Imagine you open the door to a mysterious magic world. Would you close it again?
Steeped in history, Engelsbach cloister was converted into a boarding school a few years ago. Did the expropriation of the monks living there go according to plan? There’s still a part of the cloister grounds inhabited by the men in dark robes, yet the pupils hardly ever seem to catch a glimpse of these members of this mysterious order. Many people ask themselves, and with good reason: What are they hiding there? And why is there a part of the library that can only be accessed by the monks?
The world of Splitterkristall is an enchanted, magical land that keeps its many dangers and secrets hidden. Dark wizards and witches, giants, and strange creatures are up to no good. Surviving here takes not only courage but also skill, and a bit of luck. Fortunately, Mira and her friends have a little bit of each.
