Hotel Magnifique cover

In Hotel Magnifique, Jani and her sister enter a magical hotel, only to uncover dark secrets hidden beneath its luxurious façade.

The legendary Hotel Magnifique is unlike any other, offering a magical world filled with golden ceilings, enchanting soirées, and fountains that flow with champagne. This extraordinary hotel changes its location every night, visiting each place only once every decade. When the Hotel Magnifique arrives in her hometown, seventeen-year-old Jani devises a plan to secure jobs for herself and her younger sister, driven by a desire to escape their mundane life.

As luck would have it, with a stroke of luminous ink on paper, the sisters find themselves swept into a life of adventure and luxury. They revel in the opulence that surrounds them, but Jani soon starts to notice the darker aspects hidden beneath the hotel's glamorous surface. Questions arise about the enigmatic maître who oversees the hotel, and Jani becomes increasingly concerned about the true cost of their newfound lifestyle.

As the story unfolds, the sisters must navigate the enchanting yet perilous world of the Hotel Magnifique. They embark on a journey to uncover the secrets lurking within its walls, racing against time to understand the sinister truths before it’s too late. The juxtaposition of wonder and danger makes for a captivating tale that explores themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the price of dreams.
