Notes
- Foundational collection, reading order #1 (registered Core under the collection-as-Core exception). superNOWA issued it to supersede the 1990 Reporter collection. New David French re-translation announced for 2026.
- From the series record (The Witcher): Reading order: collections first (official superNOWA numbering), then the 5-novel saga, then standalones. Polish and English publication orders both differ from reading order.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
- Publication order, within the series The Witcher: position 2 of 9: previous Sword of Destiny (1992) · next Blood of Elves (1994)
