The Beasts We Bury - Bennünk élő bestiák
Ebben a királyságban még a szerelemnek is karmai vannak
Mancella Cliff trónörökös vérontás nélküli életre vágyik.
Ám gyerekként olyan varázserő birtokában bukkant elő a Lerombolt Citadellából, ami képessé teszi az állatok megidézésére – de csak miután megölte őket. Varázsereje állandóan azokra a borzalmakra
emlékezteti, amelyeket apja, a birodalom uralkodója kényszerített rá, hogy segítségével megerősítse hatalmukat.
Silver elbűvölő tolvaj, aki a túlélésért küzd egy olyan világban,
amelyre Mancella apjának uralkodása nyomta rá a bélyegét.
Amikor egy titokzatos jótevő megbízza őt a kastély kirablásával,
egy olyan nagyszabású melóval, amilyen csak egyszer adódik az életben,
Silver élvezi a lehetőséget – és a bosszút. A siker érdekében viszont
meg kell tévesztenie Mancellát, és ki kell vívnia a bizalmát.
Ahogy egyre fokozódik az ármánykodás és a vérontás,
Mancellának meg kell találnia a módját, hogyan mentse meg birodalmát
anélkül, hogy azzá a könyörtelen szörnyeteggé válna, amilyenné nevelték.
És amikor Silver rájön, hogy az ő tettei váltják ki azokat
az erőszakos cselekményeket, amelyeknek Mancella útját akarja állni,
választania kell titkos terve és a lány között, akibe beleszeretett…
Add át magad a történet sodrásának!
Lies We Tell About the Stars
Celeste Muldoon is alone when the Big One finally hits San Francisco, because, for the first time ever, her best friend, Nicky, stood her up after school. The two of them share a birthday, matching tattoos, an obsession with the upcoming Mars mission, dreams of MIT, and pretty much everything else. So why didn’t he meet her the way they’d planned?
The earthquake has a huge death toll, and Nicky and Celeste's parents fear the worst, but Celeste doesn’t buy it. Nicky spent their senior year selling essays to rich kids and was about to be exposed. Celeste knows he had a plan to vanish, reinvent himself and escape the disaster he’d created, but can’t convince anyone else that he could still be alive. Only Meo, a mysterious boy Nicky was somehow mixed up with, seems to believe, but she has every reason to distrust him – even if her heart races every time he shows up.
When Celeste finds Nicky’s notebook, it sends her and Meo on a quest across her broken city, up the coast through towns sheltering quake refugees, and eventually all the way to Florida, where the mission to Mars is about to lift off.
Is a River Alive
From celebrated writer Robert Macfarlane comes this brilliant, perspective-shifting new book – which answers a resounding yes to the question of its title.
At its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings – who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Is a River Alive? takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept.
The book flows first to northern Ecuador, where a miraculous cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened by goldmining.
Then, to the wounded rivers, creeks and lagoons of southern India, where a desperate battle to save the lives of these waterbodies is under way.
And finally, to north-eastern Quebec, where a spectacular wild river – the Mutehekau or Magpie – is being defended from death by damming in a river-rights campaign.
At once Macfarlane’s most personal and most political book to date, Is a River Alive? will open hearts, spark debates and lead us to the revelation that our fate flows with that of rivers – and always has
The Gap of Time

Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The Winter’s Tale vibrates with echoes of Shakespeare's original and tells a story of hearts broken and hearts healed, a story of revenge and forgiveness, a story that shows that whatever is lost shall be found.

Green and Deadly Things
A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFor fans of S.A. Chakraborty, Robin Hobb, and Martha Wells's Witch King, a page-turning standalone fantasy of necromancy and cursed magic from Jenn Lyons, the acclaimed author of The Ruin of Kings. 'Incredibly compelling magical ideas pairs with deeply terrifying monsters' – Daniel M. Ford, author of The Warden Centuries ago, necromancy almost destroyed the world. That’s how history remembers it. History remembers it wrong. Mathaiik has studied all his life to join the sacred order of the Idallik Knights, charged with defending their world from the forces of necromancy. Only vestiges of that cursed magic remain – nothing like the fabled days of the Grim Lords, the undead wizards who once nearly destroyed the world. Until monsters once more begin to wake. But something about them is even stranger: whole forests coming alive and devouring anyone so foolish as to trespass, formerly peaceful animals mutating into savage carnivores . . . the land itself has turned upon humanity and the Knights are powerless to stop it. It’s a good thing, then, that the Grim Lords were never truly destroyed. One of their number sleeps below the Knights' very fortress. And when an army of twisted tree monsters attacks the young initiates in his charge, Math decides to do the unthinkable: he wakes her up.
Steel River
Steve Nicholls makes an epic journey along the River Tees in north-east England, from the industrial complexes near its estuary to its source high in the Pennine Hills. The Tees estuary was where Steve’s life-long passion for nature was born, launching a long career as a documentary maker. As he travels the length of the eighty-mile river, he uses his years of travelling the world and his work on nature films to place the fauna and flora he encounters along the Tees in a wider context. He weaves together strands of personal experience, nature writing, botany, geology and history with an account of the impact of human industry and agriculture on the Tees and its valley. Steel River is thus a natural and social history of a remarkable river, but also presents the Tees as a universal exemplar of environmental degradation, allowing the author to reflect on – and offer prescriptions for – the broken state of the natural world after 10,000 years of human activity.
