After walking through the portal in the Tower of Swallows while narrowly escaping death, Ciri finds herself in a completely different world... an Elven world. She is trapped with no way out. Time does not seem to exist and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world.
But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt, and his companions - and also to try to conquer her worst nightmare. Leo Bonhart, the man who chased, wounded and tortured Ciri, is still on her trail. And the world is still at war.

I loved outdoor life and hunting. Some way a grizzly bear would come in when I tried to explain forestry to my brother. "Hunting grizzlies!" he cried. "Why, Ken, father says you\'ve been reading dime novels." "Just wait, Hal, till he comes out here. I\'ll show him that forestry isn\'t just bear-hunting." My brother Hal and I were camping a few days on the Susquehanna River, and we had divided the time between fishing and tramping. Our camp was on the edge of a forest some eight miles from Harrisburg. The property belonged to our father, and he had promised to drive out to see us. But he did not come that day, and I had to content myself with winning Hal over to my side. "Ken, if the governor lets you go to Arizona can\'t you ring me in?" "Not this summer. I\'d be afraid to ask him. But in another year I\'ll do it." "Won\'t it be great? But what a long time to wait! It makes me sick to think of you out there riding mustangs and hunting bears and lions." "You\'ll have to stand it. You\'re pretty much of a kid, Hal—not yet fourteen. Besides, I\'ve graduated."
