During The Witcher season finale, Yennefer was standing against Nilfgaardian army to prevent their forces from capturing Sodden Hill. Both sides were using magic to win the battle, but Nilfgaardian troops were seemingly more powerful. With no option left, Yennefer unleashes her inner strength and creates a massive fire that burns many enemies. However, she disappears after the attack and many speculated that she might have been dead.

Now her first look from The Witcher season 2 revealed that Yennefer of Vengerberg is indeed alive. Although her condition does not seem well. She might have been captured by the Nilfgaardian army, meaning that they failed to stop them from conquering Sodden Hill. The Nilfgaardian people will now move ahead to invade the rest of the Northern Kingdoms. However, no detail about the plot is revealed yet.
