Blood of Elves
Summary
Watch for the signs! What signs these shall be, I say unto you: first the earth will flow with the blood of Aen Seidhe, the Blood of Elves.... For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf. Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child has the power to change the world - for good, or for evil. As the threat of war hangs over the land and the child is hunted for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt's responsibility to protect them all - and the Witcher never accepts defeat. Following The Last Wish, Blood of Elves is the new novel starring Geralt of Rivia, the inspiration for the critically acclaimed videogame The Witcher.

The Tower of Fools
Summary
Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series has become a fantasy phenomenon, finding millions of fans worldwide and inspiring the hit Netflix show and video games. Now the best-selling author introduces listeners to a beloved new hero on an epic journey in The Tower of Fools, the first book of the Hussite Trilogy. "A ripping yarn delivered with world-weary wit, bursting at the seams with sex, death, magic and madness." (Joe Abercrombie) "This is historical fantasy done right." (Publishers Weekly, starred review) "A fantastic novel that any fan of The Witcher will instantly appreciate." (The Gamer) Reinmar of Bielawa, sometimes known as Reynevan, is a healer, a magician, and according to some, a charlatan. When a thoughtless indiscretion forces him to flee his home, he finds himself pursued - not only by brothers bent on vengeance, but by the Holy Inquisition. In a time when tensions between Hussite and Catholic countries are threatening to turn into war and mystical forces are gathering in the shadows, Reynevan's journey will lead him to the Narrenturm - the Tower of Fools. The Tower is an asylum for the mad...or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order. And escaping it, avoiding the conflict around him, and keeping his own sanity will prove more difficult than he ever imagined.

Il tempo della guerra
Summary
Tre ombre cavalcano nella notte. Sono tre sicari, lanciati all'inseguimento della loro prossima vittima. Tuttavia non sanno di essere a loro volta seguiti da una creatura più forte e più resistente di qualsiasi essere umano: Geralt di Rivia, l'assassino di mostri. In circostanze normali, lo strigo non si sporcherebbe le mani per eliminare dei comuni criminali, ma stavolta è diverso. Perché quei tre sono stati assoldati per uccidere la principessa Ciri e, se ci riusciranno, il mondo intero sarà perduto: Ciri è la Fiamma di Cintra, la maga di cui parlano le profezie, l'unica forza in grado di contrastare i piani dell'imperatore di Nilfgaard - lo spietato conquistatore del Nord - e di riportare la pace tra i popoli della terra. Per questo è essenziale che Ciri arrivi sana e salva sull'isola di Thanedd, dove si stanno radunando tutti gli altri maghi. E Geralt è disposto a ogni sacrificio pur di proteggere il suo cammino. Però nessuno può immaginare che la principessa non sarà al sicuro nemmeno sull'isola. Sebbene sia difesa da incantesimi potentissimi, le spie di Nilfgaard sono infatti sbarcate persino in quel luogo isolato. E adesso sono in attesa, pronte a colpire...

Gottesstreiter
Summary
Prag, im Jahr des Herrn 1427. Hinter der Apotheke "Zum Erzengel" betreibt ein Kreis von Magiern ein geheimes Laboratorium samt Bibliothek. Hier wird auch der Medikus Reinmar von Bielau, genannt Reynevan, häufig gesehen. Was dem taboritischen Geheimdienst nicht entgeht, der Reynevan des Überfalls auf einen Steuereintreiber verdächtigt und deshalb beobachtet. Der Papst hat gerade seine Bulle "Salvatoris Omnium" verkündet, in welcher er zum Kreuzzug gegen die böhmischen Ketzer aufruft. Reynevan nutzt die Wirren der kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen, um der Stadt den Rücken zu kehren. Denn die Begegnung mit Jan Smiøický von Smiøice, der seinen Bruder auf dem Gewissen hat und auch ihn umbringen wollte, hat Reynevan auf den Gedanken gebracht, nach Schlesien zurückzukehren und Rache zu suchen. Auch hofft er immer noch auf eine Lösung für den Zauber, der über seinem Gefährten Samson liegt eine solche Lösung könnte sich, wie man ihm zuträgt, am ehesten auf Schloss Trosky finden, wo der Magier Rupilius residiert. Reynevan hat also wieder einmal ziemlich viel im Kopf in welchem ihm außerdem ständig die angebetete Nicoletta herumspukt.>> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung genießt du exklusiv nur bei Audible.

Lux perpetua
Summary
Der letzte Teil der Hussiten-Trilogie von Andrzej Sapkowski beginnt dramatisch: Reynevan, der Kräuterkundler und Medicus, wird von seinem Erzfeind, dem Bischof von Breslau, auf spektakuläre Weise wegen "Verbrechen und Zauberei" verdammt. Er verliert dennoch nicht den Mut, sondern sucht weiter nach seiner Nicoletta, die von Anhängern des Bischofs entführt worden ist. Seine Suche führt ihn nach Schlesien, Böhmen und auch in die deutschen Gebiete, durch die sich ein blutiger Krieg wälzt... Auf den katholischen Kreuzzug reagieren die Hussiten mit vernichtenden Kriegszügen, in denen sie rauben, mordbrennen und sich zu furchtbaren Grausamkeiten hinreißen lassen. Auch Reynevan, der auf ihrer Seite kämpft, verübt schreckliche Taten. Doch allmählich macht er eine Wandlung durch. Angesichts der Gräueltaten um ihn herum verliert er seinen naiven Idealismus, hört auf, an die "einzig wahre Sache" zu glauben.
