Geralt the Witcher-revered and *hated-holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity *in this NYT bestselling series that inspired the blockbuster *Witcher videogames. Soon to *be a major Netflix series.
For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf.
Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child has the power to change the world - for good, or for evil.
As the threat of war hangs over the land and the child is hunted for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt's responsibility to protect them all - and the Witcher never accepts defeat.
Blood of Elves is the first full-length Witcher novel, and the perfect follow up if you've read The Last Wish collection*.*

Review
''Sapkowski's world, and the sense of depth, is reminiscent of Middle Earth. And while he includes all the traditional fantasy characters you would expect, Sapkowski also manages to revitalize the genre with energetic and compelling writing. A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don't miss it!'' --DREAMWATCH TOTAL SCI FI
''The character interplay is complex, unsentimental and anchored in brutal shared history. All bodes well for twisty plotting in future volumes.'' --Nic Clarke - SFX
