Geralt the Witcher has fought monsters and demons across the land, but even he may not be prepared for what is happening to his world. The kings and armies are manoeuvring for position, each fearing invasion from across the river, each fearing their neighbours more. Intrigue, dissent and rebellion are on all sides. The Elves and other non-humans are still suffering under decades of repression, and growing numbers join the commando units hidden deep in the forest, striking at will and then dissolving into the trees.

Geralt. The witcher whose mission is to protect ordinary people from the monsters created with magic. A mutant who has the task of killing unnatural beings. He uses a magical sign, potions and the pride of every witcher - two swords, steel and silver. But what would happen if Geralt lost his weapons?

Reynevan begins by hiding away in Bohemia but soon leaves for Silesia, where he carries out dangerous secret missions entrusted to him by the leaders of the Hussite religion. At the same time, he strives to avenge the death of his brother and discover the whereabouts of his beloved. Once again pursued by multiple enemies, Reynevan is constantly getting into and out of trouble.

The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup and, in the uproar, Geralt was seriously injured.

But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered from his injuries. While war rages across all of the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it.

After walking through the portal in the Tower of Swallows while narrowly escaping death, Ciri finds herself in a completely different world...an Elven world. She is trapped, with no way out. Time does not seem to exist, and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world. But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt, and his companions - and to try to conquer her worst nightmare.

Reinmar of Bielau, called Reynevan, flees after being caught in an affair with a knight's wife.With strange, mystical forces gathering in the shadows and pursued not only by the Stercza brothers bent on vengeance, but also by the Holy Inquisition, Reynevan finds himself in the Narrenturm, the Tower of Fools, a medieval asylum for the mad, or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order.

Her crimes have made her famous. There is only one place left to run. The tower of the swallow is waiting.

For more than a hundred years humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over and now the races once again fight each other - and themselves: dwarves are killing their kinsmen, and elves are murdering humans and elves, at least those elves who are friendly to humans...Into this tumultuous time is born a child for whom the witchers of the world have been waiting.

Every legend has an origin - and Geralt of Rivia's begins here. In this brand-new chapter of Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series, follow Geralt in his earliest days as a Witcher, as he faces monsters and humans alike...

Reynevan is besieged on all sides and faces torture and execution if he makes any mistake in his quest to find his beloved, Jutta of Apolda. Aided by his companions—the ever-pragmatic Scharley and the mysterious being known as Samson Honeypot—his journey takes him all over the Bohemian realm. And Reynevan will need every ounce of his wit, intelligence and cunning if he is to succeed in his search. The political and religious alliances of the Hussite Wars are ever shifting, and the battle for dominance threatens to devour anyone who gets in their way.

Avant d'être connu sous le nom du Loup Blanc ou du Boucher de Blaviken, Geralt de Riv était un jeune sorceleur formé à Kaer Morhen, faisant ses premiers pas dans un monde incapable de comprendre ni d'accepter ceux de son espèce. Lorsqu'un acte d'héroïsme naïf tourne mal, Geralt n'est sauvé de la corde que par Preston Holt, un sorceleur au mystérieux passé et aux motivations secrètes. Sous son aile, Geralt apprend peu à peu ce que signifie réellement s'engager sur la Voie, protéger les humains qui le craignent et survivre dans un environnement hostile en adoptant ses propres règles.

Non si nasce strigo. Lo si diventa. Prima di diventare noto come il Lupo Bianco o il Macellaio di Blaviken, Geralt di Rivia era solo un ragazzo appena uscito dall'accademia di Kaer Morhen e gettato in un mondo che non comprende né accetta i cacciatori di mostri come lui. E, quando un atto che lui ingenuamente crede di eroismo si risolve in un disastro, a salvarlo dalla forca è Preston Holt, uno strigo burbero dal passato oscuro, che dietro quell'apparente slancio di generosità nasconde interessi personali poco limpidi.

Geralt de Riv, le Sorceleur, ne peut plus mener sa mission à bien. On lui a dérobé ses armes légendaires, l'empêchant d'exercer ses talents de tueur dans un monde qui a pourtant plus que jamais besoin de ses services. Alors qu'on lui demande d'assurer la sécurité du souverain pour ses noces, Geralt se trouve pris au cœur d'une intrigue politique qui le dépasse.

Das Königreich Kerack wird von Kämpfen um den Thron erschüttert. Auf der Suche nach Arbeit reist der Hexer Geralt von Riva dorthin und wird kurz nach seiner Ankunft verhaftet. Die Zauberin Koralle will ihn so zwingen, den Auftrag einer Gruppe von Zauberern anzunehmen. Er soll einen Dämon finden, der in Menschengestalt blutige Massaker verübt. Mit Unterstützung des Troubadours Rittersporn wieder frei, beginnt Geralt eine erotische Affaire mit Koralle und nimmt den Auftrag an.

"Was soll man von dir halten - ein Hexer, der jeden zweiten Tag ein einträgliches Angebot ausschlägt? Die Hirikka tötest du nicht, weil die am Aussterben sind, den Streitling nicht, weil er unschädlich ist, die Nächtin nicht, weil sie nett ist, den Drachen nicht, weil's der Kodex verbietet..." Der Hexer Geralt von Riva verdient seinen Lebensunterhalt recht und schlecht mit dem Beseitigen von allerlei Ungeheuern. Nicht selten begegnen ihm die Leute, die ihn anheuern, mit tiefem Argwohn.
