THE LAST WISH: Witcher Series Short Stories by Andrzej Sapkowski

The legendary journey begins here. Meet Geralt of Rivia—a Witcher mutated by ancient magic and rigorous training, revered by those he protects yet deeply feared and hated by the very society he defends. As a monster hunter for hire, he roams a gritty, uncompromising continent holding the line against the terrifying beasts plaguing humanity. This groundbreaking collection of adventures serves as the definitive first chapter in Andrzej Sapkowski’s epic fantasy masterpiece, which went on to inspire the global hit Netflix streaming series and the critically acclaimed, blockbuster video game franchise.

Geralt is no ordinary mercenary killer; his body has been enhanced by rare, mysterious elixirs to make him a flawless fighter, a swift tracker, and a merciless hunter. Yet, as he travels through this beautifully realized dark fantasy world, he quickly discovers that the lines between good and evil are violently blurred. Not everything monstrous-looking is inherently evil, and not everything fair, beautiful, or regal is automatically good. Deconstructively subverting classic fairytales with a sharp edge, each story proves that within every legend, myth, and folk story lies a profound, often bloody grain of truth.

This essential dark fantasy volume is authored by Andrzej Sapkowski, the brilliant Polish master of fiction who has earned both the World Fantasy Award and the David Gemmell Legend Award for his incredible contributions to the genre. It stands as a towering pillar in the fantasy fiction best selling category, with over fifteen million copies sold worldwide and a permanent spot on Forbes' list of the greatest book series of all time. The atmospheric world-building, morally grey characters, and sharp, ironic dialogue of Andrzej Sapkowski make THE LAST WISH: Witcher Series Short Stories a masterful, unmissable entry point into a legendary epic.
