The Dark Army / Delaney, Joseph

"Thomas Ward is dead, killed in his attempt to conquer the Kobalos, terrifying creatures set on enslaving the human race. Devastated by his loss, his apprentice Jenny and the witch assassin Grimalkin are ready to abandon the war and return home. Yet in the struggle between light and dark, not everyone who dies stays dead. Soon, a newly resurrected Tom Ward finds himself standing across the battlefield from Alice, a witch who has aligned herself with the dark; a witch he once loved"--Dust jacket.

Tom Ward is now Spook of the county, and with his apprentice, Jenny, he continues the fight against boggarts, witches and terrifying new creatures of the dark. Along with the witch assassin, Grimalkin, Tom and Jenny lead an army into battle against a dangerous enemy -- but it all goes catastrophically wrong. The situation seems hopeless until Alice, Tom's lost love and a powerful witch, appears. But Alice had turned to the dark: can Tom trust her now?.
