"Originally published in hardcover by Gollancz in Great Britain in 2008"--Title page verso.
For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf. Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child has the power to change the world - for good, or for evil. As the threat of war hangs over the land and the child is hunted for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt's responsibility to protect them all - and the Witcher never accepts defeat. The Witcher returns in this sequel to The Last Wish, as the inhabitants of his world become embroiled in a state of total war.

Just started -- can't stop! submitted by parlettes on July 18, 2020, 1:49pm Instead of reading this series, I listen to it while doing chores. The Witcher books are so lush and thought out that I keep finding myself creating chores just so I can listen to it. It's been a great series to listen to after watching the Netflix Series (which is good but not as detailed)
Another great series! submitted by sbtaylor on August 22, 2020, 12:47pm If you're just starting off with the Witcher (perhaps after watching the netflix show like I did) this is the book to begin with. I love fantasy books and definitely recommend this one!
