Sword of Destiny (The Witcher, #0.7)

by Andrzej Sapkowski

A choice. A choice which should be respected, for it is the holy and irrefutable right of every woman.

I was always afraid of you; always. I never looked behind me out of fear. Out of terror that I’d see you following me. I was always afraid, my life has passed in fear.

Wars aren’t waged to destroy. Wars are waged for two reasons. One is power and the other is money.’
