Lady of the Lake

The seventh and final book in The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski, originally in Polish (original title: Pani Jeziora).

Tropes found in the book:

 * Because Destiny Says So: this works to bring all necessary actors to the Very Definitely Final Dungeon, mixed with Stable Time Loop in one case.
 * Big Badass Battle Sequence: the battle of Brenna. Which in itself has nothing to do with the plot, but is immensely important In-Universe.
 * Lower Deck Episode: the battle is shown through the eyes of a minor and unimportant character from Blood of Elves, who now receives the spotlight.
 * Breather Episode: the hanse's stay at Beauclaire.
 * Chekhov's Gun: five books of wait, but Ciri's training on the Pendulum now pays off.
 * Everybody's Dead, Dave: Preceded by a Dwindling Party.
 * Exact Eavesdropping: and so Geralt knows now what to do, purely by accident... or destiny.
 * Five-Man Band: Geralt's original troupe from Baptism of Fire is expanded with The Sixth Ranger-slash-The Chick Angouleme,.
 * Gainax Ending: The author clearly decided to Torch the Franchise and Run.
 * Idiot Ball:, who despite all his power apparently can't notice a well-crafted illusion until it's too late.
 * Leave Your Quest Test: Beauclaire for the heroes, but especially for Geralt.
 * Let's Get Dangerous:
 * Life Will Kill You:
 * Lost in Translation: In-Universe example: During their last conversation, Emperor Emhyr bids Ciri farewell in the Elder Speech, addressing her as "luned". Ciri understands this word literally as "young girl".

 * Party Scattering: At the end,.
 * The Promise:
