The Witcher is a series of fantasy novels and short stories by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, consisting of eight books published between 1993 and 2013. The first book, The Last Wish, was released in 1993. The stories are set on a fictional, medieval-inspired landmass known as the Continent. The narrative centers on Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher, and his relationships with other key figures, including Yennefer of Vengerberg and Princess Ciri. The series combines elements of dark fantasy, folklore, and moral ambiguity. Sapkowski's work forms the foundation for the television adaptation created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich for Netflix. The series is written in Polish and has been translated into multiple languages. The books are structured as a sequence of interconnected short stories and longer novels.
