About the book: 2011 / A new facet of Andrzej Sapkowski’s talent! Fantasy is mixed with reality, and it’s difficult to understand what in this story is fiction and what is true...When- then the warriors of the divine Alexander, the Conqueror of the World, walked and died across these lands. Once upon a time on this land the army of the British Empire broke its teeth, over which the sun never set. What protects this God-forsaken country? Is there really some truth in the ancient, obscure, mysterious legend about its magical guardian - the Golden Snake, which can only be seen by a select few??..
