The Witcher
"Later it was said that the man came from the north from the Powroznicza gate. He walked on foot, and led his horse, which was laden, by the bridle. It was late afternoon and the stalls of the ropemakers and saddlers were already closed, and the street was empty. It was warm, and the man was wearing a black cloak thrown over his shoulders. He was drawing attention." - So begins the short story "The Witcher" by Andrzej Sapkowski, which gave rise to a seven-volume series.

1. Childhood
An old witcher appears at the home of young Geralt's parents, wanting to take the boy away, as promised to him long ago under the so-called law of surprise. The father stands up for his son, but is quickly overpowered. Geralt ends up in the mountain fortress of Kaer Morhen. Here, young candidates have long been subjected to magical trials, mutations, and training designed to transform them into witchers—reliable killing machines. Only one in five boys survives all the trials. Upon seeing the boy, the priest Vesemir decides to subject him to experiments that have never been tried before.
