內容簡介
內容簡介 命運,是把危險的雙刃劍…… 獵魔士傑洛特為了保住女巫葉妮芙的性命,曾許下最後的願望,將兩人的命運緊緊相繫。 自幼被剝奪情感、自認無法愛人的他最終選擇不告而別,踏上保護人類不被邪惡侵害的旅程。 人們口耳相傳著,只有他能打敗翼蜥、為美人魚傳情、救出誤闖森林的紅衣女孩,並解開天鵝王子身上的詛咒;但傑洛特並不是只在乎報酬的冷血殺手,就像騎士一樣,獵魔士有自己的信條。 因此,當誓不獵龍的獵魔士加盟皇家屠龍隊伍,消息令所有人大吃一驚;事實上,傑洛特之所以參與,是因為他發現葉妮芙也在其中。 他必須作出抉擇:守護龍的命脈並永遠失去愛人,還是打破自己的原則來幫她完成心願? 獵魔士向來不相信命運、對它嗤之以鼻。 為了改變命運的軌跡,傑洛特決定背棄六年之約,避開驚奇之子的出生地--琴特拉。 但當他來到人類的禁地、森林種族的最後樂園「布洛奇隆」,他終究得和自己的「命運」正面交鋒…… 或許,在自然的法則之外、命運的道路之上,還存在著某種足以突破極限的力量? 獵魔士系列是波蘭國寶級奇幻大師安傑.薩普科夫斯基最精彩的作品。 「命運之劍」延續「最後的願望」成熟精鍊的短篇結構與改寫童話的趣味,全書揉合奇幻史詩、理性思辨、冷面幽默,以及中世紀生活的大雜燴,有如複雜的魔咒,令人一旦深入故事便深受吸引,無法自拔。 本書介出自蓋亞文化出版《獵魔士: 命運之劍》 The New York Times bestselling series that inspired the international hit video game: The Witcher. *Look out for Season of Storms in May 2018* Geralt is a witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin.
