A silver sword is not enough to cut away fate. Before the continent learns his name, he is only a stranger in the mist—a witcher forged by poison and fire, paid to kill what no normal man can face. But when destiny drags him toward a child born of prophecy, the hunt changes. Monarchs scheme, mages whisper, and the old stories shed their innocent skins. In blood-soaked kingdoms and moonlit woods, where every bargain hides a blade, the loner who trusts no one must choose between the world as it is and the world as it might be. Some legends are born from a wish. Others are forged in the wreckage left behind.
