Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher: A Grain of Truth

<b>Geralt’s encounter with a beast reveals the truth behind fairy tales in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's original short story.</b><br><br>Geralt takes a short cut down a beaten path, where he makes a grim discovery of two corpses. Backtracking their trail, he’s led to a derelict mansion secured with elevated walls and a gate—mysterious and ramshackle, yet adorned with a rare elegance Geralt could not ignore. He is met with the mansion’s owner—not quite human, but a beast with the faculties of a man. With Geralt unfazed by his monstrous appearance and displays of aggression, the beast invites him inside. A kind but wary host, he shares stories of his family, his life . . . and his curse. If the weight of his misdeeds could condemn him to the body of a beast—a retribution spoken of only in fairy tales, could there be another <i>grain of truth </i>in these tales of fantasy—one that could help him elude his fate and lead him to salvation?<br> <br>This graphic novel is the first in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski's acclaimed short story collection <i>The Last Wish</i>! Script adaptation by Jacek Rembiś (<i>Frostpunk)</i> with art by Jonas Scharf (<i>Bone Parish</i>,<i> War for the Planet of the Apes).</i><br>
