Geralt is caught in a web of lies as the truth behind the werewolf is distorted by the townsfolk and Hogge sisters' own agendas. But if it's not slaughter that the wolf craves, then what is?

A bloody massacre! With the murder of a Hogge sister and all signs pointing to the werewolf—blood is on Geralt's hands! But the accusations get more tangled with each telling, and with her last grasp for survival, the slain sister may hand them a clue to her killer's identity.

There's a grain of truth to every story and with Geralt's eyes on every suspect, the better for him to see through the lies. With monsters lurking in every size, shape, and pedigree, fate takes a turn. Vengeance is a cycle, life is a tragedy, and a ballad can rewrite history.

Geralt begins a new hunt in a story inspired by a classic fable or even two—where beasts are in disguise and songs pave the way to bountiful rewards. Hailed as the greatest monster slayer—the infamous witcher Geralt is beckoned to the town of Grimmwald. When a strange occurrence stirs murmurs of a werewolf on the prowl, rumors spread surrounding the arrival of three wealthy sisters—who turned the poverty-stricken town into a flourishing tourist destination, but this change wasn't welcome by all the town's residents. Change creates more than fear and anger—but can conceive new enemies . . . and even monsters. With a grand mystery and a beast to slay, Dandelion may just find the inspiration he needs to write the perfect ballad. Created in close collaboration with CD Projekt Red! Collects issues #1-#4 of the Dark Horse Comics series The Witcher: The Ballad of Two Wolves.
