The story centers on Alexisbad, a small town burdened by an ancient curse originating in the early Middle Ages. Bishop Gregor forcibly removed Medea, a herbalist and healer, from her sacred ritual sites to construct a monastery on her land. Her death sparked a vengeful spirit that haunts the area for centuries. The plot activates in 2024 when Grete Landgraf inadvertently reawakens this curse during a stormy night. She becomes the target of a menacing black woman who torments her repeatedly. Grete must find a method to break the spell and end the haunting in the Harz mountains. The narrative follows her dangerous plan to confront the supernatural forces tied to Medea’s unresolved rage. This book suits readers interested in German gothic horror, medieval history, and tales of wronged healers seeking justice. It draws on local folklore regarding witches and sacred grounds.
