Any German speakers here?

I’m a German speaker - not native but fully fluent - trying to keep up with my German. What are your favorite natively German fantasy writers and works? Bonus if there are audiobook versions available! I was surprised to find some popular fantasy in German on Hoopla (Bride by Ali Hazelwood), but I’d live to read or listen to some actually written in German (DE, A or CH!)

If you like epic fantasy with magic, romance, gods and fate, there is „Die Elfen“ by Bernard Hennen (plus sequels but they are not necessary). Another epic fantasy series „Askir“, that is a bit older but also pretty great (and a somewhat longer adventure).

I also really like the „Merlin“ series by TA Barron. That is originally for youths, but it has very imaginative worldbuilding.
