Dantès follows Abbé Faria through the narrow tunnel into his legendary cell—and finds not grandeur, but brilliance in disguise. With sunrays marking hours and a hidden cache beneath the hearth, Faria transforms stone into sanctuary. His intellect is matched only by his meticulous preparation.

In a world of dust and darkness, this room holds treasure of a different kind: knowledge, devotion, and one man’s life’s work.
