Discover the Witcher series like you’ve never heard it before in this brand-new, immersive audio production with music, sound design, and a full cast. Geralt the Witcher – revered and hated – holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in The Last Wish, the first collection of Witcher stories and the beginning chapter in Andrzej Sapkowski’s groundbreaking epic fantasy series.
Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless hunter. Yet he is no ordinary killer. His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.
But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.
Andrzej Sapkowski’s epic fantasy Witcher series is a global phenomenon that inspired the blockbuster video games and hit Witcher Netflix show.

Reviews
Captivating, often nerve-wracking, and truthfully . . . rip-roaring fun
Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new . . . [a] fresh take on genre fantasy
Character interplay is complex, unsentimental, and anchored in brutal shared history
Sapkowski has a confident and rich voice which permeates the prose and remains post-translation. I'd recommend this to any fan of heroic or dark fiction
Delightfully dry humour, mythology brimming with radical creatures and a group of interesting characters, The Last Wish is a great introduction to this universe
Geralt is one of the great characters in all of fantasy. Whether you're coming from the games, TV show, or are simply new to the Witcher universe - these books are absolutely worth the read
Delightful, intense, irreverent, and compelling....you have to read The Witcher books because they are rife with all of the elements that make you love fiction, and especially fantasy, in the first place . . . In a word, The Witcher delivers
There's lots of imagination on show, the writing has a strong voice, and the Witcher is an entertaining character
Sapkowski revitalizes the genre with energetic and compelling writing. A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don't miss it!
This is a series you can sink your teeth into
Refreshing and a lot of fun to read
One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read
Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humour. Recommended
