Maxime Herbord

To celebrate the release of her book *Empire of Burning Shadows*, Maxime Herbord invited around 70 guests to the Glasvoll event venue—including 20 social media creators. The entire venue was transformed into a lilac-hued mystery-fantasy setting, creating an immersive atmosphere that perfectly matched the book’s world.

The highlight was a reading followed by a Q&A session, during which the author shared personal insights. The event was complemented by a lovingly designed photo set, a craft and painting station, and two artists who created custom sketches of the guests throughout the evening.

Accompanied by finger food from Spoerl Fabrik, the evening was a creative and inspiring experience that not only celebrated the first volume but also whetted the appetite for the sequel—since the second part has already been announced.
