A tragic tale of passion - vindication - and the root of evil is presented in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's original short story.

In search of a reward - Geralt brings the carcass of a slain creature to a small town where he is told it may be of use to the local sorcerer-but the mage isn't who he is alleged to be.

In hiding for his life - he requests Geralts help in slaying the monster who seeks to murder him-a young woman said to have been born under the Curse of the Black Sun-a prophecy of inborn evil. He declares that she is more a monster than the creature presented before him. Geralt later encounters the woman - who asserts that it is the sorcerer who is the true monster - committing unspeakable crimes at the behest of his superstitious beliefs. With the boundaries blurred between the evil that is done and the evil done in return - Geralt is met with a quandary. The face of evil is ever-changing and his verdict - whether by choice or by force - can only lead to tragedy.

This graphic novel is the second in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski's acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish!
