Greifenstein

In the crumbling heights of a once‑grand castle, a proud, gaunt baroness clings to the ghost of her family’s honor. Though the walls of Sigmundskron loom like a silent reminder of former glory, the mother and her beautiful daughter subsist on a meager pension, refusing any compromise that would betray the memory of the fallen lieutenant. The promise of a wealthy suitor, Greif, offers a fragile hope of restoration—if only the daughter can become the bride the estate needs.

Hilda, delicate and fair, grows under the weight of a secret sacrifice. Her mother’s unyielding thrift turns hunger into a quiet transaction, as the baroness pretends a loss of appetite while the girl consumes the portion meant for them both. The tension between pride, poverty, and the looming marriage creates a simmering mystery that pulls listeners into a world where love and survival are tangled in the shadows of an ancient stone.
