Andrzej Sapkowski Finishes New Witcher Book After a Decade

Good news for The Witcher fans! Andrzej Sapkowski has finished writing a new book in the series, the first since 2013. Expected to release in early 2025, this new addition might connect to one of the most loved stories in the Witcher universe, A Little Sacrifice. Let’s take a look at what we know so far.

A Long-Awaited Return:

• New Witcher Book: Sapkowski recently shared that it took him about two years to complete the new book. While the title and full details are still under wraps, it will debut in Poland in late 2024, with a worldwide release set for early 2025.
• Possible Connections to A Little Sacrifice: The new book might expand on the events of A Little Sacrifice, a story where Geralt and his companion Dandelion get involved in a lover’s dispute between a prince and a mermaid. Fans will remember Essi Daven, a bard who plays a key role in this tale, and it’s speculated that she could return in this new story.

Essi Daven: Back in the Spotlight?

• Fan-Favorite Character: Essi Daven has been a favorite among fans, and if this book brings her back, it could be a big hit. Since it’s likely to be a side story, much like Season of Storms from 2013, there’s a good chance we’ll see more of Essi without the book affecting the main saga.

What to Expect from the New Book:

• Self-Contained Story: Like Season of Storms, this new book is expected to be a standalone story within the Witcher universe. This means it won’t necessarily continue Geralt’s main storyline but will still offer more adventures and insights into the world fans love.
• More Witcher Content: With Netflix continuing to adapt The Witcher and a new book on the way, fans have a lot to look forward to. Whether you’re into the books, games, or show, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the Witcher community.

Conclusion: The news of a new Witcher book from Andrzej Sapkowski is sure to excite fans. While we wait for more details, it’s clear that this new release will add something fresh to The Witcher universe.
