The Darkness Within Us - A bennünk lakozó sötétség - Az árnyak köztünk 2.
A nő a szépsége álarca mögé rejtőzik. A férfi a titkai börtönében él.
Chrysantha Stathos győzött. Éles eszét és becsvágyát egy gyönyörű, üresfejű lány álarca mögé rejtve vált dúsgazdag hercegnévé. Amint idős férje meghal, végre megkapja mindazt a szabadságot, pénzt és biztonságot, amire vágyott.
Legalábbis így hitte.
Felbukkan egy férfi, aki azt állítja, hogy ő Chrysantha kicsapongó természetű néhai férjének rég elveszett unokája – és igényt tart a nő örökségére. Mintha ez nem volna elég, Chrysantha kishúga épp királynévá készül válni, és ezt nem restelli az orra alá dörgölni.
Chrysantha úgy érzi, csak egyetlen dolgot tehet: túlragyogja Alessandrát a saját esküvőjén. És ami ezt az unokát illeti? Neki mennie kell. Nem számít, hogy veszettül jóképű, titokzatos, sőt, különleges képességekkel bír… Nem, Chrysantha Eryx Demos halálát akarja.
És a Stathos lányok mindig megszerzik, amit akarnak.
Gonoszsággal átszőtt ifjúsági romantikus fantasy egy becsvágyó fiatal hercegnéről és a hataloméhes örökösről, akik megvívnak az örökségért – Tricia Levenseller Az árnyak köztünk című regényének elragadó testvérkötete.

Urban landscapes in Iron Age Iberia
Urban Landscapes in Iron Age Iberia provides an up-to-date synthesis on the urbanism of Iron Age hillforts and oppida of Iberia. The emergence of large and complex fortified settlements is a characteristic phenomenon of the period between the Late Iron Age and the expansion of the Roman Empire (4th–1st centuries BC) in extensive areas of Central and Western Europe. In this geographical context the Iberian Peninsula has a key position between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. A vast Spanish and Portuguese scientific literature has revealed a very diverse scenario with different paths for the development of complex urbanism, in some cases presenting clear alternatives to the Mediterranean models introduced by Phoenician-Punic, Greek, and Roman influence. The book integrates a series of novel contributions from across Iberian archaeology, with an explicit examination of urban structures using a rigorous multidisciplinary approach. Together they demonstrate the potential value and relevance of archaeological data for Urbanization Studies.

The Wise and Their Works
The Wise and Their Works celebrates the 175th anniversary of the Great Exhibition in 2026. The men who inspired the Great Exhibition of 1851 - Henry Cole, Sir Robert Peel and above all Prince Albert himself - were at the centre of an extraordinary combination of manufacturing, commercial skill and political vision which made Victorian Britain an unparalleled success story. In this celebratory book, A. N. Wilson examines the legacy they left behind: their idealistic beliefs about free trade, decency and parliamentary democracy, and their ultimate vision of the human race at peace with prosperity spreading, while poverty and warfare were consigned to history. While their loftier ambitions may not have come to pass, these enterprising men did leave behind a little known but hugely influential organisation, the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, which still supports industry, science and art in the UK. Skillfully delving into this rich and fascinating history, Wilson takes us on a journey into the heart of the progressive Victorian dream, and where it has left us today.

Masky bohů 3 - Mýty Západu
Kniha Mýty Západu původně vyšla v roce 1964 jako třetí svazek monumentální čtyřdílné série Masky bohů a stejně jako nová vydání předchozích dílů, Primitivní mytologie a Orientální mytologie, i tato kniha začleňuje aktuální poznatky z archeologie, antropologie a psychologie. V tomto svazku autor sleduje mytologické základy západních náboženství a proměnu, k níž došlo při přechodu od mytologií zaměřených na ženský princip k patriarchálním náboženským systémům. Ukazuje, jak kdysi ústřední postavení plodné bohyně Země – matky a dárkyně života – postupně nahradily kulty mužských božstev spojených s mocí, válkou a zákonem. Autor zde zkoumá mytologické kořeny judaismu, křesťanství, islámu a zoroastrismu a sleduje jejich vzájemné ovlivňování v průběhu dějin.

Castor Fox, heir to the Dominion empire, is proud of his family’s legacy. When a chance road accident throws them together, their connection is undeniable. But as they begin to fall for each other, a devastating truth comes to light: Nova is Castor’s Pain Carrier.

