Az uj földesur (2. kötet)

In the shadow of Pest, 1862, a forgotten manor stands half‑concealed behind the flamboyant Renaissance façade of Ankerschmidt’s new castle. Vines clutch the crumbling walls, ancient chestnut trees loom like silent sentinels, and a lawn of untended grass sweeps the grounds. The estate, once the domain of the reclusive Garanvölgyi family, now hosts the periodic visits of the enigmatic Kampós, who arrives every quarter with a bundle of keys and a purpose shrouded in secrecy.

Within the dimly lit rooms, the mysterious Straff, a pianist of uncommon skill, watches as Kampós produces a tiny ebony cabinet and unlocks it with a delicate key. The ritual of sealed documents, a candle’s flicker, and a whispered seal hints at a plot that could involve hidden fortunes or dangerous knowledge. As the night deepens, hushed conversations between servants and the arrival of Bräuhäusel’s armed emissary raise the stakes, drawing the listener into a world of lingering suspense and quiet intrigue.
