4-6Last Apprentice series.
Illustrated by
Patrick Arrasmith.
Tom and the Spook are off to spend winter on the moor, where they face Morgan, an embittered former apprentice who's determined to raise the dark power residing beneath the moor. Delaney excels in navigating the territory between high and domestic fantasy: his characters are very much of this world, and the evils they face are grounded as much here as in myth.
