My latest fantasy novel, "Der Prinz hinter den Bergen", is an epic and adventurous tale about coming of age, about loyalty, taking responsibility and true friendship.

As ancient quarrels between both Fern and Fire Kingdom re-appear, young prince Rochus has to go on a dangerous quest to save what is dear to him, and to instill peace. Follow him into the underwater land of the Sea People, and deep into enemy territory, the grandiose and fierce Fire Kingdom. Meet old and new faces, enjoy the emotional and action-packed scenes, when Rochus is brutally being put to the test.

The millenia-old tale of the Deep Sea, of Fern and Fire continues!

My first fantasy novel "Der Prinz unter dem Meer" ("The Prince under the Sea") is a tragic lovestory set in an archaic, mythopoetic world. It's for readers from the age of 16 on (but also for older readers who enjoy poetic fantasy stories). There are romantic and action scenes.

Young Kaiphas and Simonea fall hopelessly in love, heirs of two kingdoms that have long been at enmity. Their romance is discovered, the prince banned under the sea as a prisoner of the sea people. Yet their love is immortal; and from there several adventures and tragic twists unfold. Follow the young prince and princess and their friends through this labyrinth of friendship and hatred, love and betrayal. Discover the Fern people, the Fire people and the Sea people and their ancient history.
