The Spook's Curse

About the Book

Also known as Curse of the Bane (US edition).

The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, have travelled to Priestown for some unfinished business. For, deep in the catacombs of the cathedral, lurks the Spook's nemesis – The Bane, a creature he has never been able to defeat. As Thomas and his master prepare for the battle of their lives, it becomes clear that The Bane isn't their only enemy in town. The Quisitor has arrived, searching the county for those who meddle with the dark – witches, warlocks and Spooks! When the Spook is arrested and sentenced to death, it's up to Thomas, with a little help from his old friend, Alice, to rescue his master and destroy the curse of Priestown.
