Hi! Newcomer here.
I am looking for a book that revolves around hunting/fighting/slaying beasts. The first thing that comes to my mind is The Witcher series, by Andrzej Sapkowski, so I am looking for something along those lines.
I am interested in flesh-and-bone, animal-like beasts/monsters, for example, mythological beasts such as dragons, chimaeras, hydras, etc. as opposed to human-like monsters (think vampires, ghosts, werewolves, etc.). Also with loads of action, the more violent and gory it is, the better. I would also like the book to portray monster/beast hunting as a glorious endeavor (think of a hero slaying a dragon and receiving praise for it, for example), but this last point is optional.
