Reading from *Journey of Destiny to Abbazia*

Astrid Miglar will be reading from her new historical novel, *Schicksalsreise nach Abbazia*, at the Siebensterne*Haus (Stadtplatz 30).

Let yourself be transported back to the year 1918 in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. We’ll travel along the tracks of the Südbahn over the Semmering Pass to Abbazia (today’s Opatija) and experience a story about courage, moral boundaries, and the search for a new life. 

One train—two women—one fatal mistake 

Edina, a talented thief, becomes caught up in a dramatic train accident during a journey on the Southern Railway. As the survivors are taken to Abbazia, a fateful mistake occurs: Edina, who bears a striking resemblance to a baroness traveling with them, is mistaken for her doppelgänger.

Dangerous schemes in the luxurious spa town 

Now she becomes a pawn in a game of ruthless schemes—while the fate of the real baroness remains unknown.

Identity: Between Opportunity and Danger 

Edina faces the crucial question of who she truly wants to be—and how far she is willing to go to survive.
