Baptism of Fire

Geralt of Rivia is on a mission to save his ward, Ciri, and with her the
world, in this third novel in the bestselling Witcher series that inspired the
Netflix show and video games.

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.
