For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But that peace has now come to an end.

Geralt of Rivia, the hunter known as the Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. The one who has the power to change the world for good--or for evil.

As the threat of war hangs over the land and the child is pursued for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt's responsibility to protect them all. And the Witcher never accepts defeat.

Join Geralt of Rivia; his beloved ward and the child of prophecy, Ciri; and his ally and love, the powerful sorceress Yennefer as they battle monsters, demons, and prejudices alike in Blood of Elves, the first novel of The Witcher Saga.

Reviews for Blood of Elves (#1 Witcher)

""Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new ... fresh take on genre fantasy.""--Foundation ""Delightful, intense, irreverent, and compelling....you have to read The Witcher books because they are rife with all of the elements that make you love fiction, and especially fantasy, in the first place....In a word, The Witcher delivers.""--Hypable ""One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read.""--Nerds of a Feather ""Sapkowski has a confident and rich voice which permeates the prose and remains post-translation. I'd recommend this to any fan of heroic or dark fiction.""--SF Book Reviews ""This is a series you can sink your teeth into.""--BuzzFeed News
