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.

A collection of short stories that give you a general sense of the world, and Geralt & company as we tag along various different Witcher jobs of varying difficulty. S01 of the Netflix show does not do The Last Wish Justice. But Henry Cavill is a damn good Geralt (despite not looking like him and being too handsome frankly). If you thought that the first season’s non-linear approach to storytelling and plot pacing were confusing and unnecessary, reading this will clear things up much better and (obviously) with more detail.
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.
“People”—Geralt turned his head—“like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves.”

Meet Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher. We follow Geralt along in his adventures against vicious monsters and interactions with friends and foes. Fun short tales to pique the story lover's interest.
