A Witcher is a mutated human-most certainly a man-who possess supernatural abilities and has trained from childhood to battle monsters that emerged during the Conjunction of the Spheres. The Witcher books follow the story of the titular Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. The books were released in English in 2007, with Danusia Stok translating the first two and David French taking over duties from the third book. In the '90s, the stories were published in two collections, which were followed by five novels, all published throughout the same decade. It's not the most complicated fantasy series ever, but because the stories weren't released in chronologic order, release date won't be your best guide.The Witcher started in the '80s as a series of short stories written by Sapkowski for a fantasy magazine. If you want to read the story that The Witcher season 2's first episode is based on, for instance, you'll find it in The Last Wish, the Witcher book we recommend you start with. Generally speaking, the show changes plenty of details but takes the broad strokes of its plots directly from the Witcher stories written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, which were also the basis for the CD Projekt Red Witcher games.
