War madness grips four kingdoms. The captivating Philippa Elhart establishes a secret lodge for witches. Dreams haunt the Witcher.

Andrzej Sapkowski, the great master of world fantasy, invites you once again into his boundless realm of imagination, penning this installment of the critically acclaimed and beloved Witcher saga. Geralt embarks on a quest to find the unexpected child destined for him, having been healed by the nymphs of the woods from the horrific wounds he sustained during the failed coup on Thaned Island. He is accompanied by his inseparable companion, the troubadour and eccentric philosopher, Jasker.

Joining the Witcher party are: the enthusiastic archer Melva, the Nilfgardy knight—the nightmare in Ciri’s dreams, sought after by the Empire’s finest spies—the cunning, scavenging gnome, five brutish dwarves, and the barber-surgeon, who wears old-fashioned clothes, smells of strong herbs, and is a strange, otherworldly figure.
