An evening between demons, passion, and literary tension

With Lucifer Ascending – One Sinful Secret, Marie Niehoff opens an evening in Gera that elegantly blurs the boundaries between dark fantasy, reading, and author encounters. On June 3, 2026, the Spiegel bestselling author will read from her new novel at the Gera City and Regional Library, taking the audience to Edinburgh, where Lilian, daughter of a demon, struggles for her fate amidst distrust, loyalty, and dangerous alliances.

A reading with atmospheric impact

Marie Niehoff represents modern fantasy with emotional intensity, clear literary art, and character design that immediately draws in romantasy readers. Her new work builds on the strength of her bestsellers and combines dark world designs with a dense love story. In the intimate reading atmosphere of a library, this mix unfolds its special effect.

The allure of dark fantasy experienced live

The evening promises a literary experience that not only makes the plot of Lucifer Ascending audible, but also sharpens the view of the author's development. Niehoff's books have already been translated into several languages; her fantasy debut When the King Falls made it onto the Spiegel bestseller list, with The Queen Will Rise reaching number one. With Burning Crown, she continued her success story and has established herself as a defining voice in the German-speaking romantasy genre.

A place with a reading culture and closeness to the audience

The Gera City and Regional Library at Puschkinplatz is more than just a venue: it is a meeting point for reading promotion, culture, and exchange. Doors open at 18:30, and the reading runs from 19:30 to 21:00. This creates a compact, focused frame for an author encounter that fosters intimacy and leaves room for conversation.

What the reading is about

At the center is the story of Lilian and Jupiter, of a pact with the devil, of seduction, power, and the question of how far loyalty can stretch. It is this mixture of tension, myth, and romantic darkness that makes the allure of the evening. Those seeking literary quality in the genre of dark fantasy will find here a reading with a clearly recognizable profile.

In the end, visitors can expect an evening that not only tells fantasy but makes it tangible: with voice, atmosphere, and the presence of an author who knows how to captivate her audience. Those wishing to experience current romantasy live should mark this date in Gera and enjoy the encounter with Marie Niehoff on site.
