Empire of Storms
Only the greatest sacrifice can turn the tide of war. War is brewing in the fifth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves increasingly at odds with those who don't. With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves.
But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, dark forces stand poised to claim her world. The only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may take more from Aelin than she has to give, a quest that forces her to choose what - and who -she's willing to sacrifice for the sake of peace. Kingdoms collide in this fifth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.

Študentka
Aj príťažlivosť máva odvrátenú stránku
Skúsená detektívka Frances „Frankie“ Loomisová vie, že existuje veľa spôsobov, ako sa zabiť. Taryn Moorová si vybrala skok zo štvrtého poschodia. Zdanlivo jasná samovražda, no Frankie na prípade čosi nesedí. Prečo by krásna a úspešná študentka prestížnej Bostonskej univerzity len tak ukončila svoj život? Vyšetrovanie ukáže, že nevinne vyzerajúca kráska mala aj temnú stránku, a tehotenstvo, ktoré odhalí autopsia, je len špičkou ľadovca jej komplikovaných vzťahov s mužmi. Bývalý priateľ, ktorého Taryn vytrvalo prenasledovala v utkvelej predstave, že sa k nej vráti, ženatý profesor, ktorý prekročil hranicu a podľahol jej príťažlivosti, prehliadaný študent, ktorý si z krásnej spolužiačky urobil modlu – všetci mali motív aj príležitosť. No bol by niektorý z nich schopný chladnokrvne vraždiť?

A vihar harcosai
Hosszú évtizedek véres háborúi után az angolszász földeken törékeny béke honol. Wessexet és a dánok uralma alól felszabadított Kelet-Angliát a néhai Alfréd király fia, Edward uralja, míg Merciát Alfréd lánya, Aethelflaed igazgatja. Az északi határokat a legnagyobb angolszász harcos és hadvezér, Bebbanburgi Uthred őrzi Chester erődítményéből, ám még ő sem készülhet fel az észak felől közelgő viharra...
Az írekkel szövetkező vikingek az éj leple alatt érkeznek. Az óriási had célja nem ismert: talán Chester ellen törnek, talán Mercia felprédálására készülnek, vagy Northumbria törvénytelen földjéből akarnak kikanyarítani maguknak egy új királyságot. Uthred azonban jól ismeri vezetőjüket, a rémisztő harcost és könyörtelen hadvezért, RagnallIverssont, hiszen a viking öccse az ő lányát vette feleségül.
A vér köteléke és az Aethelflaednek tett esküje között vergődő Uthred számára nincs könnyű megoldás. Egy dolog biztos: ez a vihar egész Englalandot felkavarja.
Bernard Cornwell monumentális Angolszász históriák-sorozata Anglia születése és a viking háborúk korába visz el minket. A könyvsorozatból a BBC és a Netflix készített nagy sikerű tévéadaptációt Az utolsó királyság címmel, amelyet Magyarországon forgattak.

Mr. Bridgerton csábítása - Colin története - A Bridgerton család 4.
Mindenki tudja, hogy Colin Bridgerton a legelbűvölőbb férfi egész Londonban.
Lady Whistledown társasági lapja, 1824. március
Penelope Featherington titokban imádta legjobb barátnője bátyját, már... nos, már egy örökkévalóságnak tűnő ideje. Miután fél életét azzal töltötte, hogy távolról csodálta Colin Bridgertont, azt hiszi, mindent tud róla, mígnem véletlenül megismeri a férfi legféltettebb titkát...
Colin Bridgertonnak elege van abból, hogy a társaság csak üresfejű szépfiúnak tartja, elege van az élet soha véget nem érő egyhangúságából és legfőképp abból, hogy mindenki folyton a hírhedt pletykalapszerző Lady Whistledownnal foglalkozik, aki soha egyetlen lapszámban sem hagyja őt említés nélkül. De amikor Colin hazatér külföldi útjáról Londonba, rájön, hogy életében már semmi sem ugyanaz, mint volt... különösen Penelope Featherington változott meg.
Záhada rozumu
Rozum není, čím se zdá být.
Říká se, že od zvířat nás odlišuje rozum. Ten se stejně jako ostatní charakteristiky našeho živočišného druhu vyvinul postupnou evolucí. Musíme si proto položit dvě zásadní otázky: Proč se rozum nevyvinul u zvířat? A proč se lidé tak často chovají úplně bláznivě?
Na tyto a další otázky se snaží odpovědět francouzští kognitivní vědci Hugo Mercier a Dan Sperber. Rozum podle nich nefunguje osamoceně a neslouží k hledání té nejlepší možné reakce v konkrétní situaci. Mnohem spíše pomáhá obhajovat naše instinktivní a podvědomá rozhodnutí před naším okolím — přesvědčuje je skrze racionální argumentaci a soudí argumenty ostatních. Najednou pak dávají smysl i ty největší slabiny rozumu: například proč vždy tíhneme k tomu, co známe, nebo proč tak často nedokážeme rozlišit mezi dobrou a špatnou myšlenkou.

