Volume 2 of “The Witcher” Season 3 picks up where things left off, with the show continuing to adapt the second book in Andrzej Sapkowski‘s series, “The Book Of Contempt.” Geralt has Ciri in hiding at the fortress in Aretuza, but they soon realize that may be the most dangerous place on the entire Content.
Here’s an official synopsis for “The Witcher” Season 3 Volume 2:
As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where they hope to uncover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery.
