Reading with LIZA GRIMM
Liza Grimm is a German author of fantastic literature who discovered her passion for myths, stories and language at an early age. After studying in Munich and an extended stay in Japan, she began to create her own worlds – with an unmistakable feel for the interplay between tradition and modern storytelling.
She became known for her novels “The Gods of Asgard” and “The Awakening of the Gods”, in which she reinterprets Norse mythology. In addition to writing, she is also a podcaster, gives workshops in creative writing and can regularly be seen at readings and conventions, where she captivates her audience.
Her stories combine poetic imagery, emotional depth and a clear voice that will not only delight fantasy fans.

Volume 2 of the epic high-fantasy dilogy “The Books of Power” invites you into the fascinating world of elemental magic, where souls are bound to books and may only be controlled by powerful bookbinders.
In Nara’s home in the eternal ice, traditions are fading – and she is the only one keeping the hope of salvation alive. As the Elemental Envoy of Water, she enters the academy’s great contest that will determine peace or chaos . But the deeper she penetrates the power structures, the more betrayal flirts among her allies: Intrigue, lies and a relentless battle for her soul book drag her into a web of doubt and a dangerous search for the truth.
This book is a mixture of “The Hunger Games” and “Avatar – The Lord of the Elements”: a competition for power, coupled with political calculation and magical suspense.
