Enwor. Die verbotenen Inseln

Enwor #10

by Wolfgang Hohlbein

Mit einer kostbaren Fracht beladen, versuchen Skar, Titch und die junge Kiina die Feste Caran zu erreichen. Dort leben abtrünnige Quorrl, die den Priestern und ihren Göttern in Ninga nicht mehr gehorchen und den Fliehenden Unterstützung gewähren. Die kostbare Fracht, die die drei bei sich tragen, sind Quorrl-Gelege, die vor den Häschern der Priester in Sicherheit gebracht werden sollen. Doch schnell stellt sich heraus, dass Skar den Quorrl-Rebellen unwissentlich faule Eier ins Nest gelegt hat. Nur wenige können den lebenden Mordwerkzeugen, die aus den Gelegen schlüpfen, entgehen. Und außerhalb der Feste lauern die Armeen der Priester bereits auf die Überlebenden.

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.
