  • The Lady of the Lake: The Moment of Destiny

    Here we are. At the end at last. The final Witcher book (not counting Season of Storms, which we’ll get to soon enough). It’s been a wild ride. Let’s hope it sticks the landing. All the pieces are set for the grand finale. Ciri has found her way to the land of the ancient elves,…
