Soon to be a major Netflix original series!
This special boxed set includes the first three novels in Andrzej Sapkowski's NYT bestselling epic fantasy saga -- the books that introduced the world to The Witcher and inspired the hit video games.
For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf.
Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child 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 hunted for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt's responsibility to protect them all -- and the Witcher never accepts defeat.
In Blood of Elves, The Time of Contempt, and Baptism of Fire, Sapkowski brings a fresh new voice to fantasy fiction, creating something wholly dark and exciting in this world of monsters and witchers.

Review:
"The universe of Sapkowski's The Witcher is one of the most detailed and best-explored in modern fantasy, offering endless opportunities for fresh ideas ... Complex character relationships enrich this already complex world; this is the sort of series fantasy fans will cherish."--B&N
"One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read. Though it functions well as adventure fiction, it has added depth and value as satire and commentary on fantasy literature ... Sapkowski is a genuine stylist."--Nerds of a Feather
"The Witcher delivers one of the most intense and rewarding role-playing experiences this year."--GT Reviews on The Witcher video game
"Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodgepodge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humor. Recommended."--Time
"A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don't miss it!"-- Fantasy Book Review

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. This unopened box set is a collection of the first three novels in the "Witcher" series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The books are set in a fantasy world and follow the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, a witcher (a hunter of monsters and supernatural creatures) as he travels the world, completing quests and facing danger. "Blood of Elves" is the first book in the series and introduces readers to the world of the witchers and the political intrigue that surrounds them. "The Time of Contempt" sees Geralt navigating a world that is becoming increasingly hostile to witchers, as tensions rise between humans and non-humans. "Baptism of Fire" finds Geralt caught up in the midst of a war and facing new challenges as he battles to protect those he loves. The trilogy is known for its rich world-building, complex characters, and thrilling action sequences, and has been widely praised for its imaginative and engrossing storytelling. The books have been widely popular and have inspired a video game series, comic books, and a Netflix television show, among other adaptations. The "Witcher Boxed Set" is an essential collection for fans of the fantasy genre and for those looking for an epic, action-packed adventure. Three-book boxed set sealed in publisher's shrink wrap.
