After walking through the portal in the Tower of Swallows while narrowly escaping death, Ciri finds herself in a completely different world...an Elven world. She is trapped, with no way out. Time does not seem to exist, and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world. But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt, and his companions - and to try to conquer her worst nightmare.

The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup and, in the uproar, Geralt was 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 from his injuries. While war rages across all of the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it.

Geralt the Witcher has fought monsters and demons across the land, but even he may not be prepared for what is happening to his world. The kings and armies are manoeuvring for position, each fearing invasion from across the river, each fearing their neighbours more. Intrigue, dissent and rebellion are on all sides. The Elves and other non-humans are still suffering under decades of repression, and growing numbers join the commando units hidden deep in the forest, striking at will and then dissolving into the trees.

Reinmar of Bielau, called Reynevan, flees after being caught in an affair with a knight's wife.With strange, mystical forces gathering in the shadows and pursued not only by the Stercza brothers bent on vengeance, but also by the Holy Inquisition, Reynevan finds himself in the Narrenturm, the Tower of Fools, a medieval asylum for the mad, or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order.

Every legend has an origin - and Geralt of Rivia's begins here. In this brand-new chapter of Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series, follow Geralt in his earliest days as a Witcher, as he faces monsters and humans alike...

Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

For more than a hundred years humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over and now the races once again fight each other - and themselves: dwarves are killing their kinsmen, and elves are murdering humans and elves, at least those elves who are friendly to humans...Into this tumultuous time is born a child for whom the witchers of the world have been waiting.

Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin.

Geralt. The witcher whose mission is to protect ordinary people from the monsters created with magic. A mutant who has the task of killing unnatural beings. He uses a magical sign, potions and the pride of every witcher - two swords, steel and silver. But what would happen if Geralt lost his weapons?

Reynevan is besieged on all sides and faces torture and execution if he makes any mistake in his quest to find his beloved, Jutta of Apolda. Aided by his companions—the ever-pragmatic Scharley and the mysterious being known as Samson Honeypot—his journey takes him all over the Bohemian realm. And Reynevan will need every ounce of his wit, intelligence and cunning if he is to succeed in his search. The political and religious alliances of the Hussite Wars are ever shifting, and the battle for dominance threatens to devour anyone who gets in their way.

The world has fallen into war. Ciri, the child of prophecy, has vanished. Hunted by friends and foes alike, she has taken on the guise of a petty bandit and lives free for the first time in her life. But the net around her is closing. Geralt, the Witcher, has assembled a group of allies determined to rescue her. Both sides of the war have sent brutal mercenaries to hunt her down. Her crimes have made her famous. There is only one place left to run. The tower of the swallow is waiting.

Reynevan begins by hiding away in Bohemia but soon leaves for Silesia, where he carries out dangerous secret missions entrusted to him by the leaders of the Hussite religion. At the same time, he strives to avenge the death of his brother and discover the whereabouts of his beloved. Once again pursued by multiple enemies, Reynevan is constantly getting into and out of trouble.

Geralt de Riv est un homme inquiétant, un mutant devenu le parfait assassin grâce à la magie et à un long entraînement. En ces temps obscurs, ogres, goules et vampires pullulent, et les magiciens sont des manipulateurs experts. Contre ces menaces, il faut un tueur à gages à la hauteur, et Geralt est plus qu'un guerrier ou un mage. C'est un sorceleur.

"Was soll man von dir halten - ein Hexer, der jeden zweiten Tag ein einträgliches Angebot ausschlägt? Die Hirikka tötest du nicht, weil die am Aussterben sind, den Streitling nicht, weil er unschädlich ist, die Nächtin nicht, weil sie nett ist, den Drachen nicht, weil's der Kodex verbietet..." Der Hexer Geralt von Riva verdient seinen Lebensunterhalt recht und schlecht mit dem Beseitigen von allerlei Ungeheuern. Nicht selten begegnen ihm die Leute, die ihn anheuern, mit tiefem Argwohn.

Seit dem blutigen Überfall auf Cintra ist Ciri, die Thronerbin des Reiches, verschollen. Doch es gehen Gerüchte um, dass sie nicht tot ist, sondern von Geralt, dem Hexer, entführt und an einen geheimen Ort gebracht wurde. Und Geralt sieht sich mit heiklen Fragen konfrontiert. Hat Ciri wirklich magisches Potential? Oder ist sie nur das Medium einer bösen Macht? Der halbverfallene Stammsitz der Hexer wird zum Schauplatz einer großen Prüfung.

Geralt di Rivia ha fallito. Durante la rivolta scoppiata sull'isola di Thanedd, non è riuscito a portare in salvo Ciri, l'ultima erede al trono di Cintra, e ora la principessa è scomparsa. La sua unica speranza di ritrovarla è affidarsi a Milva, la più abile spia delle driadi. E Milva non lo delude: scopre che Ciri è prigioniera dell'imperatore Emhyr var Emreis e si offre di guidare lo strigo fino alla capitale di Nilfgaard.
