Baptism of Fire

This book is the third novel in The Witcher Saga and continues the overarching narrative directly from the previous installment, Time of Contempt. Readers will benefit from having read the preceding books to fully understand the character motivations and ongoing plot.

Elements of this book's storyline and characters are adapted in the Netflix series The Witcher. The show draws from various books in the saga, so specific plot points from Chrzest ognia appear alongside material from other volumes.

The English translation of Baptism of Fire (Chrzest ognia) was made by David French, who translated most of the Witcher Saga starting with Time of Contempt. It was first published in English by Gollancz (UK) and Orbit (US) in 2014.
