La vida de un brujo cazador de monstruos no es fácil. Tan pronto puede uno tener que meterse hasta el cuello en un estercolero para eliminar a la bestia carroñera que amenaza la ciudad, intentado no atrapar una infección incurable, como se puede encontrar unido a la cacería de uno de los últimos dragones, en la que la cuestión no es si los cazadores conseguirán matar a la pobre bestia, sino qué pasará cuando tengan que repartirse el botín. Magos, príncipes, estarostas, voievodas, druidas, vexlings, dríadas, juglares y criaturas de todo pelaje pueblan esta tierra, enzarzados en conflictos de supervivencia, codicia y amor, y entre ellos avanza, solitario, el brujo Geralt de Rivia.Andrzej Sapkowski es el gran renovador de la literatura fantástica de nuestros tiempos, un genio del lenguaje y la caracterización cuya prosa ya ha hechizado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo.

"De las llamitas, algunas altas y poderosas eran, vivamente brillaban y con claridad, otras por su parte eran pequeñas, vacilantes y temblorosas, y oscurecíase su luz y amortiguábase a trechos. En el mismo final había una llamita pequeña y tan débil que apenas ardía, apenas se removía, ora brillando con gran esfuerzo, ora casi, casi apagándose del todo. -¿De quién es ese fueguecillo moribundo? -preguntó el brujo. -Tuyo -respondió la Muerte." Flourens Delannoy, Cuentos y leyendas
This is the first detailed analysis of the combat capability of the British army in the Second World War. It sweeps away the myth that the army suffered from poor morale, and that it only won its battles through the use of 'brute force' and by reverting to the techniques of the First World War. Few soldiers were actively eager to close with the enemy, but the morale of the army never collapsed and its combat capability steadily improved from 1942 onwards.

Soon to be a major Netflix original series! A deadly coup within the Wizard's Guild leaves the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, gravely injured, and his ward Ciri missing in the third book of the NYT bestselling series that inspired the blockbuster video games. The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup and, in the uproar, Geralt was seriously injured. The Witcher is supposed to be a guardian of the innocent, a protector of those in need, a defender against powerful and dangerous monsters that prey on men in dark times. But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered from his injuries. While war rages across all of the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. It's an impossible situation in which to find one girl -- Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra -- until a rumor places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry the Emperor. Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.
