Enchantment

An American graduate student stumbles upon an ancient princess asleep in a Carpathian forest and breaks her magical slumber with a kiss. This act pulls him backward in time into a medieval realm governed by dark magic and powerful witches. He must use his modern wits and courage to protect her from an enduring evil entity. The narrative weaves traditional folklore and romance across a split temporal setting.
