Geralt the Witcher--revered and hated--holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in this collection of adventures, the first chapter in Andrzej Sapkowski's groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games. Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless hunter. Yet he is no ordinary killer. His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

I found out about this book through The Witcher games. The universe is incredibly reach and each of the short stories in this book adds another layer to the world. The story of a monster hunter that travels the world is incredibly interesting.
Great book for starting the Witcher
If you've seen Netflix's Witcher series, this book covers the events from season 1. The books are well written, gripping and hard to put down. Highly recommended.
