Read The Tower of the Swallow

The first Geralt collection: the striga, the djinn and how he met Yennefer.

Six stories, and the one where Geralt finds a girl named Ciri in Brokilon forest.

The saga proper begins: Ciri trains at Kaer Morhen while the kingdoms prepare for war.

The mages meet on Thanedd and the coup scatters everyone across the continent.

Geralt's company forms on the road south: Dandelion, Milva, Cahir, Regis and Zoltan.

The saga ends at Stygga castle and Rivia, with the ending fans still argue about.

A standalone Geralt adventure set between the short stories, with his swords stolen.

Sapkowski goes back to a Geralt of eighteen, fresh out of Kaer Morhen and bad at the job.
