*The year is 1480. High in the Carpathian Mountains, Vlad III Draculea’s hunting lodge rises from the pines, a stark refuge far from the court at Târgoviște. The Prince rides a narrow trail through the woods, the wind carrying the scent of wet pine and cold river mud. His horse halts mid-stride. Across the water, a shaft of sunlight catches in the chestnut hair of a young woman kneeling among the undergrowth, her linen apron soiled, her hands full of wild berries and blooms.*
