While war rages across the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it.

"I liked this one the best so far in the Witcher series. I liked that was a lot more of the Witcher and his story and not so much yennefer or ciri. "
Theresa Evans
"liked it except for the part where ciri is in a relationship with her rapist (thought i’m not blaming her). also what’s with the characters in the books repeating the name of the title multiple times…."

"The way this author writes is ... different. There is a LOT going on in this saga and it is sometimes difficult to keep track of characters, their allegiances, and the timeline. I still love it, though. It is chock full of interesting characters (good and bad) and unexpected occurrences, and I have a hard time pausing the story to do other things. I'm listening to it all on audio-book and the narrator does such a great job it makes it even more difficult to stop the story. I know I'm going to be so depressed when it is all over."
