Synopsis

The tenth book in the internationally best-selling fantasy adventure series that inspired the forthcoming major motion picture Seventh Son. Back at home, but in no less danger, Tom will face a tragic love story, an unforgivable sacrifice, and a new creature of the dark that terrorizes a village with its thirst for blood.

Tom Ward, the Spook's apprentice, and his master have bound the Fiend at last. But now Tom must use his powers as the seventh son of a seventh son to put an end to the source of evil once and for all. When the Spook is captured by bloodthirsty creatures of the dark, Tom must vanquish a god, avenge his master, and protect the person he loves most―Alice―from himself. The Last Apprentice series is soon to be a major motion picture, Seventh Son, starring Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes, Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, Olivia Williams, Antje Traue, Djimon Hounsou and Julianne Moore as Mother Malkin. It's a suspenseful thrill-ride that's "spine-tingling" (Publishers Weekly) and "anything but tame" (Horn Book). But don't read it after dark!

• The Spook’s Apprentice: Tom Ward, a seventh son of a seventh son, must step up when his master is captured by creatures of the dark.
• Witches and Demons: From the terrifying strigoi of Romania to the witch assassin Grimalkin, Tom must navigate a world where allies can be as dangerous as enemies.
• An Unforgivable Sacrifice: To destroy the Fiend for good, the price is unthinkable. Tom must protect the person he loves most—Alice—from the very destiny that demands her life.
• High-Stakes Fantasy: With the Fiend’s head in play and a powerful god on the rise, the fate of the County rests on one boy’s shoulders.
