In a shadowed cavern beneath a forest of towering beech and pine, an ancient ritual is about to begin. Jagged stone walls are strewn with animal skulls, antlers and a crude wooden idol that bears the remnants of forgotten worship. A thin shaft of late‑afternoon sun filters through the trees, lighting the smoke‑stained fire where a solemn figure waits for the next offering.
At the heart of the scene sits Ünő, an aged but fierce woman whose dark braids and tattooed cheeks mark her as the keeper of the fire spirit. Across from her, the young and ethereal Virágszál watches with a mixture of reverence and curiosity, while two nervous, dwarf‑like servants fumble with dry branches, fearing the encroaching darkness. Their uneasy exchange hints at a looming test of loyalty and survival, setting the stage for a journey that will pull the characters deeper into the mysteries of the cavern and the forces that linger within it.

1874–1950
A Hungarian writer, statesman, and artist, he is best remembered for the sweeping Transylvanian Trilogy, which brings the final years of the Austro-Hungarian world vividly to life. His career moved between politics, theater, design, and fiction, giving his novels an unusual richness and sense of lived history.
