When a group of students travels to a remote Transylvanian village, their biggest worry is supposed to be bad WiFi and boring castle tours. But the moment they step inside the ancient fortress overlooking the valley, something begins watching them back.
A student vanishes.
Blood appears where no one was hurt.
Whispers echo through empty rooms, calling them by name.
And when Mira - quiet, artistic, too curious for her own good - wakes with strange marks blooming beneath her skin, the group realizes the castle isn't haunted.
It's hungry.
As secrets unravel, alliances fracture, and a hidden vampire court rises from the shadows, the students are forced into a deadly game of rituals, betrayal, and survival. One of them is marked. One of them will betray the rest. And one of them will have to sacrifice everything to stop the curse that has been waiting for centuries.
Because the castle remembers every name.
And it never forgets.
