In Kamnik, beneath the ruins of Mali grad, Veronika lies hidden—a beautiful but haughty countess who, due to her vanity, cursed herself and transformed into half-woman, half-snake. Legend says that in a fit of rage, she struck a stone, which split open, and she slithered through the crack into the darkness. But the story does not end with punishment—it ends with hope. Under the ruins, Veronika guards a treasure and waits for redemption. A cradle made of oak has yet to rock the boy who will one day save her—with warmth and sincerity.
