Geralt of Rivea. Butcher of blaviken White Wolf. Witcher. He's had many names over the years. In this tale, he comes to the aid of a local village who believes a monster plagues the wood that sorround them. They ask Geralt to dispatch of this monster. He obliges. It is here he meets a young lass who, unlike the others, does not seem to fear or hate him. Alieena does not hate. Anyone. She is incapable of that emotion. Geralt of Rivia is no exception. She finds herself drawn to the Witcher, despite the warnings that Witcher's don't have the capility to feel. (I claim no rights over the Witcher or it's characters. This is a work of fiction.)

"Beware the Wolf. He comes in the night, seeking that which he might devour." Iliria is trapped. Forced to endure unimaginable pain at the hands of her very father, she believes death is her only freedom. Jaskier, a humble bard that visits on occasion, is her only comfort. Then, one day, he is not alone. Geralt of Rivia is there to fight a monster. only, he finds that the true monsters are not those that haunt the forests. He meets Iliria and his world changes. For better or for worse, that remains to be seen. (I would like to point out that, in this particular book, there is no child surprise. Ciri does not exist here. Most, if not all, of the events of the show The Witcher will be omitted or changed slightly.)
