Synopsis "The Time of Contempt (The Witcher, 4) "

To protect his ward Ciri, Geralt of Rivia sends her to train with the sorceress Yennefer. But all is not well within the Wizard's Guild in the second novel of the Witcher, Andrzej Sapkowski's groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games. 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.

Andrzej Sapkowski (1948) is a Polish fantasy writer, globally recognized for his Geralt of Rivia saga. His works are deeply influenced by Slavic culture and mythology, as well as traditional narratives. The Geralt saga, consisting of seven volumes, includes iconic titles such as The Sword of Destiny and The Blood of Elves. This series has transcended the literary realm, being adapted into film (Wiedźmin, 2001), video games (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, GOTY winner in 2015) and the Netflix series The Witcher, which has catapulted his popularity worldwide.

Sapkowski has been awarded five Zajdel Awards, one of the most prestigious in science fiction and fantasy literature in Poland, for works like The Lesser Evil (1990), The Sword of Destiny (1992) and Narrenturm (2002). The latter marks the beginning of a trilogy set during the Hussite Wars of the 15th century, showcasing his versatility as an author. With rich narratives and complex characters, Sapkowski has established himself as one of the great masters of modern fantasy.
