New Releases by ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI

The desire for power unleashes chaos and seals a new destiny in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story. Driven by unhealthy curiosity, Dandelion breaks a magic seal and unleashes a djinn whom he hopes will grant his wishes. Instead, the creature attacks him, leaving him with wounds only a mage can heal. Geralt rushes the bard to a nearby town, but in a city where casting spells carries heavy penalties, there is only one sorceress who resides—Yennefer of Vengerberg. Despite her beauty, grace, and zeal, can she be trusted? With the djinn set loose, Geralt is at the mercy of magic. And as a struggle for power and control begins, wishes are made, but whose are being granted? This graphic novel is the sixth in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski''s acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish!

Sin manifests into bloodlust in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s original short story. Geralt pursues a proclamation from a king of a bloodthirsty monster plaguing his palace. A hefty reward is offered to cure the beast, but not to kill it, for the king holds a secret—what lies beneath the palace is beyond the spawn of evil. Tried and failed by charlatans, Geralt sets out to claim the bounty—by decree of the king or by the pleas of those who wish the creature dead. This graphic novel is the fourth in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski’s acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish!

THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON RETURNS... Every legend has an origin - and Geralt of Rivia''s begins here. In this brand-new chapter of Andrzej Sapkowski''s Witcher series, follow Geralt in his earliest days as a Witcher, as he faces monsters and humans alike...

Noituriksi ei synnytä. Sellaiseksi tullaan. Fantasian suurmestari Andrzej Sapkowski palaa Korppien tienhaarassa Geraltin nuoruusvuosiin, kun tämä on vasta ottamassa ensiaskeleitaan noiturin ammatissa. Ennen kuin Geralt Rivialaisesta tuli Valkoinen susi ja Blavikenin teurastaja, hän oli pelkkä vastavalmistunut Kaer Morhenin noituri astumassa maailmaan, joka ei hänenlaisiaan ymmärtänyt eikä toivottanut tervetulleeksi. Ja kun hyvässä uskossa tehty urotyö menee pahan kerran metsään, Geraltin pelastaa hirttoköydeltä vain se, että paikalle osuu Preston Holt – vanha noituri, jolla on utuinen menneisyys ja oma lehmä ojassa. Holtin ohjauksessa Geralt alkaa oppia oikeaksi noituriksi: suojelemaan maailmaa, joka pelkää häntä, ja tulemaan toimeen omillaan. Mutta kun raja oikean ja väärän välillä alkaa hämärtyä, Geralt joutuu tekemään päätöksen. Tuleeko hänestä hirviö, niin kuin kaikki olettavat, vai jotain ihan muuta? Tämä on tarina siitä, miten legendat syntyvät – ja millä hinnalla. Andrzej Sapkowski (s. 1948) on Puolan menestyneimpiä nykykirjailijoita. Hänen 9-osainen The Witcher – Noituri -fantasiaeepoksensa on palkittu Suomessa kahdesti Tähtifantasia-palkinnolla, ja siitä on tehty ylistettyjä tietokonepelejä sekä huippusuosittu Netflix-tv-sarja.

A devilish tale full of shocking twists is presented in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski''s original short story. Work is hard to come by for Geralt and with Dandelion, not a subject for his rhymes or ballads. As they travel to the edge of the known world, townsfolk speak of many stories but it seems that’s all they are—recitals of monsters and superstition—until a man follows Geralt with news of a devil scavenging the local fields. Rid the beast, but under no condition is he to be killed. Only how can Geralt hunt the creature, for there is no such things as devils . . . This graphic novel is the third in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski''s acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish!

From the globally bestselling author of The Witcher comes the final book in the rich historical epic, the Hussite trilogy. Join Reynevan—scoundrel, magician, possibly a fool—as he embarks on a last great adventure across the war-riddled landscape of 15th century Bohemia. After his adventures in The Tower of Fools and Warriors of God, Reynevan is on the run again, harried by enemies—some human, and some mystical—at every turn. These are cruel and dangerous times for a man such as Reynevan, and to survive, he must set aside his history as a peaceful healer and idealist and play the brutal role of Hussite spy as crusades sweep through Silesia and the Czech Republic, and the world around him is forever changed. Praise for the Hussite Trilogy: “A ripping yarn delivered with world-weary wit, bursting at the seams with sex, death, magic and madness.” —Joe Abercrombie "This is historical fantasy done right." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A fantastic novel that any fan of The Witcher will instantly appreciate.” —The Gamer “Sapkowski''s energetic and satirical prose as well as the unconventional setting makes this a highly enjoyable historical fantasy.” —Booklist Translated by David French By Andrzej Sapkowski: The Hussite Trilogy The Tower of Fools Warriors of God Light Perpetual Witcher collections The Last Wish Sword of Destiny Witcher novels Blood of Elves The Time of Contempt Baptism of Fire The Tower of Swallows Lady of the Lake Season of Storms

Crossroads of Ravens is the instant New York Times bestselling standalone novel following fantasy''s most beloved monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia, on his first steps towards becoming a legend.

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).

A série The Witcher, de Andrzej Sapkowski, se tornou um fenômeno do universo fantástico, alcançando milhões de fãs no mundo todo e inspirando um premiado game, além da série de grande sucesso da Netflix. Agora, Sapkowski apresenta aos leitores um novo herói em uma jornada épica em Narrenturm, o primeiro volume da Trilogia Hussita. Reinmar de Bielau, conhecido como Reynevan, é um médico, um curandeiro, um mago e, para alguns, um charlatão. Quando um ato indecoroso o força a fugir do quarto que ocupava em um mosteiro, ele se vê perseguido não apenas por cavaleiros em busca de vingança como também pela própria Inquisição. Em um tempo em que as tensões entre Hussitas e Católicos ameaçam evoluir para uma grande guerra e forças místicas se reúnem nas sombras, a jornada de Reynevan o leva para Narrenturm, a Torre dos Tolos. O local é um hospício que abriga não apenas loucos, mas também aqueles que ousam pensar de modo diferente ou desafiar o status quo. Escapar de lá, evitar o conflito que se anuncia e até mesmo manter a própria sanidade vão se mostrar ao nosso herói como espinhosos desafios – mais difíceis de transpor do que ele jamais poderia imaginar.
