In the misty realm of 1935 Ireland, Kilkenny Castle harbours a dark secret. Count Alexei Damascus, a charming yet malevolent vampire and distant cousin of Dracula, awakens from a 435-year slumber. As he emerges into a world vastly changed, Damascus sets his sights on establishing a new reign of terror, starting with the unsuspecting inhabitants of Kilkenny. Blending seamlessly into high society with his aristocratic allure, Damascus weaves a web of influence and deceit. But as mysterious deaths plague the town, a unlikely group of heroes emerges: a quick-witted cook, a skeptical groundskeeper, and a perceptive maid, aided by a young priest with a shadowy past. Racing against time, this improbable team must unravel the count's sinister plot before he amasses an army of the undead. "Whispers in the Ancient Stones" is a tale of gothic horror and human courage, where charm masks evil, and the fate of Ireland hangs in the balance.
