"A witcher isn't born. He's made. Before he became the White Wolf, or the Butcher of Blavakin, Geralt of Rivia was just a new graduate of Kaer Morhen, stepping into a world he neither understood nor welcomed. When an innocent act of heroism turns catastrophic, he's saved from the gallows by none other than Preston Holt, an older witcher with a buried past and hidden agenda. Under Holt's tutelage, Geralt begins to learn what it means to walk the Path—to protect a world he fears, and to survive on his own terms. But as the lines between right and wrong begin to blur, Geralt will be forced to make a choice: Will he become the monster everyone expects, or something else entirely? This is the tale of mythmaking—and the price it demands."
