
apprentice, Tom, hates the desolate place. There are feral witches in
the cellar, menacing creatures stirring on the nearby moors and a
sinister stranger threatening Tom's master. Is the Spook's past catching
up with him? And what dangers will Tom face if his master's secrets are
revealed?
The Spook's Battle:
The
Spook and his apprentice protect the County from the dark, but not a
terrible danger threatens. The witches are rising and the three most
powerful clans are uniting to conjure an unimaginable evil – the Devil
himself. If they succeed, will Tom and his master have the courage to
defeat the most powerful enemy of all . . . ?
The Spook's Mistake:
The
Spook has sent his apprentice, Tom, to be trained by another Spook
whose methods are harsh and tough. But faced with a powerful water
witch, Bill makes a fatal error, leaving Tom to face his enemies alone.
Can the Spook get there in time to save his apprentice? Or will his own
mistakes give final victory to the dark?\
The Spook's Sacrifice:
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. But what secret is Mam
keeping from Tom? And what sacrifices must be made in the battle against
the dark?
The Spook's Nightmare:
The
County is facing dark times, and the Spook is being haunted by
terrifying dreams. With his precious library burned to the ground and
his old enemy, Bony Lizzie, free once again, things are falling apart.
As nightmares turn real, the Spook's powers seem to be waning just when
he needs them the most. Can Tom, the Spook's apprentice, face the dark
alone?
