Nádej sa rodí v popole
Z Dvanástky sa stala plnohodnotná lovkyňa s menom hodným jej ohnivých schopností: Fénix. S novým postavením však prichádzajú aj nové povinnosti. Keď o pomoc požiada dávno stratený klan čarodejníc, je jasné, že Fénixin novoobjavený oheň je ich jedinou nádejou.
S priateľmi sa musia vydať na sever, do Ľadovej záhrady, domova čarodejníc, aby sa postavili tajomnej temnote, ktorá každým dňom silnie a ktoá by mohla zničiť svet. Nájde v sebe Fénix silu zastaviť temnotu?

Lightbringer
The incredible conclusion to the Empirium Trilogy that started with the instant New York Times bestsellers Furyborn and Kingsbane! This series is perfect for those looking for books for teen girls and is also one of the best fantasy series for adults and teens!
Two queens, separated by a thousand years must face their ultimate destinies.
Queen Rielle, pushed away from everything she loves, turns to Corien and his promises of glory. Meanwhile, whispers from the empirium slowly drive her mad, urging her to open the Gate. Separated from Audric and Ludivine, she embraces the role of Blood Queen and her place by Corien's side, determined to become the monster the world believes her to be.
In the future, Eliana arrives in the Empire's capital as a broken shell of herself. Betrayed and abandoned, she fights to keep her power at bay-and away from Corien, who will stop at nothing to travel back in time to Rielle, even if that means destroying her daughter.
But when the mysterious Prophet reveals themselves at last, everything changes, giving Rielle and Eliana a second chance for salvation-or the destruction their world has been dreading.
An epic fantasy with female protagonist, the Empirium Trilogy has captured the hearts of many and Lightbringer concludes this beloved teen fantasy series.
A Crown of Ivy and Glass
New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn, Claire Legrand, makes her stunning adult debut with A Crown of Ivy and Glass, a lush, sweeping fantasy-romance series starter that's perfect for fans of Bridgerton and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
Lady Gemma Ashbourne seemingly has it all. She's young, gorgeous, and rich. Her family was Anointed by the gods, blessed with incredible abilities. But underneath her glittering façade, Gemma is deeply sad. Years ago, her sister Mara was taken to the Middlemist to guard against treacherous magic. Her mother abandoned the family. Her father and eldest sister, Farrin-embroiled in a deadly blood feud with the mysterious Bask family-often forget Gemma exists.
Worst of all, Gemma is the only Ashbourne to possess no magic. Instead, her body fights it like poison. Constantly ill, aching with loneliness, Gemma craves love and yearns to belong.
Then she meets the devastatingly handsome Talan d'Astier. His family destroyed themselves, seduced by a demon, and Talan, the only survivor, is determined to redeem their honor. Intrigued and enchanted, Gemma proposes a bargain: She'll help Talan navigate high society if he helps her destroy the Basks. According to popular legend, a demon called The Man With the Three-Eyed Crown is behind the families' blood feud-slay the demon, end the feud.
But attacks on the Middlemist are increasing. The plot against the Basks quickly spirals out of control. And something immense and terrifying is awakening in Gemma, drawing her inexorably toward Talan and an all-consuming passion that could destroy her-or show her the true strength of her power at last.
Dějiny české detektivky
Detektivka byla po celé dvacáté století nejoblíbenějším oddechovým žánrem českých čtenářů a její popularita neklesá ani v současnosti. Čeští literární detektivové se přitom dost liší od anglosaských suverénů: bývají nenápadní, skromní, neohromují okolí svými dedukcemi ani tvrdými pěstmi či přesnou muškou. Typické je pro ně ironizování, parodování a obecně podvracení autority takzvaného velkého detektiva.
Mnohdy jejich příběhy psali uznávaní spisovatelé, knížka předních znalců však představuje i málo prozkoumané a temné uličky detektivní literatury. První podrobné shrnutí dějin kriminálního žánru v českých zemích ukazuje, kdy se poprvé objevil český detektivní román, kde má česká detektivka kořeny nebo jak se za poslední století vyvíjela. V monografii, která se čte jedním dechem jako detektivka, se potkávají Emil Vachek, Edgar Collins, Eduard Fiker, Josef Škvorecký, Hana Prošková, Václav Erben, Jaroslav Velinský, Pavel Frýbort, Michal Sýkora, Michaela Klevisová a další.
Dějiny české detektivky
Přestože detektivka byla po celé dvacáté století nejoblíbenějším oddechovým žánrem českých čtenářů, až nyní vychází její základní přehled. Kniha Dějiny české detektivky od Michala Jareše a Pavla Mandyse například odhaluje, proč se ve 20. a 30. letech psaly příběhy výhradně z Anglie či Spojených států, že dobré a čtivé detektivky vznikly i v době protektorátu, že publikum se opakovaně zdráhalo přijmout policistu jako bezvýhradně kladného hrdinu nebo jak skandinávské thrillery ovlivnily moderní české spisovatele a spisovatelky.
Autoři vypátrali, kdy se poprvé objevil český detektivní román, kde má česká detektivka kořeny nebo jak se za poslední století vyvíjela. Zároveň provází různými podobami žánru, jako jsou kriminální próza, noir, zlodějské romány, whodunitky, policejní romány nebo drsná škola spojená především s americkými zachmuřenými hrdiny. Čeští literární detektivové se přitom dost liší od anglosaských suverénů: Bývají nenápadní, skromní, neohromují okolí svými dedukcemi ani tvrdými pěstmi či přesnou muškou. Libují si spíš v ironizování, parodii a podvracení autority

