The Witcher V Baptism by Fire
The book behind the hit Netflix series The Witcher
The dryads performed miracles and healed Geralt's broken body. But the wounds on his soul throb painfully when he awakens to a world without Ciri. He cannot stand that she has become a mere political pawn. Despite the dryads' reluctance, he hastily sets off on an uncertain rescue mission with a new companion. The solitary witcher would prefer to travel alone, but his journey brings him together with the most unexpected of companions. Will they wade through the war-torn country to Ciri in time, or will the girl be swallowed by the merciless games of fate?
