Publisher's Summary

Geralt the Witcher battles monsters, demons and prejudices alike in Sword of Destiny, the second collection of adventures in Andrzej Sapkowski’s groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the Netflix show and the hit video games.

Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless hunter. Yet he is no ordinary killer: His targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.

Heartwarming

Sword of Destiny is a must read for anyone that is planning on playing Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as it serves as a great introduction for the main characters. Also, a brilliant performance once again by the talented Peter Kenny.

Great

I am awe stricken by how good this story is turning out to be. I was touched on multiple occasions by its story. Can’t wait to read the next book and am more then happy with what I have listened to. Don’t do yourself a disservice and read these books. Well made great stories of these kinds are hard to come by.
