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!

They could have killed me then, and would have, but for the Romanian spook who’d trained me. I didn’t even know he was there, but wherever I went, he

I’d complained when she’d given Agnes Sowerbutts strength—so asking her to help now made me feel like a hypocrite, and I knew that it would have upset my master. But sometimes, in order to survive, we’d had to use the powers of the dark in order to overcome it. Before Alice could reply, the mirror suddenly went dark. I waited, expecting her to reestablish contact, but in vain. Suddenly a terrifying thought came into my head.
food for the strigoi. The second blow to the door was louder than the first. It groaned, and a shower of plaster fell down from the ceiling. “Don’t have much respect for your property, do they?” Judd commented, but the innkeeper remained tight-lipped. In the intervals between each blow, the air was filled with curses and shouts. The men sounded desperate, and it was only a matter of time before the door gave way. At the fifth attempt, it crashed inward and we stood facing our attackers. We
in the Devil’s Triangle lay just a few miles to the south. There could be spies around, and the noise would alert them to our presence. Agnes suddenly let out a bloodcurdling scream and jerked backward, away from Alice. She lay in the grass, moaning and whimpering, limbs thrashing and body spasming. Alarmed, I went over to Alice. Had the spell gone terribly wrong? I wondered. “Be all right in a few minutes, she will,” Alice said reassuringly. “Hurts a lot because it’s such powerful magic, but
And Judd was safe, too; ex-apprentices who completed their training to the Spook’s satisfaction could usually enter the garden with impunity. “Did you see any sign of our enemies?” I asked Grimalkin as we approached the house. She shook her head. “Neither hide nor hair. I ventured southeast, almost to the edge of Accrington, but there was nothing. Unless the witches come in the form of orbs, there is little chance of an attack much before dawn.” In the kitchen I found that the Spook had taken
