“LeoZeit: Schatten” book presentation on 9 April 2027 at the Stadtbücherei Leonberg

What has Leonberg been hiding for four hundred years? On Friday, 9 April 2027, Anna-Mariia Kostiuk presents her dark fantasy novel “LeoZeit: Schatten” (“LeoZeit: Shadows” in English) at the Stadtbücherei Leonberg, the town library.

In the Pomeranzengarten, in the middle of July, the jet of water from the fountain freezes in midair. A woman in black stands on the balustrade and says, “Give him back.” That is how the novel begins. Alicia, new to Leonberg, follows a trail back to the year 1614. The foreword was written by Josefa von Hohenzollern, the town’s Deputy Mayor.

Instead of a traditional reading, the author shows a short film and plays music from her own soundtrack. In “Sieben Blüten,” the strategy game based on the novel, two guests play against each other on the big screen. After that, Anna-Mariia Kostiuk talks about how the world of LeoZeit came to be and signs copies of the book. All guests receive a small surprise gift.
