What is it about?

What traces does the past leave behind in our time? And what memories leave traces in our souls?

The novel "Als zuerst stirbt die Hummelkönigin" will be on sale from November. It is a paranormal mystery novel that takes us into the abysses of human emotions.

1873 in the royal seat of Cassel: the occultist Loui de la Rouge sacrifices seven people at a séance. But the séance turns out differently than expected and the occultist himself dies. One hundred and fifty years later, student Rosmarie stumbles into her shared kitchen, hungover and burnt out, only to find the body of her flatmate there. Rosmarie decides to solve her roommate's death. She is repeatedly haunted by a ghostly apparition - the paper woman. But the paper woman is not the only demon Rosmarie encounters. As events unfold, the student is haunted by her own ghosts from the past.
