Seventh Son (DVD)

Seventh Son

"The Spook's trained many but precious few completed their time." Mam said." And those that did aren't a patch on him. They're flawed weak or cowardly. They walk a twisted path taking money for accomplishing little. So there's only you left now son. You're the last chance. Your the last hope. Someone has to do it. Someone has to stand against the dark. And you're the only one who can."

Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son and has been apprenticed to the local spook. The job is hard, the spook is distant, and many apprentices have failed before him. Somehow Thomas must learn how to exorcise ghosts, contain witches, and bind boggarts. But when he is tricked into freeing Mother Malkin, the most evil witch in the country, the horror begins...You are taken on a rites of passage in a time when fear of the Dark and all it entails causes honest folk to lock their doors and turn mirrors to face the wall at night. Thomas and his new friend ex-trainee witch Alice must join together to help the Spook combat the growing threat from the witches, In the East at Pendle they are growing in strength and are starting to cause more trouble further afield. The Spook has spent many years dealing with their ilk and after 29 apprentices thinks that Tom will be his last, therefore the pressure is on, Tom has his lessons and errands as well as having to start learning how to deal with the Dark and it's powers, there is such a feeling of reality in the book(s) that you are drawn to believe in what you read.I recommend that you get reading before you get watching and become as engrossed in their adventures as the many fans I have got o know are.
