This New York Times bestseller introduces Geralt the Witcher, who holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in this first book in the award-winning series that inspired the hit Netflix show

Andrzej Sapkowski was born in 1948 in Poland. He studied economy and business, but the success of his fantasy cycle about the Witcher Geralt of Rivia turned him into a bestselling writer and he is now one of Poland's most famous and successful authors, selling more in his own country than Stephen King or Michael Crichton.
