Geralt must protect Dandelion in Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher: The Last Wish

In collaboration with CD Projekt Red, the original short stories which brought to life Geralt of Rivia, continues with the Dark Horse Comics adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher: The Last Wish. Carefully adapted by CD Projekt Red editor and writer Marcin Zwierzchowski, with the English adaptation by Stefan Kiełbasiewicz, art by Guillermo Fajardo, colors by Neeraj Menon, and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Like the previous adaptations, A Grain of Truth, The Lesser Evil, A Question of Price, The Edge of the World and The Witcher, Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher: The Last Wish will be presented in a beautiful hardcover volume. Kai Carpenter returns as the cover artist for the sixth short story adaptation.

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?

Grant your wish for more of The Witcher in Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher: The Last Wish when the expanded 72 page paperback arrives in bookstores and comic shops on August 11 and 12, 2026 for $19.99. Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local bookstore or comic shop.
