In hiding for โฆ A tragic tale of passion, vindication, and the root of evil is presented in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's original short story. In search of a reward, Geralt brings the carcass of a slain creature to a small town where he is told it may be of use to the local sorcererโbut the mage isnโt who he is alleged to be. In hiding for his life, he requests Geraltโs help in slaying the monster who seeks to murder himโa young woman said to have been born under the Curse of the Black Sunโa prophecy of inborn evil. He declares that she is more a monster than the creature presented before him. Geralt later encounters the woman, who asserts that it is the sorcerer who is the true monsterโcommitting unspeakable crimes at the behest of his superstitious beliefs. With the boundaries blurred between the evil that is done and the evil done in return, Geralt is met with a quandary. The face of evil is ever-changing and his verdict, whether by choice or by force, can only lead to tragedy. This graphic novel is the second in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski's acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish!
