When young novice monk Brother Beowulf is sent to spy on Spook Johnson he has no idea of the
trouble he's about to find himself in. Johnson boasts to Wulf of his battles against demonic
creatures and even seems to imprisons local witches though Wulf is sceptical - not least
because the church has taught him that Spooks are a force for evil and not to be trusted. But
then the monsters Johnson claims to fight turn out to be very real indeed and soon Wulf is
forced to seek help from another young Spook Tom Ward who terrifies and charms him in equal
measure. But the forces of the dark are many and it's not long until Wulf and Tom realise
they've bitten off far more than they can chew. A horrifying new enemy is rising - and only
Wulf can stop it.
