The Last Wish - The Witcher - Andrzej Sapkowski - Paperback

The Witcher series, book 1 of 8 completed series

Geralt was always going to stand out, with his white hair and piercing eyes, his cynicism and lack of respect for authority, but he is far more than his striking appearance. He is a witcher, with powers that make him a brilliant fighter and merciless assassin, and his targets are the vile friends that ravage the land.

As guardian of the innocent, Geralt meets incestuous king with undead daughters, vengeful djinns, shrieking harpies, lovelorn vampires and despondent ghouls. Many are pernicious, some are wicked, and none are quite as they appear.

Irene's notes: This is the first book in the series, the first book and the second are short stories. After these to volumes the series continue as full length books. It is recommended to first read the Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, before you continue with the full-length volumes.
