The adventures of Geralt the Witcher continue in this second novel in the bestselling Witcher series that inspired the Netflix show and video games.

The kings and armies are manoeuvring for position, each fearing invasion from across the river, each fearing their neighbours more. Intrigue, dissent and rebellion fester on all sides.

After decades of oppression, the elves and other races are fighting each other and attacking the humans - and with growing numbers preparing for battle, the threat of all-out war looms ever greater.

Against this backdrop of fear, Geralt and Yennefer must protect Ciri, the orphaned heir who is sought by all sides. For the child of prophecy has the power to change the world - if she lives to use it.

Commentaires

An incredibly nuanced, well-articulated novel, imbued with a self-assured command of description and brimming with Eastern European folklore
Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humour. Recommended
Geralt is one of the great characters in all of fantasy. Whether you're coming from the games, TV show, or are simply new to the Witcher universe - these books are absolutely worth the read - James Islington, author of The Will of the Many
This is a series you can sink your teeth into
Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new . . . [a] fresh take on genre fantasy
Delightful, intense, irreverent, and compelling . . . you have to read The Witcher books because they are rife with all of the elements that make you love fiction, and especially fantasy, in the first place . . . In a word, The Witcher delivers
One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read

Le plus pertinent
Time of Contempt picks up nicely from where Blood of Elves had left us. In addition to that, the book ends in such a way that one cannot help but immediately pick up Baptism of Fire and go on with the story.
...
Narration-wise, Peter Kenny does an outstanding job in giving voice to the characters of the novel.

Intriguing!!!
