The dryads worked miracles and healed Geralt's broken body. But the wounds on his soul throb painfully as he awakens to a world without Ciri. She can't stand being a political figurehead. Despite the dryads' resentment, he and his new companion hastily embark on a precarious rescue expedition. The reclusive spellcaster would prefer to wander alone, but the journey brings him together with the most unexpected cronies. Will they wade through the war-ravaged countryside to Ciri in time or will the girl be swallowed up by the ruthless games of fate?
