"A fantastic novel that any fan of The Witcher will instantly
appreciate." --The Gamer
Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series has become a fantasy phenomenon,
finding millions of fans worldwide and inspiring the hit Netflix show
and video games. Now the bestselling author introduces readers to a new
hero on an epic journey in The Tower of Fools, the first book of the
Hussite Trilogy. Reinmar of Bielawa, sometimes known as Reynevan, is a
healer, a magician, and according to some, a charlatan. When a
thoughtless indiscretion forces him to flee his home, he finds himself
pursuednot only by brothers bent on vengeance but by the Holy
Inquisition. In a time when tensions between Hussite and Catholic
countries are threatening to turn into war and mystical forces are
gathering in the shadows, Reynevan's journey will lead him to the
Narrenturm--the Tower of Fools. The Tower is an asylum for the mad...or
for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing
order. And escaping it, avoiding the conflict around him, and keeping
his own sanity will prove more difficult than he ever imagined
"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)
