What this book is about
The second Witcher novel plunges Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri into political catastrophe as rival mages wage brutal war and the northern kingdoms tear themselves apart. Sapkowski's darkly political fantasy delivers graphic battlefield violence, morally compromised characters, and a devastating climax that scatters the trio across the Continent. The world's grim realities come fully into focus.
