A New Darkness

De: Joseph Delaney

Narrado por: Thomas Judd, Clare Corbett, Gabrielle Glaister

The first book in a chilling new trilogy from the author of the internationally bestselling Last Apprentice series! Tom Ward is an apprentice no longer—he is a full-fledged spook battling boggarts, witches, and other creatures of the dark. A New Darkness is the first in a three-book arc that introduces brand-new readers to Joseph Delaney's haunting world.

Tom Ward is the Spook, the one person who can defend the county from bloodthirsty creatures of the dark. But he's only seventeen, and his apprenticeship was cut short when his master died in battle. No one trusts Tom's skill, not until he's proven himself. And a fifteen-year-old girl named Jenny knows more about the three mysterious deaths in the county than Tom does. She is a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, and she wants to be Tom's first apprentice—even though a female spook is unheard of. Together, Tom and Jenny will uncover the grave danger heading straight toward the county, and they'll team up with a witch assassin to confront it.

A New Darkness begins a three-book arc that will introduce new readers to Joseph Delaney's deliciously scary imagination, and electrify his longtime fans. A New Darkness is perfect for every reader who loves thrills, chills, action, and adventure—no prior knowledge of The Last Apprentice series is necessary!

The Last Apprentice series, the first internationally bestselling series about Tom Ward, is now a major motion picture, Seventh Son, starring Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes, Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, Olivia Williams, Antje Traue, Djimon Hounsou, and Julianne Moore as Mother Malkin.

Good narrator. KEEP HIM!

The narrator in this is good. So don't you DARE keep changing him like wardstone!

A change of pace

Took a little while to get used to the new narrator. Thomas Judd did great but after a whom series by Christopher Evan Welch it was strange. As for the book, its another Delaney masterpiece. I can not wait for the next book to come out.

Love this series! This is my 5th time listening.

Thanks for your great work Joseph Delaney, RIP. Well done sir. Your work is beloved.

A must read but frustrating

Amazing performance and good story. The continuation of Tom ward’s journey as a spook. Only frustrating thing was the inconsistencies of what characters were capable of in the last apprentice series. But, I suppose there wouldn’t be much suspense if the main character got stronger and not weaker as the enemies would not pose as much of a threat. Overall a captivating read, but, not quite as what I thought Tom would develop. Now suddenly, he doesn’t use any of his gifts. There seems to be a determination to keep the enemy as op as possible.

An enjoyable listen

I found the narration to be pretty good but the plot to be a bit lacking

awesome

I loved it I'm glad the story didn't end with the first series I can't wait to see what adult Tom will do

Great book!

Awesome book, good story and great narrators. Lots of engaging moments and there are no parts that are dull or boring that could make you fall asleep...

hated the ending

There was no lead up for the ending, seemed very forced. I think the author was tired of writing stories for Tom.

????

Where is this series going the firsts book s were so great but then it just started going off the rails. I hope it gets back on track.
