Discover the Witcher series like you’ve never heard it before in this brand-new, immersive audio production with music, sound design, and a full cast. The adventures of Geralt the Witcher continue in The Time of Contempt, the second novel in the bestselling Witcher saga.

The kings and armies are maneuvering for position, each fearing invasion from across the river, each fearing their neighbors more. Intrigue, dissent and rebellion fester on all sides.

After decades of oppression, the elves and other races are fighting each other and attacking the humans – and with growing numbers preparing for battle, the threat of all-out war looms ever greater.

Against this backdrop of fear, Geralt and Yennefer must protect Ciri, the orphaned heir who is sought by all sides. For the child of prophecy has the power to change the world – if she lives to use it.

Andrzej Sapkowski’s epic fantasy Witcher series is a global phenomenon that inspired the blockbuster video games and hit Witcher Netflix show.
