Returning to a world that feels both familiar and strange, Decebál faces a pressing choice: track down the runaway Emmácska or investigate the enigmatic Thonuzóba. Both paths promise danger and discovery, and the young protagonist’s decision will set the stage for a journey through tangled family ties, land disputes, and the restless curiosity of a region poised between tradition and modernity.
Meanwhile, a group of eccentric meczenzéf scholars and a stubborn local scientist coordinate a daring excavation of an ancient burial mound hidden deep in the forest. Their efforts reveal a forgotten ritual site, guarded by massive pine roots and a thick limestone layer, while colorful characters—German‑Hungarian riders, flamboyant nobles, and curious academics—converge on the scene, each with their own motives.
Amid the rustle of trees and the clatter of tools, the story captures the tension between old myths and new ambitions, inviting listeners to follow Decebál as he navigates loyalty, mystery, and the wild heart of late‑19th‑century Hungary.
