Synopsis:
Geralt, the witcher of Rivia, is back - and this time he holds the fate of the
whole land in his hands ...For more than a hundred years, humans, dwarves,
gnomes and elves lived together in relative peace. But times have changed,
the uneasy peace is over and now the races once again fight each other - and
themselves: dwarves are killing their kinsmen, and elves are murdering
humans and elves, at least those elves who are friendly to humans ...Into this
tumultuous time is born a child for whom the witchers of the world have been
waiting. Ciri, the granddaughter of Queen Calanthe, the Lioness of Cintra, has
strange powers and a stranger destiny, for prophecy names her the Flame,
one with the power to change the world - for good, or for evil ...Geralt, the
witcher of Rivia, has taken Ciri to the relative safety of the Witchers'
Settlement, but it soon becomes clear that Ciri isn't like the other witchers. As
the political situation grows ever dimmer and the threat of war hangs almost
palpably over the land, Geralt searches for someone to train Ciri's unique
powers.But someone else has an eye on the young girl, someone who
understand exactly what the prophecy means - and exactly what Ciri's power
can do. This time Geralt may have met his match.

Back cover copy

For more than a hundred years humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived
together in relative peace. But times have changes, and now the races once
again fight each other - and themselves. In this tumultuous time a child is
born - Ciri has strange powers and a stranger destiny, for a prophecy names
her as one with the power to change the world, for good or for evil. The
witcher Geralt has taken Ciri to the relative safety of the Witchers' Settlement,
but it soon becomes clear that Ciri is not like the other witchers. As the threat
of war hangs almost palpably over the land, Geralt and Ciri are pursued by
someone who understands exactly what the prophecy means - and exactly
what Ciri's power is capable of. This time Geralt may have met his match.
