O Castelo De Otranto by Horace Walpole
Set in a crumbling medieval court shaken by supernatural omens, the novel follows a tyrannical prince whose heir is mysteriously killed by a falling helmet; desperate to secure his line he pursues the young woman intended for that son, who flees and is aided by a humble youth named Theodore. As strange portents, ancestral prophecies and gothic apparitions multiply, secrets about birthright and identity come to light, leading to the tyrant’s downfall and the restoration of the rightful succession amid eerie castles, chivalric conflict and romantic rescues.
