Newly risen from the dead, Thomas Ward has been tasked with leading an army into battle against the dark, alongside his apprentice, Jenny, and the witch assassin Grimalkin. But their battle goes terribly wrong, and Tom’s situation seems hopeless until Alice—a powerful witch turned to the dark—appears. The second book in the new trilogy about Tom Ward continues the struggle against encroaching enemies and sweeps longtime fans back into familiar settings, such as the Spook’s bleak winter home, and brings back old friends—and old enemies.

The Dark Army is the second book in a three-book series that will introduce new readers to Joseph Delaney’s deliciously scary imagination and delight his longtime fans. Perfect for every reader who loves thrills, chills, action, and adventure—no prior knowledge of the Last Apprentice series necessary!
