Geralt's encounter with a beast reveals the truth behind fairy tales in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's original short story. Geralt takes a short cut down a beaten path, where he makes a grim discovery of two corpses. Backtracking their trail, he's led to a derelict mansion secured with elevated walls and a gate--mysterious and ramshackle, yet adorned with a rare elegance Geralt could not ignore. He is met with the mansion's owner--not quite human, but a beast with the faculties of a man. With Geralt unfazed by his monstrous appearance and displays of aggression, the beast invites him inside. A kind but wary host, he shares stories of his family, his life . . . and his curse. If the weight of his misdeeds could condemn him to the body of a beast--a retribution spoken of only in fairy tales, could there be another grain of truth in these tales of fantasy--one that could help him elude his fate and lead him to salvation? This graphic novel is the first in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski's acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish Script adaptation by Jacek Rembiś (Frostpunk) with art by Jonas Scharf (Bone Parish, War for the Planet of the Apes).

The second volume of the HUSSITE trilogy by the bestselling author of THE WITCHER takes Reynevan - scoundrel, magician, possibly a fool - into the depths of the Hussite war as he searches for his lost lover and attempts to navigate the religious fervours of the fifteenth century.

Kirja, josta The Witcher -peli sai alkunsa.Fantasiaa vaativaan makuun: älykästä huumoria ja synkkien metsien melankoliaa. Tähtifantasia-palkinto 2011!Viimeisen toivomuksen arvoituksellinen sankari on Geralt, jonka ammattina on maiden ja mantujen rauhaa häiritsevien epäihmisten surmaaminen. Mutta yhtä usein kuin Geralt suojelee ihmisiä varjoissa lymyileviltä kimairoilta, hän joutuu toteamaan vihollisensa taikuuden uhriksi: viatonkin ihminen voi tulla noidutuksi ihmissudeksi, ja kaunein hymy voi kuulua petolliselle vampyyrille. Ihmisyyttä ei voi tunnistaa katsomalla. Viimeinen toivomus on harmaiden alueiden ja hienovaraisten vihjeiden kirja, rohkean sanailun ja kuivan huumorin läpäisemä mutta melankolinen. Se on vauhdikasta mutta maalta tuoksuvaa ja ihmiskuviltaan tinkimätöntä fantasiaa, jossa mielikuvitukselliset pedot, prinsessat ja linnanherrat nähdään uudenlaisissa luonnerooleissa. Se aloittaa saagan, joka kartoittaa ihmisyyden rajaseutuja niin kuin vain tarumaailma voi parhaimmillaan tehdä.
