Zaklínač V. – Křest ohněm

Křest ohněm continues Geralt's saga as war changes borders, alliances, and the possibilities of safe travel. Geralt sets out to find Ciri and must cross territory where Nilfgaard's armies, the defenders of the North, and Scoia'tael guerrillas clash. Alongside his journey, Emperor Emhyr's political plans develop and a new group of sorceresses takes shape. This fifth Witcher volume builds on earlier events and is best read in sequence.

Despite his injuries, Geralt refuses to remain on the sidelines and assembles an unlikely group of companions. Their journey south passes through a country devastated by war, making the search for Ciri both a personal mission and an encounter with refugees, soldiers, and violence among civilians. Parallel storylines show Nilfgaard, northern intelligence networks, and sorceresses seeking influence over the Continent's future. Sapkowski combines an adventurous quest with political fantasy and ironic dialogue. New characters enter Geralt's circle and challenge his understanding of independence.
