About The Witcher

Based on the best selling series of fantasy books, The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family. Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than the beasts they fear – but when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorcerous, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly hostile Continent together.
