Part 4/10:
In the wake of despair, a young boy named Tom enters the picture. Struggling with an uninspiring life of farming, Tom is gifted with strange visions that lead him to confront Gregory, who seeks the seventh son of a seventh son for training. Tom’s mother is wary, but Tom's curiosity and desire for adventure draw him into the dangerous world of the Spooks.
Upon arriving in the city, Tom encounters Alice, a woman accused of witchcraft. Recognizing her from his visions, he rescues her, although she warns him that Gregory's apprentices do not survive long. Meanwhile, Malkin begins executing her sinister plans, fully aware of Tom's potential significance.
