Black Castle Olshansky

History goes back to the great antiquity of the 18th century. In those distant troubled times, Prince Olshansky steals the treasury and jewelry of the rebels, but suddenly dies, leaving a manuscript that indicates the location of the treasures.

Paleographer and writer Anton Kosmich finds parchment with encrypted indication of the treasures hidden in the dungeon of Olšany Castle. But these treasures are also sought by the last offspring of the Olshansky clan, who collaborated with the Nazis during the war years.

The secret of the manuscript will be revealed, but at what cost ...
