Witchers are not born. They are made.
Before he was the White Wolf or the Butcher of Blaviken, Geralt of Rivia was simply a fresh graduate of Kaer Morhen, stepping into a world that neither understands nor welcomes his kind.
And when an act of naïve heroism goes gravely wrong, Geralt is only saved from the noose by Preston Holt, a grizzled witcher with a buried past and an agenda of his own.
Under Holt's guiding hand, Geralt begins to learn what it truly means to walk the Path - to protect a world that fears him, and to survive in it on his own terms. But as the line between right and wrong begins to blur, Geralt must decide to become the monster everyone expects, or something else entirely.
This is the story of how legends are made - and what they cost.
Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series is a global phenomenon with over thirty million copies sold, translated into over forty languages worldwide. Crossroads of Ravens is a new standalone novel following fantasy's most beloved monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia, on his first steps towards becoming a legend.

From the bestselling author of Our Wives Under the Sea, a haunting, heart wrenching novel of three sisters navigating queer love and faith at the end of the world.
There’s no way to bury a body in earth which is flooded
It’s been raining for a long time now, for so long that the lands have reshaped themselves. Old places have been lost. Arcane rituals and religions have crept back into practice.
Sisters Isla, Irene and Agnes have not spoken in some time when their estranged father dies. A famous architect revered for making the new world navigable, he had long cut himself off from public life. They find themselves uncertain of how to grieve his passing when everything around them seems to be ending anyway.
As the sisters come together to clear the grand glass house that is the pinnacle of his legacy, they begin to sense that the magnetic influence of their father lives on through it. Something sinister seems to be unfolding, something related to their mother’s long-ago disappearance and the strangers who have always been unusually interested in their lives. Soon, it becomes clear that the sisters have been chosen for a very particular purpose, one with shattering implications for their family and their imperilled world.
My protector is gone, revealed to be a monster. But I remind myself that I am not a damsel. I'm no princess bound within a tower.
I am a shadow.
Vasalie Moran was once a dancer in King Illian's court – until he framed her for murder. Barely surviving her two years in the dungeons, she's suddenly called to face her King. He offers her a deal: become his spy at the month-long royal Gathering and he'll grant her freedom.
As Illian's orders grow bloody and dangerous, forcing her to harm and betray those around her, Vasalie discovers the monster she serves may be aligned with a bigger monster – one far closer to home. With her world threatened, Vasalie enlists the help of Illian's brother and greatest adversary, the King of the East.
As the rivalry between brothers escalates with Vasalie caught in the middle, the truth of her past comes to light. If she wants to survive, she must decide who to trust, who to fight for, and how much of her soul she's willing to damn in the process
Wyobraź sobie, że po śmierci dostajesz możliwość spełnienia swojego ostatniego życzenia, które przyniesie Ci ukojenie, zanim na dobre pożegnasz się z ziemskim żywotem i odejdziesz w zaświaty.
Taką propozycję składa zmarłym zagadkowa postać, określająca się mianem przewodnika dusz. Będąc łącznikiem między światem żywych a umarłych, jest w stanie zaspokoić nie tylko ciekawość zbłąkanych duchów, ale nawet ich żądzę zemsty. Mężczyzna nie pomaga jednak z altruistycznych pobudek – to jego pokuta.
Gdy pewnego dnia młody prawnik zwraca się do niego z prośbą o pomoc w wykonaniu niezwykle niebezpiecznego zadania, tajemniczy bohater, mając dług wdzięczności wobec ojca mężczyzny, zgadza się mu pomóc.
Jaką misję ma do wypełnienia przewodnik dusz? Kim tak naprawdę jest i czy można zakładać, że będzie działał w dobrej wierze?
Hannah and Eric are devout Jews living in North London with their three children and Eric's father Yosef, a Holocaust survivor. Both intellectually gifted and deeply unconventional, the Rosenthals believe in the literal truth of the Old Testament and in the presence of God (and evil) in daily life.
As Hannah prepares to publish a sensationalist account of Yosef's years in war-torn Europe - unearthing a terrible secret from his time in the camps- Elsie, her perfect daughter, starts to come undone. And then, in the wake of Yosef's death, she disappears. When she returns, just as mysteriously as she left, she is altered in disturbing ways.
Witnessing the complete transformation of her daughter, Hannah begins to suspect that Elsie has delved too deep into the labyrinths of Jewish mysticism and got lost among shadows. But for Elsie's brother Tovyah, a brilliant but reclusive student at Oxford, the truth is much simpler: his sister is the product of a dysfunctional family, obsessed with empty rituals and unbridled ambition.
But who is right? And how can they stop the darkness from engulfing Elsie forever?

Koniec V wieku. Świat się zmienia, chrześcijaństwo zaczyna coraz silniej wypierać starą wiarę. Bracia zakonni i celtyccy kapłani zwalczają się nawzajem z ukrycia. Dlatego gdy dochodzi do okrutnych morderstw mnichów, których ciała nadziano na pale poznaczone ogamami, podejrzenie w naturalny sposób pada na druidów.
Aby potwierdzić te niewiarygodne przypuszczenia, brat Gwenol i jego dawny nauczyciel, brat Budog, podejmują decyzję, by równoległe śledztwo w tej sprawie powierzyć… druidowi. Gwenc’hlan, ostatni celtycki kapłan z Armoryki, oraz towarzyszący mu uczeń Taran podejmują się tego zadania. Próbują przy tym uniknąć pułapek zastawionych przez fanatycznych przeciwników.
Wśród pozostałości neolitycznych kultów czai się mroczne zagrożenie…

Zbiór opowiadań grozy Clivea Barkera to dla czytelników okazja, by na nowo odkryć prawdziwe znaczenie słowa "strach". "Wszystkie nasze ciała to księgi krwi: Gdy nas otworzyć, widać czerwień.' Wydanie "Ksiąg krwi" z dnia na dzień uczyniło z Clivea Barkera sensację literackiego świata. Błyskotliwy zbiór niepokojących, upiornie poruszających opowiadań dowodził mrocznego talentu porównywalnego z geniuszem Poego i de Sadea. Stephen King nazwał Barkera, zdobywcę British Fantasy Award i World Fantasy Award, "przyszłością horroru". W licznych bestsellerach i powieściach graficznych, a także kasowych filmach takich chociażby jak cykl Hellraiser, Clive Barker wypracował sobie własną, niepowtarzalną markę w świecie horroru. Jego działający na wyobraźnię, niezwykle obrazowy styl wprowadził "Księgi krwi" do klasyki gatunku, a jemu samemu dał miano pisarza kultowego.
