…Poenari Castle stood silhouetted against the darkening sky, a silent sentinel guarding its profound and terrifying history.

The story was not over; it had merely found its voice, and I, it seemed, was destined to be its reluctant storyteller.

And its deepest, most chilling secret had finally been laid bare, not for the world, but for me, its most unlikely keeper.
