Synopsis

From the globally bestselling author of The Witcher comes the final book in the rich historical epic, the Hussite trilogy. Join Reynevan—scoundrel, magician, possibly a fool—as he embarks on a last great adventure across the war-riddled landscape of 15th century Bohemia.

After his adventures in The Tower of Fools and Warriors of God, Reynevan is on the run again, harried by enemies—some human, and some mystical—at every turn. These are cruel and dangerous times for a man such as Reynevan, and to survive, he must set aside his history as a peaceful healer and idealist and play the brutal role of Hussite spy as crusades sweep through Silesia and the Czech Republic, and the world around him is forever changed.

Praise for 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
  
“Sapkowski's energetic and satirical prose as well as the unconventional setting makes this a highly enjoyable historical fantasy.” —Booklist

About Andrzej Sapkowski

Sapkowski was born in 1948 in Poland. He studied economy and business, but the success of his fantasy cycle about the sorcerer Geralt de Rivia turned him into a bestselling writer and he is now one of Poland's most famous and successful authors, selling more in his own country than Stephen King or Michael Crichton.

Goodreads review by Marek on March 06, 2014

Trylogia Husycka to mistrzostwo polskiej fantastyki. Choć stwierdzenie, że jest to „tylko” fantastyka byłoby trochę nieuczciwe, nazwałbym to powieścią historyczną (1420-36) z elementami fikcji (taki historyczny magiczny realizm). Każda z części posiada niesamowity scholastyczny, średniowieczny klima......more

Idealai linkę išsisklaidyti. Tam padeda susidūrimas su realybe. Karai vardan švento tikslo linkę virsti karais iš išskaičiavimo, karais, siekiant pasipelnyti. Tam padeda žmogiškoji natūra, gana tolima nuo idealo. Kova su teroru linkusi virsti teroru (drakonas mirė, tegyvuoja drakonas). O politika –......more

3.5 stars This is the final book in this historical fantasy trilogy. This author has a distinctive style (or at least a distinctive translation) with a dense story. This series has very little fantasy and so will most appeal to readers who enjoy the historical aspects. In terms of the story, I most s......more

Goodreads review by Piotr on July 13, 2010

In his Witcher saga Sapkowski failed to come up with a reasonable ending. This time he did it well. It is full of interesting details which you just love to much on, especially when reading it for the second time. Oh and I cried in the middle of the book.......more
