As danger increases in the County, Tom is sent far north by his master to be trained by Bill Arkwright, another Spook. Arkwright lives in a haunted mill on the edge of a treacherous marsh and his training methods prove to be harsh and sometimes cruel. But he has toughened up many previous apprentices and now he must do the same for Tom and prepare him for the gravest dangers of his life. But when the Fiend sends his own daughter, the ancient powerful water witch Morwena, to destroy Tom, Arkwright makes an error of judgement and Tom finds himself facing his enemies alone. The Spook and Alice realising his danger, hasten to his aid but will even their combined strengths suffice in the face of such terrible dark power? And what is the Spook's mistake, the consequences of which might give final victory to the dark?

This collection of stories is told from different points of view. So why doesn't the Spook trust girls who wear pointy shoes? Could it be because in his youth he fell in love with a young witch who then betrayed him and broke his heart and he was forced to leave her drugged and imprisoned in his winter house? Why did Grimalkin become the Assassin for the Malkin Witch clan? Is it because the Devil killed her child and so, mad with grief, she wanted to kill and so fought her way to the top and became the witch assassin? And what happened when Tom and his new master Arkwright met a Banshee witch, who foretold Arkwright's death? This is a dark and eerie collection. You don't have to know the Spook's books to enjoy the stories. They're all standalone but for any fans of the series out there this collection will be a must-have.
