The adventures of Geralt the Witcher continue in this second novel in the bestselling Witcher
series that inspired the Netflix show and video games. The kings and armies are manoeuvring for
position each fearing invasion from across the river each fearing their neighbours more.
Intrigue dissent and rebellion fester on all sides. After decades of oppression the elves and
other races are fighting each other and attacking the humans - and with growing numbers
preparing for battle the threat of all-out war looms ever greater. Against this backdrop of
fear Geralt and Yennefer must protect Ciri the orphaned heir who is sought by all sides. For
the child of prophecy has the power to change the world - if she lives to use it. Translated by
David French.
