Don't Miss

Season of Storms was actually published more than a decade after the other novels; and as Sapkowski has promised to never write anything set after the events of Lady of the Lake, serves as a "mid-quel" set between the events of the short stories. However, I would personally recommend reading this as the last Witcher book, being a good way to decompress from the finale. This is definitely worth a read if you have enjoyed this... (read more)

The Lady of the Lake: Witcher 5

Andrzej Sapkowski

In this thrilling conclusion to The Witcher Saga, Ciri Lady of Space and Time must decide the fate of the world, whether she wants to or not. Geralt and company embark on a suicide mission for love. Plagues, an epic bloody battle, elves and specters from a different plane, and even a Knight of the Round Table. Not everyone makes it out alive in this one, folks. Make sure you have tissues on hand.

Baptism of Fire: Witcher 3

Andrzej Sapkowski

The Brotherhood of Sorcerers has fallen from within. Geralt of Rivia lies broken and bloody in Brokilon Forrest after a destiny-altering duel. This chapter of The Witcher Saga reads like a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Full of humorous new characters, former enemies becoming friends, accidental participation in major battles, and a parrot named Field Marshall Windbag. This is as good as it gets!

The kingdom of Cintra has fallen in the flames of the Nilfgaardian Empire. The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, has finally accepted his destiny and taken Princess Cirilla under his wing. With the intention of training Ciri to become a Witcher, complications arise... (read more)

Curses will be broken, a Butcher will be named, a promise will be made, and a simple wish will bond two souls together in love until the bitter end. I cannot recommend this journey more, and it all starts here!
