Conan: Blood of the Serpent
Mercenary, thief, soldier, usurper…
CONAN OF CIMMERIA
As sword for hire for a mercenary troop, Conan finds himself in Sukhmet, a filthy backwater town south of the River Styx considered “the arse-end of Stygia.” Serving in the company known as Zarallo’s Free Companions, he fights alongside soldiers of fortune from Zingara, Koth, Shem, and other lands—a hard-handed band of killers loyal to anyone who pays them well.
In a Sukhmet tavern he encounters one soldier in particular—Valeria of the Red Brotherhood, a veteran of freebooters with whom Conan also sailed, launching raids out of the Barachan Isles on the Western Sea. Valeria’s reputation is that of a deadly swordswoman, a notoriety she quickly proves to be accurate. When she runs afoul of an exiled Stygian noble, however, things take a deadly turn, embroiling them both in the schemes of a priest of the serpent god Set.
The first new Conan novel in more than a decade, Blood of the Serpent leads directly into one of Robert E. Howards’s most famous sword-and-sorcery adventures, “Red Nails.” As a bonus feature that story, as well, is included in this volume.

I Hate Men
The feminist book they tried to ban in France
'A delightful book' Roxane Gay
Women, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.)
But what if mistrusting men, disliking men - and yes, maybe even hating men - is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood?
In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry for women to find a greater love for each other - and themselves.
Momo Arashima Breaks the Mirror of the Sun
Discover the second book in a thrilling new fantasy series for readers aged 9+ - perfect for fans of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, Dragon Mountain and Mia and the Lightcasters!
Momo Arashima just wants an ordinary life. But she's about to become legendary . . .
After vanquishing a demon king, saving her mum, and reconnecting with her friend Danny, Momo ought to be living the life she's always wanted. But lately Danny has been ditching her to hang out with mean-girl Ryleigh - and groups of children have begun vanishing without a trace. So when a whole group from Ryleigh's exclusive birthday party becomes the latest to disappear, Momo and her friends (including Niko the fox) are left to fight a dangerous new enemy from Shinto legend.
This time they are up against Tamamo-no-mae - beautiful, bloodthirsty and manipulative, she's the ultimate mean girl of the Kami-verse. To defeat her, Momo must travel to the Sky Kingdom and steal the legendary Mirror of the Sun. But if she's going to survive monster ambushes, escape giant snakes, and pull off the heist of the millennium, Momo will have to find a way to work with her team (even Ryleigh), and grapple with the growing power that connects her with her storm god grandfather and her greatest foe - Izanami the Destroyer . . .
The Fetishist
A provocative, hilariously savage, and poignant novel by acclaimed author Katherine Min, to be published posthumously, about a daughter's revenge on the man whom she believes drove her mother to her death . . . and nothing goes as planned.
The rain has made everything cold and damp, and it's the perfect evening for Kyoko to exact her revenge. After years of rage and grief over her mother's death, Kyoko has decided who is to blame: a man named Daniel, a fellow violinist who had wooed her mother, Emi, during their time together in an orchestra, and then dropped her - driving her to her death. Kyoko follows the unsuspecting Daniel home and manages to get her rash kidnapping plot off the ground . . . and really, what could go wrong?
The Fetishist is the story of three people - Kyoko, a young singer in a punk band who cannot find enough ways to channel her angry sorrow; Daniel, a seemingly hapless man who finally faces the wreckage of his past; and Alma, the love of Daniel's life, long adored for her beauty and talent, but who spends her final days examining if she was ever, truly, loved. It's a beautiful, piercing and timely story that confronts race, ideals of femininity, complicity and visibility. Written and completed before the celebrated author's death in 2019, it's startlingly relevant and prescient, as wise and powerful as it is utterly moving.
The Scarlet Alchemist
You cannot create good without also creating evil.
Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she's trapped in her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal form of alchemy to keep food on the table - resurrecting the dead, for a price.
When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the best alchemists in the country in tasks she'll be lucky to survive, let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead has followed her, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help, suspecting a coming assassination attempt.
The more Zilan succeeds in her alchemy, the more she gets caught in the dangerous political games of the royal family. There are monsters lurking within the palace walls, and it's only a matter of time before they - and secrets of Zilan's past - catch up with her.
A dark YA fantasy duology set in an alternate Tang Dynasty China, where alchemy has led to income inequality as the rich eat gold to achieve eternal youth, and a poor biracial girl with the ability to raise the dead gets caught up in the dangerous political games of the royal family.
Sky Above Kharkiv
When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Serhiy Zhadan took to social media to coordinate a network of resistance workers and send messages of courage to his fellow Ukrainians. What began as a local organizing effort exploded onto the international stage as readers around the globe looked to Zhadan as a key eyewitness documenting Russian atrocities.
In this powerful record of the war’s harrowing first four months, Zhadan works day and night in Kharkiv to evacuate children and the elderly from suburbs that have come under fire. He sends lists of life-saving medications to the West in the hopes of procuring them for civilians, coordinates food deliveries, collects money for military equipment, and organizes concerts. He shares photographs of the open sky?grateful for every pause in the shelling?and captures images of beloved institutions reduced to rubble. We’ll restore everything. We’ll rebuild everything, he writes.
As the days pass, the city empties. Friends are killed. And when images of the Bucha massacre are released, Zhadan’s own voice falters: I’m speechless. Hang in there, my friends. Tomorrow, we’ll wake up one day closer to our victory. An intimate work of witness literature, this book is at once the testimony of one man entering a new reality and the story of a society fighting for the right to exist.
The Stone Age
On 12 July 1962, the Rollin' Stones performed their first-ever gig at London's Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a 'g' was added, a spark was lit and their destiny was sealed. No going back.
These five white British kids set out to play the music of black America. They honed a style that bled bluesy undertones into dark insinuations of women, sex and drugs. Denounced as 'corruptors of youth' and 'messengers of the devil', they created some of the most thrilling music ever recorded.
Now, their sound and attitude seem louder and more influential than ever. Elvis is dead and the Beatles are over, but Jagger and Richards bestride the world. The Stones may be gathering moss, but on they roll.
Yet how did the ultimate anti-establishment misfits become the global brand we know today? Who were the casualties, and what are the forgotten legacies? Can the artist ever be truly divisible from the art?
Lesley-Ann Jones's new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut years and beyond into rock's ongoing reckoning . . . where the Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage against which they have always rebelled.
Good, bad and often ugly, here are the Rolling Stones as never before.
Széchenyi összeomlása
A „legnagyobb magyar” 1848-ban miniszteri tárcát vállalt Kossuth kormányában, s egészen idegösszeomlásáig aktív részese volt a forradalmi idők kormányzati politikájának. Német nyelvű naplója napról-napra követi az eseményeket, kommentálva azokat, kibővítve a szerző történetfilozófiai reflexióival.

