Ancient dwarven mines have attracted treasure hunters, and legend has it a horned beast is killing them. With no signs of an attack, Geralt surveys the lay of the land, but the mountains are deadly, and the mines even deadlier. And in the labyrinth of the dwarven caves, what remains is best left untouched.
In collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED, the story of Geralt of Rivia continues with the Dark Horse Comics four-issue miniseries The Witcher: Blood Stone. Written by Daniel Freedman with art by Pius Bak, colors by Roman Titov, and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, the series includes main cover art from Bak, and issue #1 features variant covers from Gigi Cavenago, concept artist and illustrator Axel Sauerwald, and illustrator and graphic designer Patrycja Podkościelny. The stories based on the hit games by CD PROJEKT RED continue to explore the world of The Witcher for fans and newcomers alike.
