When a strange occurrence stirs murmurs of a werewolf on the prowl, rumors spread about the peculiar arrival of three Piglet sisters. With a grand mystery and a monster to kill, Dandelion may just find the inspiration he needs to write the perfect ballad.
A bloody massacre! With the murder of a Hogge sister and all signs pointing to the werewolf-blood is on Geralt's hands! But the accusations get more tangled with each telling, and with her last grasp for survival, the slain sister may hand them a clue to her killer's identity.
There's a grain of truth to every story and with Geralt's eyes on every suspect, the better for him to see through the lies. With monsters lurking in every size, shape, and pedigree, fate takes a turn. Vengeance is a cycle, life is a tragedy, and a ballad can rewrite history.
