Andrzej Sapkowski Synopses: The Last Wish is a short story collection that opens The Witcher series. Geralt of Rivia is a witcher – a cunning sorcerer, a merciless assassin, and a cold-blooded killer. His lone purpose is to destroy the monsters that plague the world. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good… and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

The Malady and Other Stories contains two short stories from The Witcher series (from The Last Wish), plus first chapters from two Witcher novels as well as the title story (The Malady).
