Following season two’s chaotic finale, the next run of episodes will focus primarily on Ciri’s destiny as a world-destroyer, or hopefully a saviour if we ever want to see season four come to light. There are plenty of forces gathering to manipulate the princess’s power for themselves, including her father, but at least Ciri now has Geralt and Yennefer by her side.
