The Spook's Apprentice (American title: The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch), written by Joseph Delaney, is the first story in The Wardstone Chronicles arc of the Spook's series. The plot centres on a 13-year-old farm boy named Tom who lives in the countryside of the county, loosely based on the English county of Lancashire, where the author resides [1] with his large family. As Tom is the seventh son of a seventh son, he is able to see things others cannot, such as boggarts, ghasts, ghosts and others.

(2010) We would like to thank Penguin Random House as well as all the wonderful people who helped him on his adventure and especially everyone who has read his books.Judd Brinscall: a spook and former apprentice of John Gregory who primarily worked in Romania before moving to Caster to take up the late Arkwright's place. 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? You will find everything you need to know about Joseph and his books here, and if you want to know more just ask a question. Are there benign withes who belong to the dark and others who don’t?(Agnes Sowerbutts is considered to be a benign witch but she is known to use the dark, such as the nail biting thing, but Mam is benign a witch who doesn’t use the dark apart from mirrors. In other words can you be a benign witch without belonging to the dark?) Yes I have and I like it a lot, but I miss Tom and Alice and was also disappointed that we didn’t see more of why Alice did the things she did that were so out of character for her. The explanation she gave in dark army was totally incomplete and didn’t explain the things she said in fury of the seventh son, could we see more from her mind in the future? I like the new series but it’s no comparison to Tom’s story which was just really brilliant. I really hope you at some point reconsider and write more books about Tom and Alice, they’re so good and they also have so much more to explore about them, is Tom part of the dark now and why did Alice do the things she did and so many other questions. I bet a ton of fans would love a last Tom and Alice book to answer some of the hanging questions and finish their story. It feels unfinished and unsettled because it seems like you rushed the Starblade Chronicles, especially dark assassin. Anyways, thank you for those incredible characters and I hope you think about it! Many people would love just one more book to complete the story. Stay healthy

To combat the Kobalos, an all-male non-human warrior race intent on killing all human males and enslaving all human females (to ensure their species' survival), he allies with Alice and Pan. Unfortunately, some of the women he imprisons in his cellar are not witches and this causes anger and resentment amongst the locals. Aware that his reputation leaves much to be desired, Spook Johnson hires a scribe, to record his own version of his exploits and thus turn him into a living legend. This scribe is a young noviciate monk from the local Abbey, whose name is Brother Wulf. The Starblade Chronicles are a trilogy following the continued adventures of Tom Ward, who has finished his apprenticeship and is now a Spook in his own right dedicated to fighting an unparalleled evil threatening the County, and the world. However, unlike past Spooks, Tom is only seventeen, and he is met with doubt and distrust by many in the County owing to his age. Complicating matters is his interactions with Jenny; the sixteen-year-old girl who seeks to be his apprentice, notwithstanding that women have never been Spooks before.
