What does it feel like to know that the future of your country and, perhaps, the whole world will depend on you? Do you know that the devil himself is following in your footsteps? It's not for nothing that Tom Ward is called the Witcher's student - he managed to learn a lot from old John Gregory. But Tom is still only fourteen and he is simply not ready for some dangers. That is why Master Gregory decides to send him north, to the land of rivers, swamps and lakes. Bill Arkwright, himself once a student of the Witcher, agrees to take the young man in for six months and train him. Only Tom doesn’t want to go at all... And he doesn’t want to part with Alice. This girl had long ago turned from an enemy into his closest friend. But the seventh son of the seventh son is not always free to choose his future. And that means that Tom will fulfill the will of the teacher and set off on a journey - to where the devil is preparing a suitable meeting for him...
