“Driven by unhealthy curiosity, Dandelion breaks a magic seal and unleashes a djinn whom he hopes will grant his wishes. Instead, the creature attacks him, leaving him with wounds only a mage can heal. Geralt rushes the bard to a nearby town, but in a city where casting spells carries heavy penalties, there is only one sorceress who might help—Yennefer of Vengerberg. Despite her beauty, grace, and zeal, can she be trusted? With the djinn set loose, Geralt is at the mercy of magic. And as a struggle for power and control begins, wishes are made, but whose are being granted?”
“This story is really special, as it introduces one of the most important characters in Geralt’s life — Yennefer. And what an introduction it is! She’s fierce, and as beautiful as she is dangerous. We needed to get Yennefer right. And when I saw Guillermo’s first designs for her, and saw how he captured this duality in her, I knew the whole story would now work.”
