The Witcher: Sword of Destiny
Chronologically the second book in The Witcher series - Sword of Destiny is a collection of short stories, that further developed the world and characters. It includes key events that lead directly into the main saga, particularly those involving Ciri.
Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin.
Yet he is no ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.
But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.
