Baptism of Fire (Witcher)

[Translated by David French]

The wizard's guild has been shattered by a coup and, in the uproar, Geralt was seriously injured. The witcher is a guardian of the innocent, a protector of those in need, a defender against the 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 all of the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra, has vanished -- 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.
