Geralt is a witcher: guardian of the innocent; protector of those in need; a defender, in dark times, against some of the most frightening creatures of myth and legend. His task, now, is to protect Ciri. A child of prophecy, she will have the power to change the world for good or for ill - but only if she lives to use it. A coup threatens the Wizard's Guild. War breaks out across the lands. A serious injury leaves Geralt fighting for his life and Ciri, in whose hands the world's fate rests, has vanished / WorldCat.

Review of 'The Time of Contempt' on 'Goodreads'

In the aftermath of the Witcher Season 2, I decided to finish The Time of Contempt once and for all..

The Time of Contempt is the sequel to Blood of Elves. The geopolitical tensions in the continent have reached a peak, and the Nilfgardiaan threat has increased even more.

This book contains a brilliant geopolitical plot, a la A Song of Ice And fire. Combined with the deeper lore about the elves, the conjunctions, and the universe itself, it is a great fantasy novel. Not too thick, like ASOIAF, yet enough plot to talk about for hours.
