Synopsis "Blood of Elves "

Andrzej Sapkowski's New York Times bestselling Witcher series has inspired the hit Netflix show and multiple blockbuster video games, and has transported millions of fans around the globe to an epic, unforgettable world of magic and adventure. 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.

Andrzej Sapkowski (1948) is a Polish fantasy writer, globally recognized for his Geralt of Rivia saga. His works are deeply influenced by Slavic culture and mythology, as well as traditional narratives. The Geralt saga, consisting of seven volumes, includes iconic titles such as The Sword of Destiny and The Blood of Elves. This series has transcended the literary realm, being adapted into film (Wiedźmin, 2001), video games (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, GOTY winner in 2015) and the Netflix series The Witcher, which has catapulted his popularity worldwide.

Sapkowski has been awarded five Zajdel Awards, one of the most prestigious in science fiction and fantasy literature in Poland, for works like The Lesser Evil (1990), The Sword of Destiny (1992) and Narrenturm (2002). The latter marks the beginning of a trilogy set during the Hussite Wars of the 15th century, showcasing his versatility as an author. With rich narratives and complex characters, Sapkowski has established himself as one of the great masters of modern fantasy.
