Formatting: 8vo, pp. 368.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The publisher's original dark blue faux-leather boards remain tight and structurally sound, with the intentional distressed-gilt edging remaining vivid and untarnished. The spine is uncreased with only minuscule bumping to the extreme head and tail, consistent with light shelf wear. The text block is immaculate, with bright, unblemished pages entirely free of foxing, thumbing, or ownership inscriptions. The hinges are perfectly secure, and the binding exhibits no signs of lean. A highly attractive copy.

Catalogue Note: This is a Special Collector's Edition of the ninth instalment in the Wardstone Chronicles, issued without a dust jacket. The volume is notably enhanced by the textured faux-leather binding and distressed aesthetic characteristic of the publisher's premium grimoire-style releases.

It features the striking interior and cover illustrations by David Wyatt. The copyright page displays the full number line '1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2', confirming its status as a first printing of this particular collector's edition.

While standard trade paperbacks of this title are widely available, this Special Collector's Edition has become increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly in such well-preserved, unmarked condition.

Having forged an uneasy alliance with the Spook and his apprentice, Tom Ward, the deadly witch assassin Grimalkin is now on the run. Entrusted with the severed head of the Fiend, she must keep it out of the clutches of his dark followers at all costs, for if they reclaim it, the ultimate evil will rise again. Hunted relentlessly by creatures of the dark, Grimalkin must rely on her unparalleled combat skills and ruthless cunning in a desperate fight for survival that will determine the fate of the world.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
