The conclusion to Joseph Delaney’s three-book arc about Thomas Ward that began with A New Darkness! The chilling and action-packed adventure from the internationally bestselling Last Apprentice series will delight fans new and old.

In his job as the county spook, seventeen-year-old Thomas Ward is used to battling boggarts, witches, and other creatures of the dark. But now he and his apprentice, Jenny, must team up with former rivals and enemies to fight the evil Kobalos warriors intent on destroying the county.

The fight has cost the life of a strong ally, Grimalkin the witch assassin. Determined to end the war with the demons, Tom leads Jenny and Alice to Pendle for one last epic clash. Loyalties will be tested, alliances will be broken, and not everyone will survive.

A final, heart-pounding adventure about Thomas Ward, from the internationally bestselling author of The Last Apprentice series, which Booklist called “one of the best-written [series] of the last several years.” Delaney’s deliciously scary imagination will satisfy longtime fans and intrigue new ones.

Another winner

I have enjoyed all the books in this series and this one has not let me down. A new twist by the dark and enemies of the county. Wow.

sad it ended

struggled with how it ended. I wish the author had went a different route

love it!

I have always loved reading these book. I've been enjoying every one of these books

Grimalkin is back

Okay. This is not really a spoiler she’s in the prologue. (I almost broke my iPod with her fate in the previous book.) That being said this novel brings a hard but satisfying end. My heart broke for Tom twice. This is a solid conclusion to a 16 book series. Also they finally recover from Mr Welsh’s passing. The narrators are good and capture each character very well.

You technically could start here but I would not recommend it. This book actually left an emotional impact on me. Start at the beginning, not the end.

I wish I could give more stars. So few series end ad well as this.
