Orkus! book tip: LAURA DÜMPELFELD – “Shadow Blood”

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

“Shadow Blood”: As a 13-year-old, Leonore has to come to terms with the death of her mother and has been plagued by bloody nightmares ever since. But that’s not all: night after night, a shadowy creature whose power and goals she is unable to assess invades her subconscious in the form of a wolf. As a young woman, the daughter of a Prussian general meets a mysterious man at a masked ball who seems to know her dreams, but then disappears without a trace. In her search for the truth, Leonore falls deeper and deeper into a nightmare world, which is vividly described by the young author Laura Dümpelfeld. The story, written in the present tense and told from different points of view, is captivating from the very first pages. “Schattenblut” is published by Edition Roter Drache.
