Time of Contempt

WITH GREAT POWER COMES GRAVE DANGER.

After decades of oppression, the elves and other races are fighting each other and attacking the humans in ever-growing numbers. The kings and armies fear invasion from across the river - but fear their neighbours more. Dissent and intrigue fester in this time of contempt.

As Ciri learns to control her magic, Geralt and Yennefer must protect the orphaned heir who is sought by all sides. For the child of prophecy has the power to change the world - if she lives to use it.

Time of Contempt is the second novel in Andrzej Sapkowski's epic series set in the Witcher world, following Blood of Elves.
