In this space, I will adhere to Baptism of Fire. This is literature for adults. As each book in the series is over 400 pages, an exhaustive content guide detailing what Christians might find offensive would be a novel to itself. Readers sensitive to mature content should approach the literary Witcher series with caution equitable to the video games. Baptism of Fire picks up with Geralt’s disquiet spurred by his dreams of Ciri’s exploits. She survives by joining the ranks of rogues known as the Rats, taking on the alias “Falka” to protect her identity since being the last living heir to the Cintran throne has caused her so much turmoil. Ciri, escaping pursuit from someone who is revealed to be the series’ main antagonist - a wizard by the name of Vilgefortz of Roggeveen - escapes through an ancient and unstable portal that dumps her in a desert located in parts unknown. Yennefer has gone missing, a fugitive whose role in the famous Thanedd coup remains a mystery. The Time of Contempt concludes with Geralt literally broken, and licking his wounds while hiding among the dryads of Brokilon Forrest. Because this review assumes reader familiarity with previous entries, there may be spoilers for the preceding texts. Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.Genre: Fantasy The following is the fifth in a series of eight reviews of the Witcher books. It's an impossible situation in which to find one girl-Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra-until a rumor places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry the Emperor.

While war rages across the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered.

The Witcher is supposed to be a guardian of the innocent, a protector of those in need, a defender against powerful and dangerous monsters that prey on men in dark times. The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup, an uprising that has left Geralt seriously injured. A deadly coup within the Wizard's Guild leaves the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, gravely injured, and his ward Ciri missing in the third novel of Andrzej Sapkowski's groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games.
