The tale centers on Mistle, a highborne woman secretly in love with her handmaiden Juniper. Their lives are torn apart when Emehr, Emperor of Nilfgaard, sends his mercenary Bert Brigden to purge towns outside imperial control. Believing Juniper dead, Mistle narrowly survives with the help of Asse, her stablehand, who escapes with her and eventually leads them to join The Rats.As the young thieves’ opportunities dwindle, their leader Giselher proposes an ambitious heist: infiltrate a new fighting arena established by Dominik Houvenaghel and rob its vault during a major event. The vault, however, is guarded by a Jalowick, a monster that only a Witcher can kill. Desperate, The Rats recruit Brehen, a disgraced and alcoholic former Witcher infamous for abandoning a striga contract.Training under Kayleigh and Reef, Asse prepares for his fight, but everything unravels when Mistle discovers the arena’s true purpose. It was built by Brigden, who, eager to earn Emehr’s favor, has been conducting horrific experiments to create a new kind of monster—using human subjects, including Juniper. Determined to save her, The Rats and Brehen attempt to restore Juniper’s humanity while evading Bonhart, who is hunting them to claim Brehen’s Witcher medallion.The story culminates in a brutal clash. Brehen sacrifices himself so The Rats can escape, thwarting Bonhart—for the moment. Their flight across the Continent continues until fate brings them to Princess Cirilla of Cintra, and toward the end of their road.Sending us feedbackIf you want to send us your thoughts on anything we do please email us at [email protected] join us on our facebook group at https://facebook.com/groups/tvpodcastindustries or join us on twitter at https://twitter.com/tvpodindustries or @tvpodindustries.Thank you for joining us for the next part of our Witcher Season 4 Podcast.
