This book sounds familiar. Did you review it, selenak?

It's Das Erlkönig-Manöver by Robert Löhr! It dragged me into another historical fandom that I have drawn fanart for and got me to go to my local bookstore twice to order the audiobook and pick it up. Only to then notice that the whole Kleist/Humboldt subplot and some of my favourite jokes had been cut.

Aha! And you even reviewed it in a post that you made after I started following you (yay Lehndorff!), so that's definitely where I'm remembering it from.
