A Classic The Witcher Tale Returns, Exploring Geralt and Ciri’s Shared Past

Dark Horse Comics continues its adaptations of classic The Witcher tales by Andrzej Sapkowski, revisiting one of the well-known stories from The Last Wish collection. In this retelling of "A Question of Price," we see Geralt of Rivia mingling not with Ciri but with her parents. Set in the kingdom of Cintra, this story, slated for release on July 29, 2025, features the white-haired Witcher attending a royal banquet. What starts as a celebration quickly spirals into chaos when a mysterious armored knight arrives with shocking revelations.

Yes, this is the same A Question of Price that centers on Ciri’s parents, Pavetta and Duny, and explains how Geralt’s fate became tied to the heir of Cintra. Fans of the Netflix series might remember this tale from the fourth episode of the first season, which focused on the same events.

This chapter is pivotal in the grand narrative, taking place before Ciri’s birth but revealing why her destiny is intertwined with that of a Witcher. As a comic, the story becomes more accessible and digestible than the traditional prose, potentially reaching a wider audience and offering a new way to appreciate Sapkowski’s work.

Dark Horse has previously adapted two other stories from The Last Wish: "A Grain of Truth" and "The Lesser Evil." Additionally, "The Edge of the World" is set to release on January 16, 2025, so fans won’t have to wait until summer for Geralt’s return. While these tales are standalone adventures, they lay the foundation for Geralt’s journey, which later books weave into a more cohesive epic.
