'Like Miéville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new' Foundation For more than a hundred years humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived together in relatíve peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over and now the races once again fight each other - and themselves. Into this tumultuous time is born a child for whom the witchers of the world have been waiting. Ciri is the granddaughter of Queen Calanthe, the Lioness of Cintra. She 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 Riva, has taken Ciri to the relative safety of the Witchers' Settlement, but Ciri isn't like the others there. She doesn't need to undergo the mutations that give ordinary witchers their supernatural abilities but all too often strip away emotion and humán sensitivities. Ciri is something quite unique. As the political situation grows ever dimmer and the threat of war hangs almost palpably over the land, Ciri is learning to harness her powers to the service of those beset by evil. But she needs more help than the witchers can give her, and as she and Geralt leave the Settlement they find themselves pursued by someone who understands exactly what the prophecy means - and exactly what Ciri's power can do. This time Geralt may have met his match. 'The epic world of Sapkowski is a dreamland for those who are young, their age notwithstanding' Polityka Vissza
