🎧 Dvanásti bratia, trinásta sestra | SK AudioRozprávka 🇸🇰 (Archív)

How much does an unspoken word weigh when its price is a human life? Some promises do not belong to the world of the living—they are like a shadow that silently clings to your heels, refusing to leave you even in the deepest darkness. A royal oath has cast twelve brothers into the form of black ravens, and their only sister must now pay the price for their freedom: seven years of relentless silence, during which she must not utter a single sigh, even as clouds of betrayal gather above her and executioner flames draw near. This classic folk fairytale, brought to life in a chilling audio drama, takes you on a journey of profound sacrifice where even the quietest silence screams louder than any human voice.