Beastlands: Race to Frostfall Mountain
BEFORE THERE WERE PEOPLE, THERE WERE BEASTS . . .
The island of Ramoa was once luscious and populated with mighty beasts. Now though, it is home to barren and tamed cities, where nature is locked out and trouble is brewing.
When Kayla's beloved animal companion, a rare winged pangron, is stolen, she's determined to get him back. But to do so, she'll have to leave her city and journey into the wild and forbidden Beastlands.
There, she meets Rustus, an exiled young warrior, and Alethea, a healer desperately seeking a cure for a mysterious disease. As their quests unite them, they'll adventure across the lands they know so little about, leading them to discoveries both great and terrifying. Not least that the beasts they've always been taught to fear might not be so terrifying after all...
The first instalment in an epic new fantasy adventure series for readers of DRAGON REALM, FIREBORN and SKANDAR AND THE UNICORN THIEF.
The Never Tilting World: 1
A world split between day and night. Two sisters who must unite it. The author of The Bone Witch kicks off an epic YA fantasy duology perfect for fans of Furyborn.
Generations of twin goddesses have long ruled Aeon-until one sister's betrayal split their world in two. A Great Abyss now divides two realms: one cloaked in eternal night, the other scorched beneath an ever-burning sun.
While one sister rules the frozen fortress of Aranth, her twin rules the sand-locked Golden City-each with a daughter by their side. Now those young goddesses must set out on separate, equally dangerous journeys in hopes of healing their broken world. No matter the sacrifice it demands.
Told from four interweaving perspectives, this sweeping epic fantasy packs elemental magic, star-crossed romance, and incredible landscapes into a spectacular adventure with the fierce sisterhood of Frozen and the breakneck action of Mad Max: Fury Road.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn comes a breathtaking and spine-tingling novel about three teenage girls who face off against an insidious monster that preys upon young women. Perfect for fans of Victoria Schwab and Stranger Things.

Marion: The newbie. Awkward and plain, steady and dependable. Weighed down by tragedy and hungry for love she's sure she'll never find.

Their stories come together on the island of Sawkill Rock, where gleaming horses graze in rolling pastures and cold waves crash against black cliffs. Where kids whisper the legend of an insidious monster at parties and around campfires. Where girls have been disappearing for decades, stolen away by a ravenous evil no one has dared to fight...until now.

Amšel
Kniha Romany Nejdlové o Franzi Kafkovi je dílem životního zaujetí; není literárněvědnou prací, nechce rozmnožovat bohatou odbornou literaturu o něm. Je čtivou a objevnou studií čtenářky, pro niž se Kafkův život i tvorba staly součástí vlastního života. Autorka shrnuje vše, co se o Kafkově životě a díle dočetla, a znovu to vše sama promýšlí. Činí tak zejména s ohledem na prostředí, v němž Kafka tvořil: na jeho rodinu, na nejbližší přátele a na ženy, které vstoupily do jeho života. Amšel je knihou shrnující fakta a přitom prací úvahovou, kladoucí otázky. Kafkovo dílo je pro autorku živou součástí dnešního světa, nikoli uzavřenou položkou v dějinách literatury a předmětem jejich studia. Romana Nejdlová promýšlí Kafkův život i tvorbu s naléhavostí, která je pro čtenáře nakažlivá: vyzývá je k tomu, aby Kafkovo dílo znovu sami četli a nově promýšleli i oni. Může tak posloužit i jako ideální úvod do četby Kafkova díla.
OBSAH: Úvodem * Dětství * Manželství Herrmanna Kafky a Julie Kafkové * Škola * Dělnická úrazová pojišťovna * Kafka a jeho vztah k českému anarchismu, Michal Mareš * Ženy, které vkročily do Kafkova života * Felice Bauerová * Julie Wohryzková * Milena Jesenská * Dora Diamantová * Nejsložitější přátelství.

The Girl Who Dreamed in Magic
From the acclaimed writer of Ship of Shadows comes a brand-new fantasy following the magical journey of one girl and her bear.
In a land of ice and stars, where constant troll invasions threaten to shake the moon from the sky, lives a girl with a magical destiny. A girl braver than a Viking, who will one day hold the fate of the North in her hands. That girl is Saga Thorolfsdottir.
But there's just one problem: ever since her parents died wielding powerful runes, Saga has been deathly afraid of magic. She would much rather stay within the safety of her village and play with her pet bear, Bjorn, than pursue any kind of magical destiny.
So when Saga accidentally disturbs a clan of trolls in the mountains, leading to her whole village being taken prisoner, she has to face her fears head on. No amount of rune magic will defeat these monsters, and Saga has only one option - to compete in the Fifth Winter contest, an incredible tournament where only the bravest may enter and only one champion can win. The prize? A horn of magic, powerful enough to rattle the gods themselves . . .
This is the perfect read for fans of Sophie Anderson's The Girl Who Speaks Bear, Abi Elphinstone and Fireborn!
