Also, a big thanks to all my patrons - you make my work possible. Sign up to my newsletter or follow me on social media to stay up to date on my latest work. I'm currently working on the second Enderal novel. When I'm not writing or reading, I make music, travel, longboard, study languages, and try to see and experience as much of the world as I can. I feel drawn to all things off the beaten path, and do my best to make my work reflect that. Many things have shaped my own writing: a turbulent childhood, living in five different countries, and numerous encounters I've been fortunate enough to have with fascinating people from all walks of life. Growing up in both the heart of Munich and a bucolic Bavarian farmhouse, my love for stories began by reading German fairytales in the attic (and getting traumatized by those of Struwwelpeter) and was nurtured by copious amounts of fantasy, horror, and historical fiction. I'm a German author best known for my writing for the indie videogame "Enderal - Forgotten Stories," which grew from insider tip to sleeper hit. It's a must-read and should be considered a classic in the making." - Amanda Castro, BookstagrammerĬW: Profanity, Violence, Sex, Death, Suicide, Rape, Substance Abuse Worldbuilding with worlds inside of worlds.

Hoping to turn the page, Jespar accepts a mysterious invitation into the beautiful but dangerous archipelago of Kilay-and everything changes. It's a lonely existence, but barring the occasional bout of melancholia, he has found the closest thing to peace a man like him deserves.
