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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The prequel to Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher saga introduces us to Geralt of Rivia, a sorcerer who’s also a bounty hunter of mythical creatures. The Last Wish starts with a bang, launching us into Geralt’s colorful adventures and surfacing scene-stealing characters like the man-turned-monster who doesn’t want to be changed back because women find him more attractive this way. Sapkowski really knows how to keep readers on the edge: He opens one tale with a knife to Geralt’s throat and cuts another story short right before a character makes a major announcement. It’s no wonder that his dramatic, immersive fantasy world has inspired video games, graphic novels, and now a TV show.
