But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered.<br /><br />While war rages across the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. It&apos;s an impossible situation in which to find one girl—Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra—until a rumor places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry the Emperor.<br /><br />Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.<br /><br /><b>Witcher collections</b><br /><i>The Last Wish<br />Sword of Destiny</i><br /><br /><b>Witcher novels</b><br /><i>Blood of Elves<br />The Time of Contempt<br />Baptism of Fire <br />The Tower of Swallows<br />Lady of the Lake<br />Season of Storms</i><br /><br /><b>Hussite Trilogy</b><br /><i>The Tower of Fools<br />Warriors of God</i><br /><br />Translated from original Polish by David French
