Recently Acquired Separated from the group, Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris confront Dracula at his castle. As the sun sets, they break into his coffin. Sacrificing himself, Quincey drives a Bowie knife into Dracula's heart, causing him to crumble into dust, ending his reign of terror and freeing Mina from his dark curse.
"Then we looked back and saw where the clear line of Dracula’s castle cut the sky; for we were so deep under the hill whereon it was set that the angle of perspective of the Carpathian Mountains was far below it. We saw it in all its grandeur, perched a thousand feet on the summit of a sheer precipice, and with seemingly a great gap between it and the steep of the adjacent mountain on any side. There was something wild and uncanny about the place. We could hear the distant howling of wolves. They were far off, but the sound, even though coming muffled through the deadening snowfall, was full of terror."
