Step into The Tower of the Swallow (Reissue), an epic entry in the Witcher saga that blends peril, prophecy, and perseverance. This dark fantasy tale follows Geralt the Witcher as he tracks his missing ward, Ciri, through a war-torn world where loyalties shift and danger hides behind every corner. Written for adult fantasy readers who crave sweeping battles, intricate politics, and hard-won choices, The Tower of the Swallow delivers an emotionally charged journey filled with danger, loyalty, and hard-won hope.
The Tower of the Swallow unfolds through a tight, cinematic narrative that follows Geralt's determined pursuit and Ciri's peril-filled life on the run, living under the guise of a petty bandit as mercenaries close in. The prose balances high-stakes action with intimate, character-driven moments, weaving prophecies and loyalties into a seamless tapestry. The reissue is translated by David French, preserving the Witcher’s dark humor, lyrical mood, and relentless pacing.
You will meet a memorable cast in a world of vivid settings—cities, forests, and the dangerous politics of a land at war—where courage and cunning shape the outcome as much as swords and magic.
