But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered. <p/>While war rages across the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. It'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. <p/>Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands. <p/><b>Witcher collections</b> <br><i>The Last Wish <br>Sword of Destiny</i> <p/><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> <p/><b>Hussite Trilogy</b> <br><i>The Tower of Fools <br>Warriors of God</i> <p/>Translated from original Polish by David French<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Delightful, intense, irreverent, and compelling....you have to read The Witcher books because they are rife with all of the elements that make you love fiction, and especially fantasy, in the first place....In a word, The Witcher delivers."--<i><b>Hypable</b></i><br><br>"One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read."--<i><b>Nerds of a Feather</b></i><br><br>"Sapkowski has a confident and rich voice which permeates the prose and remains post-translation.
