Blood of Elves (The Witcher, 3)

"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.

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) "A&nbsp;highly enjoyable historical fantasy." --Booklist The Tower of Fools is an historical novel set during&nbsp;the Hussite Wars in Bohemia during the 1400s,&nbsp;a period of religious conflict and persecution.
