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!

On ne naît pas sorceleur. On le devient. Avant d'être connu sous le nom du Loup Blanc ou du Boucher de Blaviken, Geralt de Riv était un jeune sorceleur formé à Kaer Morhen, faisant ses premiers pas dans un monde incapable de comprendre ni d'accepter ceux de son espèce. Lorsqu'un acte d'héroïsme naïf tourne mal, Geralt n'est sauvé de la corde que par Preston Holt, un sorceleur au mystérieux passé et aux motivations secrètes. Sous son aile, Geralt apprend peu à peu ce que signifie réellement s'engager sur la Voie, protéger les humains qui le craignent et survivre dans un environnement hostile en adoptant ses propres règles. Mais alors que la frontière entre le bien et le mal s'estompe, Geralt doit faire un choix : devenir le monstre que tous imaginent, ou un être totalement différent. Voici comment naît une légende, et le prix à payer pour la forger.

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!

Hiver 1429. Médecin herboriste, combattant et espion à ses heures perdues, Reynevan mène une existence toujours plus tumultueuse, affrontant de redoutables agents secrets comme des forces impures qui ne cachent pas leurs origines démoniaques.

Reynevan croit au renouveau religieux et soutient les partisans de Hus, malgré leur brutalité. Lui, l'idéaliste, le défenseur des malades et des affligés, doit alors se glisser dans la peau d'un espion hussite, d'un saboteur et d'un meurtrier.

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

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.

Az utolsó kívánság nagy sikerű folytatásában Geralt további novellákban küzd szörnyekkel, démonokkal és emberi gonoszsággal… Geralt a vajákok közé tartozik: mágikus képességeinek köszönhetően, amelyeket hosszan tartó kiképzése és egy rejtélyes elixír csak még tovább csiszolt, zseniális és könyörtelen harcos hírében áll. Ugyanakkor nem hétköznapi gyilkos: célpontjai vérszomjas szörnyetegek és aljas fenevadak, amelyek mindenütt hatalmas pusztítást végeznek, és megtámadják az ártatlanokat. A birodalmat járva azonban fokozatosan ráébred, hogy bár prédái egy része kétségtelenül elvetemült szörnyeteg, mások azonban bűn, ármány vagy egyszerű ostobaság áldozatai.

Durante mais de um século, humanos, anões e elfos conviveram em harmonia. Mas os tempos mudaram: a frágil paz que reinava foi quebrada e agora as raças lutam de novo entre si, conduzindo a mortes e chacinas. Geralt de Rivia, temido pela sua reputação de bruxo e assassino sem misericórdia, tem estado a aguardar o nascimento de uma criança profetizada, cujos poderes poderão mudar o mundo, para o bem ou para o mal. Com a ameaça de uma guerra sem fim a pairar sobre todas as nações, é posta em marcha uma perseguição à criança e aos seus poderes extraordinários. Caberá a Geralt, apenas com a ajuda de velhos amigos, protegê-la, pois o peso do fracasso será demasiado para todos.

Geralt, o bruxo, lutou contra monstros e demónios por toda a terra, mas até ele pode não estar preparado para o que está a acontecer com o seu mundo. Há intrigas, divergências e rebeliões por todo lado. Reis e exércitos estão a posicionar-se, ansiando por guerra e sangue. Os elfos ainda sofrem depois de décadas de repressão e o número de refugiados nas florestas aumenta a cada dia. Os Magos lutam entre si, alguns a soldo dos reis, outros na defesa dos elfos. E, neste caos, Geralt e Yennefer precisam de proteger Ciri, a criança da profecia que todos procuram. Pois quer viva quer morra, Ciri tem o poder de salvar o mundo... ou de o destruir.

O mundo está coberto pela neblina sufocante e cruel da guerra. Ciri, a criança da profecia, desapareceu. Procurada tanto por amigos como por adversários, assumiu a identidade de um bandido e vive em liberdade pela primeira vez na vida. Mas o cerco à sua volta está a apertar e os assassinos impiedosos de Nilfgaard seguem o seu rasto. Geralt, o bruxo, não desistiu da sua missão. Apesar das feridas, reuniu um grupo de aliados determinados a resgatar Ciri. Mas os crimes que cometeu tornaram-na famosa, e os mercenários que a procuram são implacáveis. Conseguirá Geralt salvar a jovem? E será a lendária Torre da Andorinha um porto seguro?
