Geralt beginnt eine neue Jagd in einer Geschichte, die von einer klassischen Fabel oder sogar zwei inspiriert ist, in der Bestien sich tarnen und Lieder den Weg zu reichhaltigen Belohnungen ebnen. Als der grösste Monsterjäger gefeiert, wird der berüchtigte Hexer Geralt in die Stadt Grimmwald gerufen. Als ein seltsames Ereignis Gerüchte über einen Werwolf, der auf der Jagd ist, auslöst, verbreiten sich Gerüchte über die Ankunft von drei wohlhabenden Schwestern, die die von Armut geplagte Stadt in ein florierendes Touristenziel verwandelt haben, doch dieser Wandel wurde nicht von allen Bewohnern der Stadt begrüsst. Wandel erzeugt mehr als nur Angst und Wut; er kann neue Feinde und sogar Monster hervorbringen. Mit einem grossen Geheimnis und einem Biest, das es zu erlegen gilt, könnte Dandelion genau die Inspiration finden, die er braucht, um die perfekte Ballade zu schreiben. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit CD Projekt Red erstellt! Enthält die Ausgaben #1-#4 der Dark Horse Comics-Serie The Witcher: The Ballad of Two Wolves.

From land to sea, Geralt finds that where man and creature coexist, there is an unspoken rule—one where the skills of a witcher go beyond killing monsters. When a job at sea takes a bloody turn, Geralt is washed ashore on a strange new land. Taken in by local hunters, they discover a bargain to be had—a task for an indebted witcher and a share in the reward. But an omnipresent eye watches their every move, and Geralt is soon dragged into a conflict between the hunters and a mysterious clan known to kill humans. Created in close collaboration with CD Projekt Red! Collects issues #1–#4 of the Dark Horse Comics series The Witcher: Wild Animals, written by Bartosz Sztybor (The Witcher: The Ballad of Two Wolves, Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners) with stunning art by Nataliia Rerekina (Moonchosen) and colors by Patricio Delpeche (Strange Skies Over East Berlin).

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE MONTH A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK As winter comes and the hours of darkness overtake the light, we seek out warmth, good food, and good company. But beneath the jollity and bright enchantment of the festive season, there lurks a darker mood - one that has found expression over the centuries in a host of strange and unsettling traditions and lore. Here, Sarah Clegg takes us on a journey through midwinter to explore the lesser-known Christmas traditions, from English mummers plays and Austrian Krampus runs, to modern pagan rituals at Stonehenge and the night in Finland when a young girl is crowned with candles as St Lucy - a martyred Christian girl who also appears as a witch leading a procession of the dead. At wassails and hoodenings and winter gatherings, attended by ghastly, grinning horses, snatching monsters and mysterious visitors, we discover how these traditions originated and how they changed through the centuries, and we ask ourselves: if we can't keep the darkness entirely at bay, might it be fun to let a little in?
