New Witcher Novel “Crossroads of Ravens”
Fans of The Witcher universe have reason to celebrate as acclaimed author Andrzej Sapkowski is returning to the world of monsters and magic with a brand-new novel. Titled Crossroads of Ravens, this upcoming book will take readers back to the early days of Geralt of Rivia, offering a fresh and exciting look at the legendary witcher’s formative years.
This new story is set to explore a period rarely touched upon in previous books or games: Geralt’s first ventures away from the stronghold of Kaer Morhen. Unlike the seasoned veteran players know from the games, this Geralt is green, inexperienced, and still learning the brutal realities of the Path. The novel promises to depict his near-fatal encounter with a monster he was trained to hunt, a humbling experience that shapes his future.
The narrative introduces a key new character—a veteran witcher whose mentorship forever changes Geralt’s life and approach to his dangerous profession. This dynamic offers a compelling glimpse into the traditions and harsh lessons that forged Geralt into the iconic figure he becomes.
For fans who have long wondered about Geralt’s origins and early struggles, Crossroads of Ravens provides the deep backstory many have craved. It’s a chance to see the White Wolf not as an infallible hero, but as a young man making his first mistakes and learning what it truly means to be a witcher.
The announcement has also ignited discussions within the gaming community. While CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the next game, often called The Witcher 4, will feature Ciri as the lead protagonist, this novel opens the door for a potential prequel game. A title focusing on a young Geralt’s adventures could be a fantastic way to continue his story in interactive form, separate from the new saga.

Rumors still persist that Geralt will appear in the upcoming game in a mentorship role to Ciri, but this novel ensures he remains the undoubted star of his own new, canonical adventure.
Crossroads of Ravens is scheduled for release on September 30, giving Witcher fans a new novel to dive into this autumn and a thrilling new chapter in the life of Geralt of Rivia.
