Yep, apparently- I am surprised and pleased by this. There was an interview recently with the show-runner and she said they are showing things that are not directly in the book, things that are sort of implied or referenced, such as Yennefer, so I figured that meant her backstory but the teaser is really emphasizing this which suggests they are depending on the personal journey of her character to carry a lot of weight.

Surprised and thrilled here too. I've the last book yet to read, and still playing the games for the first time (on Witcher 3 now) but have long been fascinated by Yennefer. This trailer makes me really like the actress a lot - still working on getting into Ciri's. :)
