Featuring story art by Joe Querio, Piotr Kowalski, Max Bertolini, with a bonus sketchbook section and additional art by Dave Johnson (100 Bullets), Dan Panosian (Slots), Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo), Duncan Fegredo (MPH), Simon Bisley (Lobo), and a cover by Mike Mignola (Hellboy).

Geralt trails the mythical Lady of Snow in this original manga taking the witcher to new lands inspired by ancient Japan. In a new world inspired by Edo-period Japan, Geralt is faced with difficult moral choices while battling a variety of yōkai and oni, creatures inspired by Japanese myths. Each encounter drops a clue in his desperate search for a mysterious apparition known as the Lady of Snow, yuki onna, for she is the key to who Geralt seeks, but finding her won't be easy . . . Presenting a new story in The Witcher universe based on the rich traditions of Japanese folklore. Here, the role of a witcher is just as essential—as dangerous spirits and demons are constantly on the prowl.
