[German] - Träume der Todgeweihten

"'Wohin kannst du fliehen, wenn der Feind dein eigener Verstand ist?' In der Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang folgt der Ex-Söldner Jespar tre Moreste einer geheimnisvollen Einladung ins malerische Inselreich Kilay. Doch die tropische Idylle trügt: Geplagt von gesellschaftlicher Ungleichheit und radikalen Revolutionären, steuert das Reich auf einen Bürgerkrieg zu. Einzig Kilays mächtigster Magnat Jaaros Oonai könnte die Katastrophe noch abwenden, doch er ist in ein rätselhaftes Koma gefallen. Die Suche nach der Ursache führt Jespar nicht nur quer über den Archipel, in ein Netz aus Intrigen und buchstäblich in die Albträume des Magnaten hinein, sie zwingt ihn auch, seinen eigenen Dämonen ins Gesicht zu blicken. Der Kampf um das Schicksal Kilays wird zur Schlacht um Jespars Leben und Verstand, und während die Grenzen zwischen Traum und Realität immer weiter verschwimmen, bleibt nur eine Frage: Wohin kannst du fliehen, wenn der Feind dein eigener Verstand ist? 'Träume der Todgeweihten' ist eine fesselnde Mischung aus Fantasy, Mystery und psychologischem Horror, die tief in die Abgründe der menschlichen Psyche vordringt."

Julia Rateike, Nicolas Lietzau (Author), Erik Schäffler, Martin Sabel (Narrator)

Dreams of the Dying (Standard Edition)

"Years after a harrowing war experience, ex-mercenary Jespar tre Moreste has taken to drifting. 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. Life is “all right.” ​Or so he believes. Hoping to turn the page, Jespar accepts a mysterious invitation into the beautiful but dangerous archipelago of Kilay—and everything changes. Plagued by boiling social tensions and terrorism, the tropical empire is edging ever closer to civil war. Kilay’s merchant king is the only person able to prevent this catastrophe, but he has fallen into a preternatural coma—and it’s Jespar’s task to figure out what or who caused it. As the investigation takes him across the archipelago and into the king’s nightmares, unexpected events not only tie Jespar’s own life to the mystery but also unearth inner demons he believed to be exorcised long ago. ​Battling old trauma while fighting for his life, his sanity, and the fate of Kilay, the line between dream and reality blurs until only one question remains: If your mind is the enemy, where do you run? A slow-burning, riveting blend of fantasy, mystery, and psychological horror, Dreams of the Dying is a deep exploration of mental illness, morality, and the dark sides of humanity."
