Publisher Marketing: 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).
