(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
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

Starred review from August 8, 2022
Bestseller Sapkowski (Warriors of God) delivers a knockout blow in the epic conclusion to his dense historical fantasy trilogy about the religious wars of the mid–15th century. Reynevan (aka Reinmar of Bielawa), sometime physician and sorcerer, now full-time heretic, continues to serve the Hussite cause even as the objects of his love, Jutta Apolda, and his vengeance, Birkart Grellenort, keep eluding his grasp. Fatigue is setting in, too, as the Catholic and Hussite, Pole and Czech factions all look for a final strike to end the continuous raids and atrocities. Sapkowski intricately details the grit and grime of war, where even the most sacred relic may be sacrificed in the name of victory. Removing any romanticizing lens on his vast cast’s heroics, he spares neither the guilty nor the innocent—nor fan favorite characters—as all sides compromise to reduce the fires of fanaticism. Readers willing to plunge deep into Bohemian history will be richly rewarded with an appreciation for how bloody crusades look from the bottom up.