Recover Me
Getting clean was just the beginning... DJ Fat Tony has lived a thousand lives: celebrated nightlife icon, survivor of decades-long addiction to drugs, alcohol and sex, and a LGBTQ activist who navigated trauma, abuse, and the AIDS epidemic. In Recover Me, Tony charts his journey from the hard graft of addiction to self-acceptance, affirming that recovery is not a destination but an ongoing commitment to accountability. Tony's story is marked by setbacks - dishonesty, victimhood, toxic relationships, and relapses into old behaviours - but also by moments of breakthrough and growth. He learns to navigate the complexities of early recovery, the allure of chaos and drama, and the necessity of honest self-inventory. Mixed with stories that are darkly humorous and oftentimes painful, Tony also gives advice on how to make amends, rebuild family relationships, and develop healthy boundaries, both with others and yourself. Written with expertise from integrative therapist Tara Day, the book offers therapeutic insights and reframes addiction through a trauma-informed, psychological lens to explore the nature of addiction and the lifelong process of healing. This is recovery with all the mess left in. No twelve-step sainthood, no empty promises. Just the truth about what it takes to break cycles, build boundaries, and find your own version of happy ever after - even if you still think you don't deserve it. For anyone battling addiction, shame, or just the weight of their own story, Recover Me shows that recovery doesn't end, but deeper healing is always possible.

The first thing you'll learn in New Found Haven is mercy no longer exists. Showing mercy is a weakness, and weakness will get you killed.

The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it.
Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.

A Frida Kahlo painting, a scandal, and secrets that threaten to change the course of historyIn 1938, showgirl-turned-socialite Dorothy Hale falls from a Manhattan skyscraper. Her friend Clare Boothe Luce – writer, diplomat and rising political figure – commissions Frida Kahlo to paint a memorial portrait. Months later, reporting from Europe, Clare encounters the Duchess of Windsor in Paris and begins to question what really happened that night. In New York, Frida, estranged from Diego Rivera, wrestles with betrayal, ambition and the demands of her art. As she works on the painting that will become one of her most unsettling, she edges closer to the truth.

Az önmagadba vetett hit ereje
Mi történik akkor, amikor nincs senki, aki higgyen benned - csak te magad?
Az önmagadba vetett hit ereje - Amikor senki sem hisz benned egy mélyen személyes, igaz történetekre épülő könyv, amely azt vizsgálja, hogyan válhat az önmagunkba vetett hit életünk legfontosabb belső támaszává. Halasi Éva Thea saját életútján keresztül mesél azokról az időszakokról, amikor nem volt védőháló, nem volt biztos kapaszkodó, mégis újra és újra a belső hívásra hallgatva lépett tovább.
Egyedül megtett utazások, lehetetlennek tűnő szakmai és életbeli váltások, idegen országok, nyelvek és kultúrák tárulnak elénk - valamint az a folyamat, amikor az ember elveszíti, majd tudatosan újra felépíti az önmagába vetett hitét. A könyv nem kínál kész recepteket vagy hangzatos ígéreteket, helyette őszinte felismeréseket, megélt tapasztalatokat és csendes, mély erejű tanulságokat ad át.
Ez a kötet többek között azokhoz szól, akik életük fordulópontján állnak, akik egyedül érzik magukat az útjukon, vagy szeretnének visszatalálni belső stabilitásukhoz. Finom emlékeztető arra, hogy nem a körülményeink határoznak meg bennünket.
Etika mezikulturního a mezináboženského dialogu
Lidské jednání je spoluutvářeno teoretickými koncepty a názorovým systémem, který stojí v pozadí konkrétních etických postojů. Studie se soustředí na problematiku mezikulturního a mezináboženského soužití a zkoumá, co v této oblasti může nabídnout teologie a její pohled na některé podstatné společenské otázky (obavy z proměn společnosti, kulturní a náboženské rozrůzněnosti, migrace). Autorka vymezuje v teologické perspektivě základní pojmy a paradigmata pro interpretaci vztahů mezi různými kulturami (kultura, náboženství, multikulturalita, interkulturalita, dialog) a zkoumá vliv klíčových kategorií křesťanské epistemologie (trojičně-christologická výpověď o transcendenci, práce s reciprocitou a diferencí ve vztahu, kategorie agapé a kenósis) na utváření etických pravidel mezikulturního a mezináboženského dialogu.

Jejím dočasným sousedem je ale miliardář Parker Warren, s nímž sice kdysi sdílela žhavou chvilku na schodišti, ale od té doby jí leží v žaludku. Nakonec spolu uzavřou oboustranně výhodnou dohodu: on potřebuje falešný vztah, aby působil solidněji během chystané akvizice, a ona potřebuje svou „zvrácenou múzu“, aby scénář zvládla dopsat. Je to celé jenom jako. Dokud najednou není…
