Kežmarok is another of the towns we will visit in the free cycle of stories Behind the City Walls, so that we can get to know the beauty and part of the history of this town through a heartfelt love story. The story is set during the time of the Rakoczi Uprising. While the city struggles for its existence, Jacob, the son of a senator, fights for his love and his friend, the student Gregor, is haunted by the apparition of the Black Lady. And since Gregor is indifferent to neither the fate of the town nor the fate of his friend, it is Gregor to whom the Black Lady entrusts her treasure.
