The Witcher Volume 1

Geralt of Rivia is a disturbing man, a mutant who became the perfect assassin thanks to magic and long training. In these dark times, ogres, ghouls and vampires abound, and magicians are expert manipulators. Against these threats, you need a hitman up to the task, and Geralt is more than a warrior or a mage. He's a witcher...

In this first volume, a macabre encounter in a forest leads Geralt to an abandoned castle and its curious host: Nivellen, a creature with a monstrous appearance but very civilized manners. Over the course of a meal, Nivellen talks about his past, his family, and the curse that overwhelms him. If the weight of his faults condemned him to this appearance of a beast - a punishment dear to fairy tales - could there also be a grain of truth in these legends, a grain of truth which would help him to ward off fate? ?
