The story of the witcher from Rivia did not fit into onethe book. Therefore Sapkowski continued to write about the adventures of Geralt until 1999. So he wrote 7 books, each of which is a logical continuation of the previous one. The complete cycle of published works about the witcher is as follows:

• "Last wish"


• "Sword of Destination"


• "Blood of the Elves"


• "The Hour of Contempt"


• "The Baptism of Fire"


• Tower of the Swallow


• "Lady of the Lake"

Do not assume that the witcher Geralt is the main character of all seven books. The second main character of the book also becomes the heir to the throne of the city of Cintra - Ciri, which later becomes a witch. Her training is not only the witches themselves, but also the sorceress Jennifer. So, be prepared to immerse yourself in the world of the witcher Geralt and witches Ciri.

Quotations from books

"- So it goes, Geralt, six years already, becausehow it was born about fourteen years ago. We had during this time and worries of a different nature, we fought with Wizimir from Novigrad, but for quite worthy, understandable reasons, since it was a matter of moving the border pillars, and not about any daughters or related ties. Foltest, by the way, is already beginning to talk about marriage again and examine the portraits sent by the neighbors' yards, which he used to send to the latrine immediately. But from time to time he finds it back, and he is sent to send out messengers in search of new sorcerers. Well, the reward was put by three thousand, because of what several madmen, wandering knights fled, even one swineherd known to the whole region of half-wits, let the earth rest in peace. A ghoul though henna. From time to time he will gnaw someone. You can get used to it. And from those heroes who are trying to disguise it, at least the good that the beast will get drunk without departing from the sarcophagus, and does not hang around outside the palace services. Foltest now lives in a new palace, quite decent. "

"Hanging on a rusty hinge massive,The iron-clad gate was decorated with a large brass beater. After a brief hesitation, Geralt reached out his hand and touched the greenish metal. And immediately rebounded, because the gate opened with a creak, dispersing the bundles of grass, pebbles and branches. Behind the gate there was nobody - just an empty yard, neglected, overgrown with nettles. The Witcher entered, leading the horse behind him. The horse, stunned by the Sign, did not resist, but her legs were stiff and insecure. "

"In contrast to priests and druids,who reluctantly took on the education of ugly or ugly girls, sorcerers accepted anyone who showed a predisposition. If the child passed through the sieve of the first years of training, magic entered into the matter - straightening and leveling the legs, correcting the fused bones, patting the hare's lips, smoothing scars, scars and traces of the transferred smallpox.
