Der dunkelste aller Zauber

Never trust a wizard. If 16-year-old Elisabeth knows one thing, it's this: all wizards are deeply evil. Since she was abandoned as an orphan on the steps of one of the great libraries of Austermeer, she has grown up among magical grimoires—books that whisper from the shelves, clank their iron chains, and transform into deadly monsters of ink and paper when provoked. When the most dangerous grimoire in the entire library is released due to an act of sabotage, Elisabeth is blamed. She has no choice but to turn to her arch-nemesis—the wizard Nathaniel Thorn. Together with him and his demonic servant Silas, Elisabeth soon finds herself in the crosshairs of a centuries-old conspiracy. Soon, not only all the great libraries are at risk, but the entire world. A top-notch fantasy: gripping, atmospheric, and humorous all at once.
