Čachtice Castle, a 13th-century fortress in Slovakia, stands as a testament to the region's complex history. Built to defend against Mongol invasions, it played a central role in protecting the region and served as a residence for Hungarian nobility.

The castle became intertwined with the dark legend of Elizabeth Báthory, the "Blood Countess" accused of torturing and killing hundreds of young girls. Her trial is one of the most infamous in European history, with many historians arguing it was politically motivated.

The castle's decline began after Elizabeth's death in 1614, and it was eventually abandoned and left to ruin. Today, it is a shadow of its former glory, but its aura of mystery remains, drawing visitors who come to explore its haunted ruins and learn about its dark history.

22 parts Complete

An #OpenNovellaContest (#ONC) Ambassador Pick! Eleanor and Lydia, book 1 Armed with knitting needles and a fantastic playlist, Eleanor and Lydia set off to solve The Mystery of Novak Manor. Eleanor Albright is a spritely ninety-year-old ex-detective with more than a few skeletons in her closet and a grim determination to keep them there by hiding from the world. Her great-granddaughter Lydia is twenty-two- years old and sorely misunderstood by the world. After all, just because a girl dresses in all black and listens to My Chemical Romance doesn't mean she lacks vision or hope. Well... maybe hope. When Lord Novak calls Eleanor from his castle in a tiny, beautiful Eastern European nation with a desperate plea for help, she agrees, with mixed emotions, to come out of retirement and she talks Lydia into serving as her assistant. Now the two women must find the truth about the fearsome ghost that's haunting Novak Manor before the "ghost" finds the legendary secret treasure with the power to bring the monarchy to its knees.
