Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher 1: De laatste wens & Het zwaard der voorzienigheid `Toen eindelijk de dag kwam waarop ik Kaer Morhen mocht verlaten ben ik eropuit getrokken. Ik had toen al mijn medaillon, kijk, dit hier. Het teken van de School van de Wolf. Ik had ook twee zwaarden: een zilveren en een van ijzer. Behalve deze zwaarden droeg ik ook nog overtuiging bij me, geestdrift, motivatie en... geloof. Het geloof in het feit dat ik nodig en nuttig ben. Want de wereld, Iola, zit vol monsters en bestiën, en mijn opdracht is om hen te beschermen voor wie deze bestiën een bedreiging vormen.'' Dit zijn de woorden van Geralt van Rivia.

Zijn fantasy-cyclus over de tovenaar Geralt is een internationale bestseller waarvan videogames, televisieseries en een graphic novel zijn gemaakt.

Strappato alla sua famiglia quand''era soltanto un bambino, Geralt è stato sottoposto a un durissimo addestramento, durante il quale gli sono state somministrate erbe e pozioni che lo hanno mutato profondamente. Non esiste guerriero capace di batterlo e le stesse persone che lo assoldano hanno paura di lui. Lo considerano un male necessario, un mercenario da pagare per i suoi servigi e di cui sbarazzarsi il più in fretta possibile. Anche Geralt, però, ha imparato a non fidarsi degli uomini: molti di loro nascondono decisioni spietate sotto la menzogna del bene comune o diffondono ignobili superstizioni per giustificare i loro misfatti. Spesso si rivelano peggiori dei mostri ai quali lui dà la caccia. Proprio come i cavalieri che adesso sono sulle sue tracce: hanno scoperto che Geralt è gravemente ferito e non vogliono perdere l''occasione di eliminarlo una volta per tutte. Per questo lui ha chiesto asilo a Nenneke, sacerdotessa del tempio della dea Melitele e guaritrice eccezionale, nonché l''unica persona che può aiutarlo a ritrovare Yennefer, la bellissima e misteriosa maga che gli ha rubato il cuore…
