Andrzej Sapkowski

A deadly coup within the Wizards’ Guild leaves Geralt of Rivia gravely injured and his ward Ciri missing. While war rages across the land and the future of magic hangs in the balance, Geralt assembles an unlikely fellowship — a bard, an archer, a vampire, and a Nilfgaardian knight — and sets out on a desperate mission to find Ciri, rumored to be in the Nilfgaard court preparing to marry the Emperor. Injured or not, the Witcher never gives up.
