Cintra has been invaded and Ciri is on the run when she meets Dara. Voices call Ciri into Brokilan — a mystical forest inhabited by Dryads. Later, a doppler disguised as Mousesack comes to rescue her. She figures out his deception and gets away when she comes across Anton. She unleashes a world of hurt on Anton and his crew and is then taken in by a woman who has tried to help her before.
