Good to know

It introduces the witcher Geralt and his famous fight with a striga.

The Last Wish

Sin manifests into bloodlust in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's original short story. Geralt pursues a proclamation from a king of a bloodthirsty monster plaguing his palace. A hefty reward is offered to cure the beast, but not to kill it, for the king holds a secret—what lies beneath the palace is beyond the spawn of evil. Tried and failed by charlatans, Geralt sets out to claim the bounty—by decree of the king or by the pleas of those who wish the creature dead.

Adaptation of the short story from The Last Wish.

The Witcher is the very first instalment of the series that follows the story of Geralt from Rivia. Being found unconscious on the battlefield he must retrieve his memory and help the emperor's daughter, Adda to stop her from turning in to a feral monster. Facing the biggest enemy, Salamander, Geralt must also help all the fractions around the world to find peace between each other.

The game states that the events of the last book happened 5 years prior to the game, this conflict with the books because the events happen in 1268 so it's only two years.
