Last Wishes

About

Last Wishes is a musical project inspired by The Last Wish, the first short story collection in Polish fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher series. The original literary work was published by SuperNowa in 1993, though it was preceded by 1992's Sword of Destiny, which is officially considered the second entry in the series. The collection contains seven short stories interspersed with a continuing frame story centered on Geralt of Rivia, a character who rests in a temple after being injured in battle and recalls recent events from his life through a series of flashbacks. The Last Wish was first published in English on June 7, 2007 by Gollancz and has been translated into several other languages. The work gained significant recognition when it won the Premio Ignotus for Best Anthology in 2003.
