[edit] Brief synopsis
Geralt recovers in Brokilon forest after the Thanedd incident, but soon he must leave and continue on his path. While in Brokilon, he meets a girl who will follow him on his journey to Nilfgaard. But Ciri is not with him. She has found some people elsewhere whom she finally can call her friends. The witcher, accompanied by Dandelion and the girl he meets in Brokilon, undertake a dangerous journey, meeting new people along the way and discovering the truth about the mysterious Black Rider who has been plaguing Ciri's dreams. One of the new friends they make along the way turns out to be rather interesting...
In Brokilon, Geralt meets Milva, a hunter and archer. She is a real artist with a bow. She decides to follow Geralt, who is accompanied by Dandelion, on his way. The journey is not easy, the war is approaching and nearly every city is ablaze. Along their route they meet a group of dwarves led by one Zoltan Chivay. As it seems they are all going in the same direction, Geralt's party joins the group. Destiny then brings them another companion - Cahir, the erstwhile "Black Rider" that plagued Ciri's dreams. Finally, the troupe is joined by Regis, a vampire - monster who rather surprisingly becomes the monster hunter's good friend. Meanwhile Ciri has found her way out of the Korath desert, where the teleporter in Tor Zirael sent her. Ultimately she finds a party of young rebels who call themselves the "Rats". Ciri decides to change her identity and begins calling herself Falka. She becomes a member of the Rats with whom she experiences killing for the first time. Killing will ultimately become an obsession for the former princess.
