Baptism of Fire

Baptism of Fire follows Geralt of Rivia on a mission to save his ward, Ciri, and with her the world. This is the 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

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.
• The surviving sorcerers are determined to protect it.

Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra, has vanished - until a rumor places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry the Emperor. Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.
