When the Slaughter of Cintra happened, everyone in the capital, including the Princess, was thought to have been lost. Ten years later, Princess Cirilla is announced as Nilfgaard's heir and soon to be Empress. The survivors of Cintra have feelings about this.

At the Slaughter of Cintra, Ciri lost everything she'd ever had. Because she'd had no choice, she picked herself up from the ashes and started to build herself a new family with her Destiny. But when the world steals her new family away too? What is she supposed to do?

The answer, unexpectedly, is 'wake up in Cintra half a year before the Slaughter ever took place'. Problem is, she has no idea how this happened or if it's even real.

Geralt asks Yennefer what she considers fate to be. He doesn't understand how tying their fates together to save her life took away her choice, but it's very clear that she believes it did and he's not sure how to fix that.

At Princess Cirilla's request, Mousesack goes looking for Geralt, to personally bring him back to Cintra.

“Nilfgaard wants to quell all unrest in their lands, so they’re not going to prosecute any war criminals. Which means they’re fair game.”

Roche blinked at him. “Iorveth,” he said slowly, “you do realize that technically we are both war criminals?”

Iorveth just shrugged. “‘Least we haven’t gotten rich off of other people’s suffering.”

That was true. At least he and Iorveth had fought for a cause, even if what they did was monstrous. People driven by pure greed disgusted Roche, and he knew there was no shortage of greedy predators preying on those devastated by the war.

“Are you… inviting me to go murder assholes with you?” Roche asked in disbelief.

Iorveth tilted his head, shrugging again. “Essentially.”

Roche rules Temeria now and he fucking hates it. Fortunately, an old enemy offers him a means of stress relief.

“Yeah, of course I’ll help,” Geralt said, and some of the tension in Ciri’s shoulders relaxed. “It’s that bad, huh? What state is Emhyr in?”

“It – I think it’ll be best to see it yourself.” There was something hesitant in Ciri’s voice and he looked at her properly.

“You okay?”

She shrugged somewhat helplessly. “Emhyr can’t rule in his current state. So… I’m taking over for the moment behind the scenes, but if the curse is going to take a while to break…”

“Ah,” Geralt nodded. “Okay, let’s go.”

Ciri flung herself at him, wrapping her arms around him. “Thank you. Seriously.”

“Always,” he promised, hugging her back.
