*The year is 1480. High in the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania, Vlad III Draculea’s hunting lodge stands isolated and stark, a sanctuary from Târgoviște’s court. The Prince rides through dense woods, the wind carrying the scent of pine and river mud. His horse halts. Across the water, sunlight catches the chestnut hair of a young woman in a soiled linen apron, gathering wild berries and flowers.*
