Tom Ward is a witcher and protector of the residents of the County from ghosts, brownies, witches and other bloodthirsty creatures of Darkness. He is young, only seventeen, and none of the local residents believe in his abilities and skills. But everything changes when a fifteen-year-old girl named Jenny Calder appears in the village. She not only trusts him, but also wants to become his student. Even the fact that the witcher’s craft is not a woman’s job will not stop her. And now, more than ever, Tom needs helpers, because a new Darkness is approaching from the North. “The Witcher’s Apprentice” is the first book in the “Chronicles of the Starry Sword” trilogy, continuing the series about the Witcher’s apprentice Tom Ward.
