The fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling Witcher series that inspired the hit Netflix show finds Ciri trapped in a distant world and separated from Geralt and her destiny. After walking through a portal in the Tower of the Swallow, thus narrowly escaping death, the Witcher girl, Ciri, finds herself in a completely different world... a world of the Elves. She is trapped with no way out. Time does not seem to exist and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world. But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt, and his companions - and also to try to conquer her worst nightmare. Leo Bonhart, the man who chased, wounded and tortured Ciri, is still on her trail. And the world is still at war. Translated by David French.

A BRAND NEW TRILOGY from the author of the legendary WITCHER series, set during the vibrantly depicted Hussite wars. Reinmar of Bielau, called Reynevan, flees after being caught in an affair with a knight's wife. With strange, mystical forces gathering in the shadows and pursued not only by the Stercza brothers bent on vengeance, but also by the Holy Inquisition, Reynevan finds himself in the Narrenturm, the Tower of Fools, a medieval asylum for the mad, or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order. The 'patients' of this institution form an incomparable gallery of colourful types: including, among others, the young Copernicus, proclaiming the truth of the heliocentric solar system.This is the first in an epic new trilogy by Andrzej Sapkowski, author of the bestselling Witcher series that has become an international phenomenon and inspired a bestselling videogame and Netflix show.

Drama Characters: 4 male, 3 female Interior Set An exceptional drama by an award winning Canadian playwright. The Mercer family's cohesiveness is being torn asunder.

A complex man, sometimes compassionate, and often contradictory, who inspires rebellion in his sons, Billy, and Ben.

Two decades into the 21st Century, the U.S. faces unprecedented division, more diverse in beliefs and culture than ever. Red and blue states, secular and religious groups, and liberal and conservative factions all feel their cultures and liberties are under threat from escalating violence. This polarized tribalism, driven by extreme voices on both sides, dismisses dialogue as weakness and risks leading to secession. Through a blend of cutting-edge research and fair analysis, the book presents a stark examination of the growing ideological divide and its potential consequences. It outlines chilling scenarios where the U.S. could fracture into regions, weakening the nation and destabilizing the world. However, the future is not predetermined. By embracing James Madison's vision of pluralism, where everyone can form communities reflecting their values, we can prevent oppressive factions from gaining absolute power and protect diverse beliefs across all states. Rebuilding national unity demands courage and a commitment to kindness, decency, and grace towards ideological opponents. The call is for true tolerance to heal the American divide, emphasizing that to remain united, we must learn to stand together once more.
