Siege and Storm - Ostrom és vihar
Az Igaz-tengeren át menekülő Alina, akit a Zónában meggyilkoltak szellemei kísértenek, új életet kezd Mallal egy ismeretlen földön, miközben igyekszik titokban tartani napidéző voltát. Ám sokáig nem hagyhatja maga mögött sem a múltját, sem a sorsát.
Az Éjúr rettenetes új hatalom birtokában hagyta el az Árnyzónát, és veszedelmes tervet sző, ami a végsőkig próbára teszi a természeti világ határait. Alina egy hírhedt kalóz segítségével visszatér s szeretett országba, hogy elszántan szembeszálljon a Ravkára törő erőkkel.
De ahogy a hatalma növekszik, Alina úgy süllyed egyre mélyebbre a tiltott mágiába és az Éjúr játszmájába, és távolodik el egyre jobban Maltól.
Választania kell hazája, a hatalom és a szerelem között, amiről mindig úgy hitte, az vezérli - különben azt kockáztatja, hogy mindent elveszít a közelgő viharban.

Because hand on heart, it is often difficult for us to make good and correct decisions because we ourselves have no idea what we want in the first place. The reasons for this are many and varied: we often lack the time to think and weigh things up. Not infrequently, we lack important information? And sometimes we are simply not in the right mood. But this indecisiveness can have a whole host of consequences - for example, when projects are delayed and goals are not achieved. But how do you make the right decision, even spontaneously under stress and time pressure? How do you obtain all the necessary information in the short time available in order to avoid wrong decisions? And how can you control intuitive decision-making processes so that they are actually optimal and fact-based? This book provides answers to all questions and helps to make noticeably better decisions.
We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.
Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process.

What About Men?
A frank, funny and galvanising exploration of masculinity, and a manifesto for male allyship, from million-copy bestseller and feminist powerhouse Caitlin Moran.
As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men.
So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other - but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster?
In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it.

Predloha rovnomenného filmu Lucu Guadagnina podľa scenára Davida Kajganicha. V hlavných úlohách Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet a Mark Rylance.
Maren Yearlyová nechce viac než ostatní: túži len po rodičovskej láske a domove. Ťaží ju však desivé tajomstvo. Robí zlé veci, a hoci sa za ne nenávidí, nedokáže si pomôcť.
Keď mala dva roky, mama jej našla v ústach ušný bubienok. Patril Mareninej opatrovateľke. Okolo Maren mizli ľudia a jej mame neostávalo nič iné, len zakaždým zbaliť skromný majetok do auta a utekať s ňou preč. Až do šestnástich Maren chránila pred svetom (alebo svet pred ňou?). Aj materinská láska má však svoje hranice...
Ak sa má Maren popasovať s vlastným osudom, potrebuje v prvom rade zistiť, kto alebo čo vlastne je. Preto sa vydáva hľadať svojho otca a na tejto démonickej ceste sa v jej živote po prvýkrát objavia nejasné vyhliadky na lásku.
