"Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, one of the few capable of hunting the monsters that prey on humanity. A mutant who is tasked with killing unnatural beings. He uses magical signs, potions, and the pride of every Witcher--two swords, steel and silver. But a contract has gone wrong, and Geralt finds himself without his signature weapons. Now he needs them back, because sorcerers are scheming, and across the world clouds are gathering"--Amazon.com
Spisovatel Andrzej Sapkowski o knize řekl: „V knize Rozcestí krkavců‘ se vracím ke kořenům Geraltovy cesty. Není neohroženým zabijákem nestvůr, jak ho známe, ale mladým zaklínačem, který teprve začíná chápat tíhu svého osudu. Představte si Geralta, ale mladého, s méně jizvami a povýšenějšího. Je to příběh o osobním růstu, setkání idealismu s tvrdou realitou a volbách, které utvořily legendu. Je o hledání svého místa ve světě, který vás neustále vyzývá, abyste se stali něčím víc, než si myslíte, že můžete být. Nemohu se dočkat, až budou mít čtenáři příběh v rukou a budou kráčet po boku Geralta. Zažijí tak zkoušky, které ho formovaly, a cestu, která ho nasměrovala k jeho osudu.“
