When Tom, Alice, and Mr. Gregory return from their battles in Greece, they find the county overrun by enemy soldiers, his house is destroyed along with his precious library, and Bony Lizzie has escaped. The trio escapes to the island, Mona, only to find themselves being hunted by Lord Barrule's troops. Tom and Alice are survived being captured as witches only to be locked in a dungeon to be devoured by the Buggane. Bony Lizzie has become very powerful and wants Mr. Gregory dead. Through many twists and turns, Alice, Tom, and Mr. Gregory struggle to rid the island of evil and with each step death follows them.
I am not sure the title fits the book unless the Huntress is supposed to be Bony Lizzie. Mr. Gregory is showing his age and Tom is becoming stronger in the ways of Spooks. With this entry in The Last Apprentice series, I see the end of the series coming soon. The story is still fast paced, entertaining, and a very good read.