A fény fiai
1778-ban egy kis bajor városkában különös levél akad Wilhelm Koch detektív kezébe. Titokzatos aláírója, egy bizonyos Spartacus gyűlölettel és keserűséggel teli hangon beszél a társadalmi igazságtalanságokról és a társadalmi rend lerombolását sürgeti. Koch élete legrejtélyesebb ügyével szembesül, nyomozásában segítségül hívja Lebendig professzort, a grafológus tudóst, majd ketten erednek egy titokzatos összeesküvés nyomába. A szálak a szabadkőműves-páholyokba, az Illuminátusok rendjéhez vezetnek, akik nem riadnak vissza sátánista mágiától, gyilkosságoktól a történelmet felforgató tervük végrehajtása érdekében. Pár évvel később, 1793-ban egy párizsi téren a guillotine elválasztja XVI. Lajos koronás fejét a testétől... Vajon mi köze a két eseménynek egymáshoz? Kiderül César Vidal lélegzetelállítóan izgalmas regényéből, amelyben a fikció szövi a történelmi valóságot nem is mindig nélkülöző hálót. Mert A fény fiai ügyesen egyensúlyoz kaland és valóság között, a gyanútlan olvasó pedig egy remek detektívregényt tart a kezében, amelyben ha nem is győz a végső igazság, két örökbecsű emberi érték nem pusztul el: a barátság és a becsület.
A titokzatos fojtogatók
Ki ne hallott volna már a legendás amerikai detektívregényhõsrõl, Nick Carterrõl? A híres nyomozó kalandjain annak idején százezrek izgulhattak. Hosszú idõ után most magyarul is újra olvashatjuk a nagy detektív bravúros nyomozásait. Nick Cartert egy szörnyû bûnténysorozat kinyozására kérik föl, egy különleges szerkezettel jómódú polgárokat fojtanak meg, majd elveszik értéktárgyaikat. A detektív természetesen leleplezi a bandát. A második történetben kegyetlen bankrablók után folyik a hajsza, amelynek során a mester kis híján ott hagyja a fogát. A harmadikban titkos iratok tûnnek el egy bank széfjébõl, és egy gátlástalan zsaroló is nehezíti Nick Carter dolgát.

Csillámszárny Akadémia: Karácsonyi tündér
Hirtelen éles hang hasított a levegőbe, akár egy távoli ostorcsattanás. A két tündér megdermedt. Csilli és Bimi, a két kis tündérlány alig mer hinni a szemének: egy ember bukkan fel az erdejükben, és épp egy fiatal fenyőfát akar kivágni! Csilli és Bimi oly nagy haragra gerjed, hogy odaröppennek az emberhez, és megpróbálják megakadályozni a szándékában. Ám Csilli reménytelenül belegabalyodik az ágakba, és képtelen elmenekülni. Halálra rémül. Vaj hová hurcolják a fát? És hogyan fog onnan ő hazajutni? E fergeteges ünnepi kaland során Csilli, a tündérlány megtanulja, miben is áll valójában a karácsony igaz varázsa.
Sok hűhó Emmiért
"Akivel Emmi megtörtént, utólag se talál magyarázatot ? akár az ember, aki a fejére esett. Emmi lop, csal, bánt, komisz és hazudik és jó vele lenni. És mégis, Emmi itt van a nyakunkon a sok más baj mellett, amirõl jobb nem beszélni ? itt van mindig, mint ráadás, vagy talán minden baj eredõ oka. És veszekszünk vele ebédnél, reggel és este, a hálószobában, utcán és tribünökön, mint az a két légy, amely ugyanabban a levesben fuldokolt, mert ahelyett, hogy magába szállt volna, a levesbe szállt. Szeretni annyit tesz, mint lehetetlent kívánni felebarátunktól. És nem szeretni annyi, mint lehetetlent kívánni önmagunktól."
