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.
