The Shadow Cutter – A dark legacy, a forbidden gift, a cut into the heart of power. Elara Grauwind lives in Umbaschal, a city where shadows are feared, guarded, and sometimes stolen. When she discovers the ability to sever the threads between light and darkness, she becomes the target of the Shadow Guild—a secretive organization that conceals more than it reveals. Amidst forbidden magic, ancient intrigues, and the rising whispers of a rebellion, Elara must learn whom she can trust—and what price she is willing to pay. For some cuts leave no scars on the skin, but rather in the soul. An atmospheric fantasy filled with magic, secrets, and a heroine who finds the courage to shape her own shadow.
"If you find this diary, then it was all not in vain. But be warned: Some secrets were buried so that they may never see the light of day." These cryptic words of her long-lost grandmother haunt Dr. Lena Meißner as she stumbles upon a hidden map and mysterious diary fragments. What begins as archaeological curiosity turns into a dangerous race against an unseen enemy through the breathtaking heights of the Peruvian Andes. 1952: The brilliant anthropologist Helene Meißner ventures into a realm of forbidden knowledge. In search of a legendary artifact—the "Eye of Inti"—she uncovers a truth for which people would kill. Yet instead of fame, she chooses silence. Why? Today: With each step deeper into the fog-laden mountains, Lena senses she is being watched. In a remote village, where locals still speak of her grandmother with reverence and fear, her path crosses with a charismatic Peruvian archaeologist—and a man determined to stop her quest at any cost. As disturbing visions blur the line between past and present, Lena realizes: This expedition demands more than academic courage. For in the shadows of the sacred mountains lies a truth more powerful than any discovery—and deadlier than any chasm. A breathless adventure across two times. A perilous search for forbidden knowledge. And a legacy that could rewrite history.
Words can create worlds – or destroy them. Helena Weidner is an archivist at the University Library of Heidelberg – reserved, brilliant, invisible to the world. But when a centuries-old text changes overnight, her reality falls apart. What initially seems like a mistake reveals itself as a door to an ancient truth: a secret order of chroniclers guards magical writings that not only preserve history – but can also rewrite it. Amidst the fog of old alleys, between literary shadows and forgotten books, a power awakens in Helena that she never thought possible. As a renegade chronicler begins to rewrite German history, Helena must learn to control her gift – or watch as the world itself becomes fiction. A magical novel about the power of stories, the fragility of reality – and the question of who truly owns the written word. For all who love books. And for those who know that reading is never harmless.
