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 hunter. Yet he is no ordinary killer. 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.

"I watched the Witcher Series on television and wanted to know the full story, so I downloaded the first book. It didn't disappoint. The book gave a different twist to fairy tales. The performance was stellar. If you like the Witcher TV show or Game, you will enjoy this book. "

Quotes
-
“It’s refreshing to see another take on familiar elements. There’s a fairy-tale quality to much of The Last Wish.”
— SFX magazine -
“It is [his] world-weariness, combined with his battle-boned powers, that make Geralt such an interesting character. Here’s hoping The Last Wish is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures.”
— Edge magazine -
This is a series you can sink your teeth into.
— BuzzFeed News -
Delightful, intense, irreverent, and compelling....you have to read The Witcher books because they are rife with all of the elements that make you love fiction, and especially fantasy, in the first place....In a word, The Witcher delivers.
