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. It's an impossible situation
in which to find one girl - Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra, has
vanished - until a rumour places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry
the Emperor. Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.
