Morgengrauen

Nemesis #6

by Wolfgang Hohlbein

Nur einer der hoffnungsvollen Erben, die sich am vorigen Abend auf Burg Krailsfelden versammelt hatten, erlebt das Morgenlicht des nächsten Tages. Inzwischen hat er begreifen müssen, dass sie alle nur unter einem Vorwand hergelockt wurden, um eine grausige Rache zu vollziehen. Aber er weiß noch immer nicht, wer hinter den Morden steckt. Dann taucht der totgeglaubte Gastgeber wieder auf, und die letzten Masken fallen. Nichts ist so, wie es schien, und der Mörder steht kurz vor seinem endgültigen Triumph...

About the author

Wolfgang Hohlbein is a German author of science fiction, fantasy and horror fiction who lives near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. His wife, Heike, is also a writer and often works with her husband. She often comes up with the story ideas and therefore is generally credited as co-author. Their daughter, Rebecca, is also a writer.

Writing short stories since age 15, Hohlbein was first recognized as an author after sending in a manuscript he and his wife had written at a fantasy and science fiction writing contest in 1982. They won and their book, Märchenmond (English title: "Magic Moon"), was published by Ueberreuter Publishing, soon becoming a bestseller and winning several awards. It is one of their greatest successes till today.

Many of his more than 200 books are translated and published in many European countries as well as in South Korea. Yet for many years none of his works had been translated into English. In 2006, Magic Moon was translated into English and published in the United States.
