Brother Wulf: Wulf's Bane

The next thrilling and magical adventure set in the multi million copy bestselling world of The Spook's Apprentice.

Wulf has left behind his life in the monastery and is now the Apprentice to Spook Johnson, assisting him in protecting the County from denizens of the dark - which mainly involves Wulf acting as bait.

But Wulf is captured by Hrothgar, a giant with abilities to conjure subservient creatures - or tulpas - from his imagination. And he strongly suspects that Wulf has these abilities too . . .

Wulf begrudgingly begins training with his new master, but meanwhile, something dangerous is afoot in the County. Wulf's old friends, Tom and Alice, have been imprisoned by an all-powerful witch and her brain sucking minions. And together with Tilda, Tom and Alice's daughter, he needs to rescue them from Circe's enchanted lair before it's too late...

Reviews

The newest Delaney character returns to steal the limelight ... step forward Brother Wulf.

—— The Lancashire Post

A page turning story that kept you hanging on edge

—— Matilda, 11, LoveReading4Kids

This book was utterly unputdownable - I loved each and every second of time I spent reading it!

—— Rebekah, 15, LoveReading4Kids

A devilishly good combination of engaging cast, memorable locations, comforting food and delicious pace all sewn together with seriously good, unaffected writing, The Empty Grave is the full monty; entertainment, excitement and intelligence sprinkled with wit and verve and sparkling throughout with an endorphin-laced exploration of a liminal frontier – in this case the very boundary between the living and the dead. The Empty Grave is a fitting and extraordinary end to a remarkable series; I am very envious of those who are yet to discover Lockwood & Co. for themselves.

—— Zoe Toft , Playing By The Book

[T]he thrilling finale to the multi award-winning series, and the excitement and tension are held right to the very end. Sad to see a great series reach its conclusion, but better to go out on a high note, as this does.

—— Parents in Touch

Stroud brings his intricate, series long storyline to a close with a complex, dramatic climax followed by a simple, satisfying conclusion. A first-rate adventure, full of memorable, original characters

—— Booklist

Publication of a new Lockwood and Co. adventure must qualify as one of the literary events of the year. Jonathan Stroud not only writes like a dream, he creates some of the most inventive, most exciting storylines around.

—— Andrea Reece , LoveReading

I enjoyed it so much, I hope there will be yet another book soon to follow in this fabulously told series.

—— Amazed Earthling, with Guardian Children's Books

I love this series so much, the characters are funny . . . the ghosts are awesome.

—— An Awful Lot of Reading
