Forbidden Empire (2014)

As dawn breaks on the 18th century, the audacious cartographer, Jonathan Green, embarks on a voyage of scientific discovery. Leaving the familiarity of Europe behind, he ventures eastward, charting a course through the enigmatic lands of Transylvania and across the formidable Carpathian Mountains. His journey lands him in an isolated village, nestled in the heart of an impenetrable forest—an eerie location shrouded in perpetual fog, reached only by the whims of chance and destiny. The villagers, a peculiar folk unlike any he has encountered, have carved their existence into this sequestered wilderness, fortifying their settlement with an imposing moat. United by a naive conviction, they believe this physical barrier will shield them from the lurking evils of the world. However, they remain blissfully ignorant of the sinister force that has taken root in their own souls, biding its time to unleash its malevolence upon the world. In this fantastical Romanian enclave teeming with dangerous creatures and cryptic secrets, Jonathan Green strives to map the uncharted, oblivious of the ominous shadows that darken his path. 'Forbidden Empire' is a chilling tale that explores humanity's struggle against unseen horrors, the lure of exploration, and the thin line between fear and discovery.
