“As they travel to the edge of the known world, townsfolk speak of many stories, but it seems that’s all they are - recitals of monsters and superstition - until a man follows Geralt with news of a devil scavenging the local fields. Get rid of the beast, but under no circumstances is it to be killed. Only how can Geralt hunt the creature, when there are no such things as devils?"
Intrigued? You should be.
Writer Salik added that this is one of her favourite Witcher stories.

“Why?” she teased (viaComicBook).
“Because of its characters who are diverse and counter-intuitive. Everyone has some ideas about devils or pixies – say farewell to them. In this story, Sapkowski plays with your established notions about heroes and villains; and plot twists as well. For me, it’s one of the wisest short stories ever, going far beyond typical fantasy quest versions of this scenario.”
The Edge of the Worldwill be published in hardback, releasing in bookstores on 17 December and comic stores on 18 December. It’ll retail for $17.99.
