Sword of Destiny

Six stories keep crossing Geralt's path with Yennefer's. He joins a hunt for a green dragon and watches the knight Borch reveal himself as the golden dragon Villentretenmerth. In Aedd Gynvael he and the sorcerer Istredd vie for Yennefer. In Novigrad he helps Dandelion (Jaskier) and a merchant tangled up with a doppler. In Bremervoord he tries to help Duke Agloval marry the mermaid Sh'eenaz, with the poet Essi Daven nearby. In Brokilon he meets a girl named Ciri and walks away when she says she's his destiny. In the final story, Something More, a wounded Geralt revisits memories of his mother and of Yennefer. After Cintra falls, Ciri, alive, runs to him.
