About this ebook

The fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling Witcher series that inspired the hit Netflix show finds Ciri trapped in a distant world and separated from Geralt and her destiny.

After walking through a portal in the Tower of the Swallow, thus narrowly escaping death, the Witcher girl, Ciri, finds herself in a completely different world... a world of the Elves. She is trapped with no way out. Time does not seem to exist and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world.

But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt, and his companions - and also to try to conquer her worst nightmare. Leo Bonhart, the man who chased, wounded and tortured Ciri, is still on her trail.

And the world is still at war.

Translated by David French.

unfortunately this novel veers too far off the storyline, too much unnecessary pages. I've enjoyed the books do far but this seems like a bit of a desperate attempt to drag out the series. sad

Story was far too diluted. It seemed to lack the focus of the preceding novels and ended up with a lot of new characters and events that mattered little to Geralt's adventure... Or myself, for that matter. Great series of books though.

Bit dull start but plenty of entertainment following shortly and with a heroic end ....I cried at the end....and I am not often impressed by current's society novella.... It's a good story and a sad ending but fit for heroes. Please continue the story don't end it!!!!
