The Edge of All Things

1400 AD
The Reign of Mircea I
By the year 1400 AD, age of our Lord, Europe had already staggered beneath calamities that reshaped the very soul of Christendom. The Great Famine of 1314 had starved nations, the Black Death that erupted in 1345 scoured entire populations, and the crowns of France and England clashed in what history would call the Hundred Years’ War.
It has been a hundred years after Basarab claimed the throne of Wallachia. Now the realm stood—not as a province of another crown, but as a realm sovereign in its blood and destiny, and his great grandson, Prince Mircea, sat the throne and wore the crown like no other Danubian Prince.
And yet, for all the love and sorrow of his life, for all the heroism of his reign, the world would remember him in simpler terms—little more than the grandfather of Dracula.
