The Red Wedding has happened and the Old Gods are getting worried about what has happened. They have no choice. Robb must return.

Before strapping swords to their backs and slaying monsters for pay, witchers were once children. Children with dreams, ambitions, and love. In the School of Bear, three boys are the only ones in their group to survive the Trial of Grasses. What ensues is a binding, steadfast friendship. They become brothers, living in the days when they think the world can do them no wrong.

Seen as the Chosen One by her people, but as a simple primitive by the unforgiving world outside, a young woman learns to survive the dangers of the Wastes, as well as deal with the consequences her actions have on the world and all those living in it.
