Books like The Spook's Sacrifice by Joseph Delaney
Tom, a young apprentice of the Spook, is called from the County to Greece to confront a perilous threat. The Ordeen, one of the most dangerous old gods, is poised to return, promising slaughter. The Devil remains loose and, if he were to join forces with the Ordeen, a new age of darkness would engulf the world. Mam Mestwin has rallied a powerful group to her side, but among them are Tom's old enemies: the Pendle witches, the assassin Grimalkin, and the cunning clan leader Mab Moldheel. Faced with a choice between the teachings of the Spook and the allure of the witches, Tom must decide whether to betray his mentor and ally with those he once fought. Secrets lie hidden, and the path to victory may demand the greatest sacrifice.
