Following the events of The Witcher novels, Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer, finds himself at the foot of the mythical witcher stronghold chased by a mysterious force. Exhausted and suffering from retrograde amnesia, he is nursed back to health by his fellow witchers and a familiar sorceress.

However, before he could put the pieces of his former life back together, the fortress is attacked by bandits led by a mysterious mage who succeed in stealing the carefully guarded secrets of the witcher order while dealing a deadly blow to one of its members. The remaining witchers embark on a search for their stolen property and a quest for revenge, spreading out to the four corners of the world. Geralt of Rivia ventures south, to the kingdom of Temeria...
