example from "novel" book class does not compile

I tried to compile the example document novel-example.tex delivered as part of the novel package. The compilation terminated with the message: ! Package fontspec Error: The font "LatinModernRoman" cannot be found. Does anyone know what the cause is?

In my case, the example document is located under E:miktex-portabletexmfsinstalldoclualatexnovelextrasnovel-example.tex.
