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.

Editorial Review

For fans of The Witcher Saga, The Last Wish is where it all began. Dive into this unpausable collection of adventure tales, recounted by the powerful monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia.

Before it became a popular video game, a Netflix hit, and a series of best-selling novels, The Witcher appeared in short stories. The Last Wish is author Andrzej Sapkowski’s first collection of action-packed fantasy tales featuring the Witcher. The stories introduce Geralt of Rivia, a revered magical being and ruthless monster hunter. After an epic battle, the weary and injured Geralt rests in a temple and recounts recent troubling events and signs of unrest to come.

A must-listen for Witcher fans, this audiobook is full of magic, wonder, danger, and the compelling characters that make up The Witcher universe—dwarves, gnomes, elves, humans, and monsters. Those familiar with the series will relish the chance to experience more of Sapkowski’s Witcher world, and newcomers will quickly be entranced. These beloved characters face trial, tribulation, and triumph in their adventures, quests, and clashes with Geralt’s quarry.

Award-winning narrator Peter Kenny reads in an engaging and emphatic tone, which immediately grabs listeners’ attention and draws them in. His passion and emphasis are perfect for portraying this complex and fantastical story, lending excitement and emotion in all the right places. The Last Witch is a wild and wonderful listen—and only the beginning of The Witcher’s story.
