Features: A masterpiece of contemporary German fantasy literature! "We can change reality. We are only a few people, and none of us knows why we have been given this terrible power, but we have it." For centuries, mysterious female guardians have overseen the archives in another world. In the archives, scribes record people's lives in books. However, when unauthorised individuals enter this underground labyrinth of books to rewrite history and change reality, the order of things is in danger. The young heiress of a bookstore, Leonie, gradually realises that she possesses a "gift" and has been chosen to fight, to seize the only true reality, and to win the battle. At the age of fifteen, Leonie comes from a family of booksellers. She suddenly encounters a series of strange events: doors appear out of thin air, a mysterious old carriage drives through the streets, a very intelligent mouse, the radio broadcasts the voice of Leonie's deceased grandmother, who warns her of the great danger she will face. Her parents disappear through a mysterious door from the basement of their home. Leonie follows her parents and falls into a vast labyrinth of books. In the labyrinth, monstrous scribes meticulously record every moment of people's lives. Leonie still doesn't know that she, like her grandmother, possesses a "gift" and belongs to an extremely ancient group of female guardians.

Her opponent, the head librarian, is the nightmare ruler of the underground world of books, cold and ruthless. This is a novel that tells the story of how, somehow, Leonie's facial expression becomes a clear frown of disagreement.
