The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, face a formidable challenge as they confront an ancient evil known as the Bane, hidden deep within the catacombs of Priestown. This malevolent force poses a severe threat to their county, compelling them to confront their fears and unfinished business. As they navigate the dark underworld, the duo must summon all their skills to protect their home from the sinister creatures that lurk in the shadows.
Přichází dlouhá, tuhá a krutá zima. A neexistuje horší místo, kde zimu strávit, než je Anglezarke. Thomas Ward je učněm lovce duchů, který loví čarodějnice, spoutává strašidla a zahání duchy. Dny jsou stále kratší a chladnější. Poblíž domu lovce duchů se objevuje neočekávaný návštěvník. Tom nemá potuchy, kdo cizinec je nebo co požaduje, ale lovec duchů se náhle rozhodne opustit Chipenden a odcestovat do zimního domu v Anglezarku. Je to pusté, hrozivé místo plné čarodějnic a tajemství o lovcově mládí. Kdo byl cizí muž? Je Tom opravdu připraven čelit všemu, s čím se setká v Anglezarku?
V městečku Pendle sílí moc čarodějnic a krajem se šíří zvěsti, že tři nejsilnější čarodějnické klany se sjednocují za účelem vyvolání strašlivého, nepřestavitelného zla. Společně budou schopny dát zlu fyzickou podobu a vyvolat samotného ďábla. Lovec duchů a jeho učeň Thomas Ward se musí vydat na cestu, aby odvrátili nemyslitelné. Ale než vyrazí, lovec duchů pošle Toma domů, aby vyzvedl to, co mu tam zanechala matka. Jaké temné rodinné tajemství se doma ukrývá? Uvrhne Tomovu rodinu do daleko většího nebezpečí, či pomůže Tomovi a lovci duchů Spookovi v boji proti zlu v městečku Pendle? Sága o Lovci duchů je často přirovnávána k takovým úspěšným knihám, jako je např. Pán prstenů.
Zatímco se nebezpečí v Hrabství zvyšuje, Tom je vyslán svým mistrem daleko na sever, aby byl trénován jiným lovcem duchů, Billem Arkwrightem. Arkwright žije ve strašidelném mlýně na okraji zrádné mokřiny a jeho metody se ukáží být tvrdé a občas i kruté. Ale už předtím zocelil mnoho učňů a nyní musí udělat to samé s Tomem a připravit ho na nejvážnější nebezpečí v jeho životě. Když Ďábel pošle svou vlastní dceru, prastarou mocnou vodní čarodějnici Morwenu, aby Toma zničila, Arkwright se zmýlí ve svém úsudku a Tom svým nepřátelům čelí zcela sám. Jakmile lovec duchů s Alicí zjistí, že je Tom v nebezpečí a ponechán vlastnímu osudu, vydají se mu pomoci. Ale pomohou jejich síly proti tak mocné síle temnoty?
