​Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son. Which means he has been apprenticed to the local Spook.

The job is hard, the Spook is distant and many apprentices have failed before.

Somehow Thomas must learn how to exorcise ghosts, contain witches and bind boggarts. But when he is tricked into freeing Mother Malkin, the most evil witch in the County, the horror truly begins.

​This is a really good start to an engaging series. I was gifted this book and it has been sitting on my shelf for a while. I should have read it sooner.
