He is the descendant of Baal, a murderer with blood on his hands; he is the host of the Mind Flayer, a visitor from another world who controls mind reading and manipulation. When evil thoughts fell from the ruins of Baldur's Gate into the battlefield corpse pile of Velen, what awaited him was not salvation, but an equally cruel world - war, monsters, three witches and the wild hunt. In this world without the God of Murder, will the killing impulse engraved in his bones drag him into the abyss, or will it become the only bargaining chip for his survival? The world of witchers never welcomes aliens. But evil thoughts are never the ones that disappear obediently.
