Der Spook und sein Lehrling, Thomas Ward, stehen vor einer gewaltigen Herausforderung, als sie einem uralten Übel namens der Bane gegenübertreten, das tief in den Katakomben von Priestown verborgen ist. Diese bösartige Kraft stellt eine ernsthafte Bedrohung für ihr Land dar und zwingt sie, sich ihren Ängsten und unerledigten Angelegenheiten zu stellen. Während sie die dunkle Unterwelt durchqueren, müssen die beiden all ihre Fähigkeiten mobilisieren, um ihr Zuhause vor den finsteren Kreaturen zu schützen, die im Schatten lauern.
Tom Ward ist der siebte Sohn eines siebten Sohnes und Lehrling des Geisterjägers Spook. Um sich zu bewähren, soll er nicht nur einen widerwärtigen Boggart bannen, sondern auch dem teuflischen Bane den Garaus machen, der in den Katakomben einer Kathedrale haust. So viel geballte Garstigkeit und Gefahr machen es beinahe schon unerheblich, dass besagte Kathedrale ausgerechnet im Machtbereich des fanatischen Inquisitors steht. Aber eben nur beinahe…
