Andrzej Sapkowski was born in 1948 in Poland. He studied economy and business, but the success of his fantasy cycle about the Witcher Geralt of Rivia turned him into a bestselling writer. His work has received Poland's Janusz A. Zajdel prize five times, as well as Great Britain's David Gemmell Award for Fantasy, in 2009. In 2016, he received the World Fantasy Award--Life Achievement. The Witcher has been adapted to a successful video-game franchise, and is now a series on Netflix.

new ... fresh take on genre fantasy."--Foundation

first place....In a word, The Witcher delivers."--Hypable
"One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever
read."--Nerds of a Feather
