Discover the Witcher series like you’ve never heard it before in this brand-new, immersive audio production with music, sound design, and a full cast. Geralt of Rivia is on a mission to save his ward, Ciri, and with her the world, in Baptism of Fire, the third novel in the bestselling Witcher saga.

The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup and, in the uproar, Geralt was seriously injured. The Witcher is supposed to be a guardian of the innocent, a protector of those in need, a defender against powerful and dangerous monsters that prey on men in dark times.

But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered from his injuries.

While war rages across all of the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. It’s an impossible situation in which to find one girl – Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra, has vanished – until a rumour places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry the Emperor.

Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.

Andrzej Sapkowski’s epic fantasy Witcher series is a global phenomenon that inspired the blockbuster video games and hit Witcher Netflix show.
