Staff Pick

This first collection of short stories set the stage for the destiny that will make The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, its reluctant pawn. Curses will be broken, a Butcher will be named, a promise will be made, and a simple wish will bond two souls together in love until the bitter end. I cannot recommend this journey more, and it all starts here! Recommended By Mike H., Powells.com

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling introduction to the Witcher series that inspired the Witcher video games.
Geralt is a witcher.

Yet he is no ordinary killer-for-hire.
His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good. . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

Synopsis

Soon to be a major Netflix original series
Geralt the Witcher -- revered and hated -- holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in this collection of adventures in the NYT bestselling series that inspired the blockbuster video games.
Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.
This is a collection of short stories, following the legendary warrior Geralt of Rivia as he battles monsters, demons and prejudices alike...
Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher novels. A New York Times bestseller and the inspiration for the hit video games, The Last Wish is the perfect introduction to this one of a kind fantasy world.

This is an amazing book! A collection of short stories, setting the tone for the novel series that follows this title. The Last Wish reveals the story of how Geralt received his famed title, "Butcher of Blaviken."
