Description
A deadly coup within the Wizard's Guild leaves the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, gravely injured, and his ward Ciri missing in the third novel of Andrzej Sapkowski's groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games. The New York Times bestselling series Over Fifteen Million Copies Sold Worldwide World Fantasy Award Winning Author David Gemmell Legend Award Winning Author Named One of the Greatest Book Series of All Time by Forbes The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup, an uprising that has left Geralt seriously injured. The Witcher is supposed to be a guardian of the innocent, a protector of those in need, a defender against powerful and dangerous monsters that prey on men in dark times. But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered. 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. Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.Witcher collectionsThe Last Wish Sword of DestinyWitcher novelsBlood of Elves The Time of Contempt Baptism of Fire The Tower of Swallows Lady of the Lake Season of StormsHussite TrilogyThe Tower of Fools Warriors of God Translated from original Polish by David French
