Fiction
Lagoon Whisperer
by Gunnar Kunz
Description
Come to me. Don’t be afraid. Resist no longer the whispers of the lagoon. Climb down the stairs of the sunken houses of Venice, floor by floor. Deeper. Deeper. Below, in the darkness, something is waiting for you. A secret. Salvation. Death.
Black fog creeps towards Venice, black as the paint of a gondola, meandering through the lagoon and filling the channels with something dark. Something evil. Something that brings death and doom. Marco, son of a glassblower, and his girlfriend Chiara, the mask-maker, seem to be the only ones capable of saving Venice. But in doing so, they must not only fight against ancient magic, against intrigue and betrayal, but also surrender themselves to the whispering of the lagoon - and the fish-men, who according to legend live deep under the city.

Reviews
Stylistically on a high level, the novel moves on fantastically rare paths. (...) Gunnar Kunz enchants not only with the setting but also with the dosed use of fantastic abilities that have not yet been read.

Anyone who has ever been to Venice knows what magic the city exudes. (...) In this already fascinating setting, Gunnar Kunz has woven a great fantasy story (...) that shines with its wealth of ideas and lovingly created characters.

I give the book the full number of stars. The book is written so excitingly and immediately took me into another world.
