Tobias O. Meißner – Fantastic Fiction from Germany
German-language fantasy has more to offer than translated imports, and this category proves it: here Elbenwald gathers reading material by the German author Tobias O. Meißner, who has made a name for himself in the local fantastic-fiction scene. At the center stands the novel "Sieben Heere – Revolution" ("Seven Armies – Revolution") – a story about an occupied land, a defiant village, and the high price of resistance. Instead of shining chosen ones, you'll find people who have to grow beyond themselves because they have no other choice. Note for English-speaking readers: this is a German-language original with no official English translation, included here for readers of German fantasy.

What is Sieben Heere – Revolution about?
The land of Akitania has fallen: an army superior in every respect has overrun it, and most communities watch helplessly as the invaders settle in. Only the small village of Hagetmau fights back – and, through clever tactics, deals a crushing defeat to 140 soldiers. Without ever intending to, the village becomes the center of a revolution: former outsiders rise to symbolic figures, level-headed citizens take up arms. But the triumph has an expiration date, since several thousand soldiers march in for revenge, the feared gryphon riders among them. To survive this fight, Hagetmau needs far more than a clever trick – and that's exactly what this novel is about.
