In Pendle the witches are rising and the three most powerful witch clans are rumoured to be in order to conjure an unimagineable evil. Together they will be capable of raising the dark made flesh - the Devil himself. Tom and the Spook need to set off for Pendle to avert the unthinable. Before they go, the Spook tells Tom to journey home and collect the turnks Mam left behind for him. But what family secrets are contained in the trunks?
