Marie Niehoff

Marie Niehoff, born in 1996, has been captivated by fantastical stories since she was a child, with a particular fondness for tales that include romance. Beyond her writing, she enjoys painting, creating mood boards, tending to her many houseplants, and reading tarot cards.
Her debut fantasy novel, “When The King Falls,” quickly became a Spiegel bestseller upon its release. The success continued with her second book, “The Queen Will Rise,” which reached the number 1 spot on the list. “Burning Crown,” the first book in her new Dragonbound trilogy, has also achieved the status of a Spiegel No.1 bestseller. To date, her books have been translated into seven languages.
