Countess Erzhebet Báthory. Her name was desperately trying to be consigned to oblivion, but some stories have the power to turn into legends. As if the very earth keeps the memories of days from which the voices of ghosts drift. Their voices are so piercing that even time itself retreats before them.

This story began in the ancestral estates of Hungarian nobility. In the halo of the wealth and glory of her forebears, a girl grew up whose veins carried the blood of kings and knights; her beauty inspired admiration, and her riches bred envy. She had everything she could possibly wish for—except one thing: power over eternity. For the relentless passage of time spares no one…

And now, horrifying rumors creep through the countryside about people who have vanished without a trace. Bad gossip spreads like a poisonous fog, poisoning people’s hearts with fear. What lurks in the shadow of luxurious castles whose walls can drown out cries of despair?

In the 18th century, by the will of chance, the Jesuit László Turoczi comes into possession of court documents in the Báthory case. The contents impress him so deeply that he sets off in pursuit of the trail of a sinister legend. But the deeper the investigator immerses himself in the past, the clearer he understands that it has not disappeared—it has only hidden itself in the shadows of an old castle and local traditions.

Read this tale of the Bloody Countess, told in voices that differ. About how a chain of fatal coincidences gives birth to monstrous things. About what the devil conceals in details. A story where truth intertwines with fiction, turning into a dark legend over which time has no power.
