Magic between the Elbe and Speicherstadt
by Christos Coulouris
Hamburg - a city of fog, water, and secrets.
Beneath the glimmering lights of the harbor and the narrow canals of the Warehouse District lies a world unseen by most: a place where ancient alchemists once worked their craft, where kobolds whisper in forgotten tunnels, and where mermaids wait for release from an ancient curse.
When an old cookbook bought in an antique shop reveals its true, magical nature, the narrator is drawn into a hidden dimension of the city. From secret markets beneath St. Pauli to underground alchemical workshops, he follows a trail of mystery leading to the lost Gold of the Alchemists - a treasure said to hold power over life and death.
But magic is never without consequence.
The deeper he ventures, the more blurred the line becomes between myth and reality - until he must confront the question of whether he is mastering the magic... or being mastered by it.
A captivating collection of short stories and poems revealing the mystical heart of Hamburg - filled with wonder, maritime soul, and the timeless allure of the unknown.
