Netflix's The Witcher Is Based on a Fantasy Book Series With a Few Key Differences

Another major difference between the series and the novel is the introduction of Princess Ciri (played by Freya Allan). Her character doesn't make an appearance until the second book, Sword of Destiny. The only mention of her in the The Last Wish, is when Geralt asks Pavetta and Duny to make their unborn child a witcher. However, the Netflix series introduces Ciri early on, featuring a backstory and experiences not found in the first book.
