Overview
A German fantasy universe built around bibliomancy -- magic worked through books -- told across two connected series: the Die Seiten der Welt trilogy (2014-2016), following a young bibliomancer named Furia through a hidden world of living libraries, and its follow-up duology Die Spur der Bucher (2017-2018), set in the same world. All five novels are in German, with no confirmed English translation.
