Ahh, right. Baptism of Fire, beginning of Chapter 7. My bad. (Could have ploughin' pointed that out before I went into that tirade.) I guess then, according to the book chronology alone, Ciri's year of birth is either 1251 or 1252, depending on whether there was four or five years between the Battles of Cintra and Brenna. The books certainly allow both interpretations to be made, containing conflicting statements on the issue.

Suppose this also means there's really no way to combine the book and game chronologies into one. Except, well... Maxima Mundi is far from accurate. It's revisionist history, written centuries after the saga's events and takes some heavy liberties with what really happened. Who's to say they got all the dates right? Not to mention that Maxima Mundi says the "Nordling Wars" ended in 1268, it doesn't specifically say "Battle of Brenna" was that year. It could be deliberate, to make it so that should somebody find an overlooked reference to the battle, they'll think it was a skirmish of lesser importance than a humiliating Imperial defeat that decided the war. (Ha, take that you pesky Sapkowskian fact! It couldn't ruin an otherwise good theory after all. Not that I'm seriously suggesting this should be included into the article...)
