Synopsis

Book 1 and Book 2 of the best-selling young adult fantasy adventure series that inspired the forthcoming major motion picture Seventh Son! Read Book 1, Revenge of the Witch, and Book 2, Curse of the Bane, in one volume! A major motion picture phenomenon and an international bestseller, this dark fantasy series will haunt you—and terrify you—and keep you coming back for more.

This volume includes Book 1, Revenge of the Witch, and Book 2, Curse of the Bane, of the Last Apprentice series. Only the Spook has the knowledge and skill to face ghosts, bind witches, and bargain with supernatural creatures like boggarts. Now he needs an apprentice—Tom Ward, who is the seventh son of a seventh son. Other apprentices have come before. All have failed, or fled, or died. In this gripping coming of age story, will Tom learn what they could not? Can he trust anyone, even his one true love? He will find out—and soon, for the dark is getting powerful, and the Spook’s time has come. Will Tom survive to carry on his master’s battle? Will he be the Last Apprentice?

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. The Last Apprentice series is "tantalizingly creepy" (Publishers Weekly), and "anything but tame" (Horn Book). But don’t read it after dark!

• A Master and Apprentice Adventure: Follow young Tom Ward as he trains under the County’s Spook, learning the dangerous trade of fighting the dark. But with all previous apprentices dead or fled, can he survive his first year?
• Witches, Boggarts, and Ghosts: From binding powerful witches like Mother Malkin to bargaining with boggarts, this series is filled with terrifying creatures that go bump in the night.
• A Spooky and Atmospheric World: Discover the haunted hills, creepy villages, and dark magic of a world where ordinary folk depend on the Spook to keep them safe from harm.
• The Price of a Gift: As the seventh son of a seventh son, Tom can see what others cannot. This gift makes him the County’s last hope, but it might also be what gets him killed.
