Matthias Teut

Born in Schleswig-Holstein, he wrote poems as a child and lyrics as a teenager. At that time the guitar was his companion. It was not until much later that the poet-writer and lyricist became a passionate storyteller. Reading Tolkien‘s „Lord of the Rings“ had already inspired him at a young age and sparked the dream of his own world. But it took more than 20 years before drawings, text fragments and his self-invented elvish language finally became the „World of Erellgorh“. Teut used the time, wrote the history of creation and peoples, developed the magic system and practised various short stories in other genres. For some years now he has finally found the time to write down what is in his head: stories with people, dwarves and elves - with a lot of magic, suspense and a pinch of humour.

His "Erellgorh Trilogy" (shortlist for the DPP, longlist for the Seraph as the best indie title) has already reached tens of thousands of readers and his last novel "Die Elbenstifte" (2019 Longlist Phantastikpreis der Stadt Wetzlar) is already being sold as a long seller. His new novel is the prelude to a self-contained trilogy, which tells the stories of three very different characters from different peoples and spins the prequel thread of the last novel in the background.
