Half-Blood - Félvérek - Szövetség 0.5 és 1.
Meg fogod ölni azokat, akiket szeretsz. A véredben van, ez a sorsod.
A tizenhét éves Alex és édesanyja három éve szökött el a Szövetségből. Itt tanulnak az istenek tisztavérű leszármazottai, az olyan félig halandókat pedig, mint Alex, arra képezik ki, hogy elpusztítsák a tisztákra veszélyes daimónokat. Amikor azonban Alex egy támadás után kénytelen visszatérni a Szövetségbe, két lehetőség áll előtte: vagy a tiszták szolgálója lesz, vagy kétszer olyan keményen edz, mint a többiek, hogy behozza a lemaradását.
Bár a második lehetőség tűnik a könnyebb útnak, a dolgok még bonyolultabbá válnak, amikor a tisztavérű Aiden önként jelentkezik arra, hogy felkészíti a lányt. Aiden ugyanis nemcsak vonzó, hanem tökéletesen megérti Alexet. De a szabályok szerint a tiszták és a félvérek között szigorúan tilos bármiféle kapcsolat.
Csakhogy nem az Aiden iránt érzett szerelme jelenti a legnagyobb problémát Alex számára – megtudja, hogy az anyja miért vitte el a Szövetségből, és a daimónok is egyre közelebb kerülnek hozzá. Ha életben akar maradni, fel kell vennie a harcot… Még akkor is, ha ezzel önhibáján kívül mások halálát okozza majd.
A kötet tartalmazza a Daimón előzménytörténetként szolgáló kisregényt is, ami minden eseményt elindított!
Tedd teljessé az élményt!

Delusions of Paradise
When Maiwand Banayee was 16, he wanted to become a suicide bomber for the Taliban. In this inspiring tale of survival and self-discovery, the reader will follow Maiwand's journey down a dark path and his ultimate redemption. Growing up in Kabul amid the Afghan wars, he witnessed atrocities that no child should ever see - rotting corpses, starving families, a neighbourhood torn apart. He escaped to a refugee camp in Pakistan, where religious militants began the gradual grooming of Maiwand and other Afghan boys. These confused and traumatised children were indoctrinated, radicalised and prepared to die in the name of a religious war. But Maiwand escaped this life. Fleeing Afghanistan, he had a life-altering crisis of faith, confidence and meaning, finding new purpose and rebuilding himself. Maiwand taught himself how to read and write in English, and here tells his astonishing story in crystalline prose. Delusions of Paradise offers a powerful warning about the dangers of radical religion, and is a stunning celebration of self-determination and redemption from an important new voice. AUTHOR: Maiwand Banayee was born in in Kabul at the onset of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. By the time he was twelve the country was engulfed in civil war and he fled to a refugee camp, where he enrolled in a madrassa and joined the Taliban. At 22 he rejected Islamic extremism and sought asylum in the UK, eventually living in Ireland before returning to England. He has been published in Stinging Fly and War, Literature & the Arts: An International Journal of the Humanities. This is his first book.

Portrait in Sepia
‘If you were thrilled by The House of the Spirits, you'll love this’ Marie ClaireAs a young girl, Aurora del Valle suffered a brutal trauma that erased the first five years of her life from her mind. Raised by her ambitious grandmother, she grows up with privilege, comfort and everything she could ask for.

When she finds herself alone at the end of an unhappy love affair, she decides to explore the mystery of her past, to discover what had such a devastating effect on her young life all those years ago.

Sharp Practice
A dark Scottish legal thriller featuring a defence lawyer caught between violent crime, political power, and a case that refuses to stay contained. If there were no bad people, there’d be no good lawyers. A missing baby. A doctor facing ruin. A drug dealer accused of murder. Defence lawyer Robbie Munro is dragged into all three and quickly realises that everything is not quite what it seems. As Robbie pushes for answers, evidence vanishes, stories shift, and cases that should have nothing in common start to overlap. Soon he is drawn into a net of deceit that reaches far beyond the courtroom. And as it tightens, it’s clear events are being steered from the shadows. With his ex-cop father causing chaos, an old flame back in his life, and pressure mounting from every direction, Robbie is forced to make a call: protect himself or keep digging. Because this time, the truth isn’t just hard to prove—it’s dangerous to uncover. Sharp Practice is Book 3 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Best Defence Series: ?

Nemesis Mine
Once upon a time there lived the (annoyingly) perfect hero Maximillian - a champion with a blinding smile, muscles sculpted by the gods, and an infuriating dedication to all things noble and good.
But this isn't his story. Good is boring. Honour is overrated.
This is the story of Cyrus, the kingdom's most feared wrongdoer. Handsome, dastardly, and (still relatively) young, Cyrus lives for villainy.
But even Cyrus has to admit, keeping up a fearsome image is a lot of work. So, when that golden boy Maximillian offers a deal to fake a rivalry, Cyrus can't resist. A few staged battles, some public drama - it's the perfect way to boost both their reputations. Sure, it means spending more time with his so-called 'enemy', but how hard could that be?
Get to know him. Fight him. Maybe fall for him?
Nope, that wasn't supposed to happen.

Twenty Minutes of Silence
In a family home in the north of France, a crime has been committed. But a crime of what order? Who exactly is the victim and who, if anyone, is the criminal? In Twenty Minutes of Silence, Hélene Bessette unleashes a polyphonic investigation, multiplying perspectives, contradictions, questions and doubts. Everything in this high-octane drama is subject to change, including the lighting and the basic facts of the case. Composed in her signature poetic prose style, Bessette’s novella builds a world punctured by startling disruptions and unexpected shifts, and in doing so destroys and remakes the crime novel, creating a form wholly new. Devastating and exuberant, Twenty Minutes of Silence is a vital interrogation of the powerlessness of childhood, the compromises of adulthood, and the conventions of the novel itself.
