""I'm coming for you, and nothing living or dead can stop me.""
One witch is the most feared, the most ruthless, and the most deadly of all the witches in the county. If she hunts for you, she will find you. If you have crossed her, you don't stand a chance. She is the witch assassin, and her name is Grimalkin.
Grimalkin's one alliance is with Tom Ward, the Spook's apprentice. With Tom, she plans to rid the world of the most terrifying evil, the Fiend, who once did her great wrong.
For the first time, fans of the Last Apprentice series will hear the story from Grimalkin's side, as she is hunted herself by creatures of darkness set on revenge.

Quotes
-
“The characters jump off the page and feel real, especially in the fighting scenes as emotion conquers logic. The added element of the reincarnated creates an eerie tone while the action-packed pace and unpredictable sequences pull the reader in and out of reality.”
— Children’s Literature -
“This foray into the life of a new character works well, giving Delaney the opportunity to shape his elegant—and frightening—writing for a female character starring in her own story. Grimalkin, a brutal, often cruel fighting machine, nevertheless can display emotion, especially when it comes to her own apprentice, Thorne. As in the other action-filled books, horrendous, slimy, rotting, dripping moments don’t stop, but also, as in the rest of the series, there is heart here as well as meat. (The metaphorical kind. The other would just be torn apart and devoured.)”
— Booklist -
“The narration and short, free-verse poems at the beginning of each chapter give a complex look into Grimalkin’s peculiar thought processes, and her history is unveiled through the personal stories her protégé enjoys hearing time and again. While her voice differs greatly from the familiar Tom’s, the closer look makes her all the more intriguing. A good balance between dark action and emotional costs.”

About Joseph Delaney
Joseph Delaney (1945-2022) was an English teacher before becoming the bestselling author of the Spook's series, which has been published in 30 countries and sold millions of copies. Revenge of the Witch was adapted into a 2014 film, Seventh Son, by director Sergei Bodrov; its cast included Kit Harrington, Jeff Bridges, and Julianne Moore. He was the author of two other series of novels, Arena 13 and Aberrations. He lived in Lancashire, England, and most of the places in the Spook’s books are based on real places in Lancashire. The inspiration behind the stories often comes from local ghost stories and legends. The Spook’s Apprentice, The Spook’s Curse, and The Spook’s Secret have all been shortlisted for the Lancashire children’s Book for the Year Award. The Spook’s Apprentice won both the Sefton Book Award and the Hampshire Book Award.
