Geralt and Ciri are working together as witchers, tracking a striga through the countryside. An early fight leaves Ciri hurt, Yennefer gets involved, and the three of them are pulled into an old story of revenge where crows keep turning up and nobody is quite what they seem.
What this adds if you've played the games
It picks up Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer after Wild Hunt as something like a family, and that's the main reason to read it, since the game ends before you see much of that. Two of CD Projekt Red's writers helped plot it, so the characters sound like themselves, even if the dialogue sometimes explains too much. Finish Wild Hunt first. It's short and easy to skip if comics aren't your thing.
