A New Darkness

A bloodcurdling new adventure with Thomas Ward, from the chilling imagination of Joseph Delaney, author of the internationally best-selling series The Last Apprentice Something is terrorizing the villages of the county. People are dying--covered in blood, their faces frozen in fear--but with not a wound on their bodies. Battling creatures of the dark is the job of the local spook, but seventeen-year-old Thomas Ward never finished his apprenticeship. It will be no easy task to earn the trust of the villagers and to defeat a monster that no one has ever seen before. Yet Jenny--a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter--knows an awful lot about this new evil. And she's willing to share what she's learned with Tom . . . if he takes her on as his apprentice.
