The Spook's Sacrifice

Book 6




Warning: Not to be read after dark

As the Spook's apprentice Tom's first duty is to protect the County from the dark. But now Mam needs his help in her homeland of Greece. One of the most dangerous of the old gods, the Ordeen, is about to return there, bringing slaughter and devastation. Meanwhile, the Devil himself is still loose and if he and the Ordeen join forces, a new age of darkness will descend.

Mam has summoned a powerful group to her side but among them are Tom's old enemy, the Pendle witches, including the assassin Grimalkin, and the cunning clan leader Mab Moldheel. Can Tom go against all the Spook has taught him and ally himself to the witches? What is the secret that Mam is keeping from him? And what sacrifices must be made in the battle against the dark?

Praise for The Spook's Sacrifice

Joseph Delaney's darkest adventure for Tom and his exorcist master the Spook is his best yet in Spook's Sacrifice.

Amanda Craig, The Times

The strength of each of Wardstone novels is the standalone quality that Delaney achieves.

Books for Keeps

It's a really enjoyable and exhilarating read...Five out of five stars.

Time Out

Beautifully crafted, genuinely creepy and ludicrously enjoyable, it hooked me: I have since rushed through the entire series so far.

Time Out

There are a couple of moments in the story which took me completely by surprise - real, strong plot twists...I whole-heartedly recommend it.

Nayu's Reading Corner

Many questions are answered in The Spook's Sacrifice, and some of them are BIG revelations. Expect to be in for a big surprise! The series is left beautifully poised as the tale concludes and the seventh instalment will be as eagerly awaited as ever.

Another breathless thriller from the genius of magic and mayhem!
