Seventh Son

'Someone has to stand against the dark. And you're the only one who can.'

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?

Reviews

Be warned, these books are seriously scary

—— The Times

An 18th century romp, packed with colourful characters, enough surprises and twists to keep the reader guessing and enough gruesome details and fisticuffs to bring the era to technicolour life

—— The School Librarian

This book is super horror and holds mystery and intrigue

—— South Wales Argus

As clever and as tightly plotted as the first

—— Suffolk Journal

This is a gripping thriller with a zesty plot

—— Eastern Daily Press

Fans of Joseph Delaney's fantastic Wardstone Chronicles will need no urging to buy the latest instalment... Gripping, moving and terrifying for anyone of 10+.

Beautifully crafted, genuinely creepy and ludicrously enjoyable, it hooked me: I have since rushed through the entire series so far.

—— Time Out

Seeped in legend and ghostly tales, the deliciously chilling Wardstone Chronicles reach thei eighth volume

—— Fiona Noble , The Bookseller

Fabulously dark, this series is an annual summer treat for 10+.

Delaney's latest instalment takes us on a breakneck speed, suspense- packed adventure, introducing a motley collection of hair-raising new enemies and some fascinating interplay on the fight between good and evil.

Ideal reading for the witching hours...
