A Touch of Darkness
From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth.
"Let me worship you," he said.
She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.
She answered, "Yes."
Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.
Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.
After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-a love that is both captivating and forbidden.
Artušův pád - The Fall of Arthur
Literární pastiš z Tolkienovy pozůstalosti. Jde bohužel o nedokončený text, ve kterém autor zpracoval klasickou artušovskou látku. Text k vydání připravil Christopher Tolkien a doplnil ho obsáhlým komentářem, v němž se věnuje básnickým i prozaickým zpracováním artušovské tematiky a srovnává je s otcovou verzí. Kniha dokládá Tolkienovu zálibu ve staroanglické poezii i možný pramen inspirace pro jeho slavné romány.
The Manor House Governess
A smart, eloquent ode to Jane Eyre with an irresistible queer hero at its heart.
Orphaned young and raised with chilly indifference at an all-boys boarding school, Bronte Ellis has grown up stifled by rigid rules and social "norms", forbidden from expressing his genuine gender identity. His beloved novels lend an escape, until a position as a live-in tutor provides him with a chance to leave St.Mary's behind. Greenwood Manor is the kind of elegant country house Bron has only read about, and amid lavish parties and cricket matches the Edwards family welcomes him into the household with true warmth. Mr Edwards and the young Ada, his pupil, accept without question that Bron's gender presentation is not traditionally masculine.
Only Darcy, the eldest son, seems uncomfortable with Bron - the two of them couldn't be more opposite. When a tragic fire blazes through the estate's idyllic peace, Bron begins to sense dark secrets smouldering beneath Greenwood Manor's surface. Channelling the heroines of Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen and other period classics, he begins to sift through the wreckage .Soon, he's not sure what to believe, especially with his increasing attraction to Darcy clouding his vision.
Deeply in conversation with the British classics, but with a warmth and wit uniquely its own, The Manor House Governess is a contemporary, queer homage to classic literature and the period drama; a joyous, uplifting contemporary story about finding yourself and a reminder that queer love can thrive in the present whilst embracing our literary past.

The Last Hours: Chain of Thorns
James and Cordelia must save London — and their marriage — in this thrilling and highly anticipated conclusion to The Last Hours series from the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Thorns is a Shadowhunters novel.
Cordelia Carstairs has lost everything that matters to her.
In only a few short weeks, she has seen her father murdered, her plans to become parabatai with her best friend, Lucie, destroyed, and her marriage to James Herondale crumble before her eyes. Even worse, she is now bound to an ancient demon, Lilith, stripping her of her power as a Shadowhunter.
After fleeing to Paris with Matthew Fairchild, Cordelia hopes to forget her sorrows in the city’s glittering nightlife. But reality intrudes when shocking news comes from home: Tatiana Blackthorn has escaped the Adamant Citadel, and London is under new threat by the Prince of Hell, Belial.
Cordelia returns to a London riven by chaos and dissent. The long-kept secret that Belial is James and Lucie’s grandfather has been revealed by an unexpected enemy, and the Herondales find themselves under suspicion of dealings with demons. Cordelia longs to protect James, but is torn between a love for James she has long believed hopeless, and the possibility of a new life with Matthew. Nor can her friends help — ripped apart by their own secrets, they seem destined to face what is coming alone.
For time is short, and Belial’s plan is about to crash into the Shadowhunters of London like a deadly wave, one that will separate Cordelia, Lucie, and the Merry Thieves from help of any kind. Left alone in a shadowy London, they must face Belial’s deadly army. If Cordelia and her friends are going to save their city — and their families — they will have to muster their courage, swallow their pride, and trust one another again. For if they fail, they may lose everything — even their souls.

World of Warcraft: Kletba worgenů
Kdysi mocné království Gilneas se ocitá v obležení zvenčí i zevnitř. Zatímco se podél jeho mohutné zdi shromažďují armády Opuštěných, dojde v hlavním městě k řadě brutálních vražd, které naznačují, že se mezi obyvateli skrývá daleko zlověstnější hrozba.
Na scénu přichází Halford Ramsey, proslulý královský vyšetřovatel, který se nezastaví před ničím, aby zdánlivě nepolapitelného vraha dopadl. Při rozkrývání případu se Halford ocitá v ohnisku zájmu skutečných pachatelů vražd: worgenů, prokletých vlčích lidí, známých pouze z legend, a tajuplného „Vlčího kultu“, který je uctívá. Ramsey je záhy zatažen do deset tisíc let starého eposu, ve kterém nechybí láska, tragédie ani zrada, a který se točí kolem války prastarých nočních elfů proti démonické Plamenné legii. Halford, postižen kletbou worgenů, musí zkrotit zvíře zuřící v jeho nitru, a jednou provždy učinit přítrž ďábelskému spiknutí, jež hrozí zničením celého Gilneasu.

Válka není složena jen z odletujících hlav – válku dělají lidé. A právě osudům rytířů Řádu Stříbrné ruky, který se rozpadá na Bělostný úsvit a Šarlatové křižáky, se věnuje kniha World of Wacraft: Ashbringer .
