New Witcher Book Spotlights Teenage Geralt by Sapkowski

Andrzej Sapkowski's upcoming book in The Witcher series, titled "Rozdroże Kruków" (Raven's Crossing), will explore the teenage years of Geralt of Rivia, prior to the events of the main saga. Set to release on December 1 in Polish, this story details Geralt's first steps as a witcher, and the challenges he faces as he begins his journey. The narrative promises to capture Geralt's youthful idealism as it clashes with the harsh realities he encounters, all while he strives to uphold the unwritten code taught by his mentors. As The Witcher universe continues to expand with games, TV adaptations, and more, this new story dives into an era not deeply explored in past works.

The Polish release date for "Rozdroże Kruków" is December 1, with the English version expected to follow in early 2024.

The Witcher franchise has significantly expanded since its inception, transcending the original books into a beloved video game series developed by CD Projekt Red, which includes a trilogy and several spin-offs. The franchise has also inspired a successful Netflix series, comics, tabletop RPGs, and even cookbooks, indicating its widespread appeal and cultural impact. Geralt's character, with his blend of monster-fighting prowess and rich personal story, remains central to this expansive universe.
