Geralt of Rivia, witcher, continues on his daunting series of adventures. In this novel, Geralt is seriously injured during the coup of the sorcerers guild. Ciri vanishes, and Geralt spends most of this novel attempting to track down his child surprise. Linked by destiny, they share dreams and nightmares. Geralt soon finds out she is not in Nilfgaard because an impersonator is playing the part of captor with Emhyr, the white flame of Nilfgaard. Yennefer is not mentioned for most of the book until Enid, or Francesca, the elf-queen releases her from a spell that compressed her into a small jade statuette. Continuing on the journey, Geralt has become one in a horde of random comrades. Regis, a vampire who is "sober" from human blood acts as their barber-surgeon. They also are back with the dwarves, Zoltan and and the parrot, Field Marshal Windbag. Cahir, former Nilfgaardian and "black knight" who once upon a time briefly captured Ciri in the fall of Cintra, half-druid Milva and of course the bard, Dandelion. The book ends with a battle between Nilfgaard, the witcher and the comrades, and Lyrians. They defeat the Nilfgaardians and the witcher is dubbed a knight by queen Meve of Lyria. Ciri is currently pretending to be "Falka" among a band of thieves and misfits. A paragraph in the book mentions its a shame she was trained as a witcher at Kaer Morhen, because she is an excellent assassin and is beginning to enjoy killing and pillaging.
