Andrzej Sapkowski

A new Witcher novel starring Geralt of Rivia, filled with magic, mystery, and moral complexity.

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 infeccion incurable, como se puede encontrar unido a la caceria de uno de los ultimos dragones, en la que la cuestion no es si los cazadores conseguiran matar a la pobre bestia, sino que pasara cuando tengan que repartirse el botin. Magos, principes, estarostas, voievodas, druidas, vexlings, driadas, 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 fantastica de nuestros tiempos, un genio del lenguaje y la caracterizacion cuya prosa ya ha hechizado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo.

"Decir que la conocí sería una exageración. Pienso que, excepto el brujo y la hechicera, nadie la conoció de verdad jamás. Cuando la vi por vez primera no me causó especial impresión, incluso pese a las extraordinarias circunstancias que lo acompañaron. Se de algunos que han afirmado que al instante, a primera vista, percibieron el halito de la muerte que seguia a esta muchacha. A mi sin embargo me parecio completamente normal, y ya por entonces sabia yo que no era normal, por eso me esforce en mirar, descubrir, percibir lo extraordinario en ella. Pero nada vi y nada percibi. Nada que pudiera haber sido señal, presentimiento ni profecia de los tragicos acontecimientos posteriores. Aquellos de los que fue causa. Y aquellos que ella misma provoco."Jaskier, Medio siglo de poesiaAndrzej Sapkowski es el gran renovador de la literatura fantastica de nuestros tiempos, un genio del lenguaje y la caracterizacion cuya prosa ya ha hechizado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo.

Los grandes señores estan divididos: algunos se muestran a favor de los husitas, otros en contra. La poderosa Iglesia de Roma lanza una cruzada tras otra contra los herejes, intentando destruirlos. La horca y la antorcha recorren los campos del corazon de Europa.

Perseguido por encargo de ellos, Reynevan huye por todo el centro de Europa, escondiendose de los asesinos a sueldo. En un principio la huida es poco mas que un juego, pero pronto las cosas empiezan a complicarse.Reynevan no lo sabe, pero la huida emprendida transformara por completo su vida. Encontrara asi el verdadero amor y la verdadera amistad, vivira aventuras y peligros, y por fin participara en la guerra del lado de los mas debiles. O al menos eso cree.
