Ciri
Destiny connects her to Geralt, but care and trust make them a family. To him, she is far more than a prophecy.
The books and the game continuation are labelled separately. The summaries introduce the stories without revealing their endings.
More than a monster hunter
A witcher, a monster hunter, and a man who rarely manages to stand aside. His story is about more than contracts and battles: it is about choices, friendship, and family.
Geralt makes a living by tracking dangerous creatures, lifting curses, and dealing with other people’s troubles. Swords, potions, and signs help him survive, but force cannot solve every problem.
Behind his restrained manner and sharp replies is a man deeply attached to his friends. His wish to remain neutral repeatedly clashes with the need to protect those he cares about.

Training and trials
Geralt’s childhood is tied to the witcher stronghold. Training, mutations, and harsh discipline prepare him to face creatures that ordinary people cannot.
- On the road
The cost of neutrality
Travelling between towns and villages, Geralt encounters more than monsters. A contract can become a confrontation with fear, prejudice, and human cruelty.
- Yennefer and Ciri
A family of his own
His relationship with Yennefer and his bond with Ciri change his life. Caring for them becomes more important than solitude or staying out of other people’s conflicts.
The people closest to him
Five relationships that shape Geralt’s story.
Yennefer
A sorceress from Vengerberg. Their relationship is complicated, and their care for Ciri is one of their strongest bonds.
Triss Merigold
A sorceress close to Geralt and Yennefer. She helps Ciri at Kaer Morhen and has a significant role in the games.
Dandelion
A poet and bard who shares Geralt’s travels. His ballads turn the witcher’s adventures into legends.
Vesemir
