The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, holds the fate of the world in his
hands in the New York Times bestselling first novel in the Witcher
series that inspired the Netflix show and video games. For more
than a hundred years, humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived
together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy
peace is over and now the races are fighting once again - killing
their own kind and each other. Into this tumultuous time is born a
child of prophecy, Ciri, surviving heiress of a bloody revolution,
whose strange abilities can change the world - for good, or for
evil... As the threat of war hangs over the land, Geralt the
Witcher must protect Ciri from those who are hunting the child for
her destructive power. But this time, Geralt may have met his
match. Translated by Danusia Stok.
In Disney's live-action film "Beauty and the Beast," Belle, a
bright, beautiful, and independent young woman, is taken prisoner
by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the
castle's enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast's
hideous exterior and realise the kind heart and soul of the true
Prince inside. Soft, warm, bright colours show Belle's optimistic
view of the world in this full-colour manga-style graphic novel,
which explores Belle's innermost thoughts as she learns that true
beauty comes from within. Also available: Disney Beauty and the
Beast: The Beast's Tale.
