Baptism of Fire by Andrzej Sapkowski is the fifth installment in The Witcher saga and finds Geralt of Rivia at a crossroads—wounded, uncertain, but determined to rescue Ciri. Joined by a ragtag band of allies, including the sharp-tongued bard Dandelion and a mysterious vampire, Geralt’s journey through war-torn lands is as much about survival as it is about destiny. Blending dark humor, sharp dialogue, and moral complexity, Baptism of Fire deepens the saga’s emotional weight while pushing its characters toward a future that feels anything but certain.
