Schatten über Akreb

Shadows over Akreb

A storm, a foreign island and secrets older than any village.

Cover: Erben des Sturms
Volume 1

Erben des Sturms (Heirs of the Storm)

German-language edition

A storm tears the night apart. When Konrad and Johan wake up on the beach of a foreign island, they have lost everything: their ship, their gear – and every trace of their old lives.

At first the Akreb Archipelago seems like a place to start over. But behind the rugged cliffs and quiet villages lies something nobody dares to name. People disappear. Old shafts in the forest are avoided. And at night there are whispers of things that should have stayed underground.

As the two strangers try to find their footing on Kurantis, they are drawn ever deeper into a web of mistrust, power and hidden truths. Some secrets of this island are older than any village.

Volume 2

Jäger des Sturms (Hunters of the Storm)

German-language edition

The fog swallows the Black Ships. Konrad and Johan take up their trail – deeper into the Akreb Archipelago, away from everything that had become familiar. What begins as a hunt becomes a journey into the island's hidden machinery.

Behind the dealings of the merchants' guild and the venerable walls of the government lies a plan nobody names aloud. People keep silent. Contracts carry second truths. And in the east, where the fog never lifts, an island waits that appears on no map.

As the two strangers reach Vorta, they are drawn ever deeper into a web of power, betrayal and old promises – and meet Serafina again. Some truths of this sea are older than the realm itself.