But while they become entangled in the political webs of the khaganate, long-awaited answers slumber deep in the mountains, where warriors soar on legendary ruks.

Read King of Sloth now for a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine romance.
He'd never wanted anyone enough to chase them . . . until he met her.
Charming, easy-going, and rich beyond belief, Xavier Castillo has the world at his fingertips.
He also has no interest in taking over his family's empire (much to his father's chagrin), but that hasn't stopped women from throwing themselves at him . . . unless the woman in question is his publicist.
Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future - and the realization that the only person immune to his charms is the only one he truly wants.
***
Cool, intelligent, and ambitious, Sloane Kensington is a high-powered publicist who's used to dealing with difficult clients.
However, none infuriate - or tempt - her more than a certain billionaire heir, with his stupid dimples and laid-back attitude.
She may be forced to work with him, but she'll never fall for him . . . no matter how fast he makes her heart beat or how thoughtful he is beneath his party persona.
He's her client, and that's all he'll ever be. Right?
King of Sloth is a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine billionaire romance. It includes explicit content and profanity. Recommended for mature readers only.
Before We Say Goodbye
The million-copy bestselling series
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s poignant Before we say goodbye, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
The regulars at the magical Cafe Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend and extraordinary, secret menu time travel offering. Many patrons have reunited with old flames, made amends with estranged family, and visited loved ones. But the journey is not without risks and there are rules to follow. Travellers must have visited the cafe previously and most importantly, must return to the present in the time it takes for their coffee to go cold.
In the tradition of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors:
The husband with something important left to say
The woman who couldn’t bid her dog farewell
The woman who couldn’t answer a proposal
The daughter who drove her father away . . .
In the hauntingly beautiful Before we say goodbye, Kawaguchi invites us to join his characters as they embark on a journey to revisit one crucial moment in time.
Bojovníci dúhy
Stojí priateľstvo nad láskou? Znamenajú peniaze viac ako česť? Je možné zmeniť osud? A má vôbec zmysel hľadať životné šťastie?
Odpovede na tieto otázky sa snažia nájsť aj hlavní hrdinovia trilógie: mexické dievča Mercedes Perezová, bezhlavo sa púšťajúca do prenasledovania vrahov svojich príbuzných; farmársky syn Benjamin Sutter, opúšťajúci rodinu kvôli zlatej horúčke v Kalifornii; syn podnikateľa a špekulanta Markus Whitfield, vytrvalo pátrajúci po predkoch v rezerváciách; veterán Adam Burns, po návrate z občianskej vojny rozhodnutý zahlušiť toľko Indiánov, koľko bude možné, aby pomstil smrť ženy a synov.
Avšak, zdá sa, že Boh má pre každého nachystané iné poslanie.
Cesty Mercedes a Benjamina sa skrížia. Spolu sa vydávajú za zločincami, no netušia, že karta sa čoskoro obráti a sami sa stanú prenasledovanou korisťou aj zajatcami. Markus nachádza životnú lásku, ale predovšetkým spozná pravú tvár svojho adoptívneho otca. Adama náhoda spojí s Indiánmi a prostredníctvom ich strastiplnej životnej cesty prijme zmierenie s Bohom, ktorého po celý život odmietal. Osudy hlavných hrdinov sú osobité, zdanlivo spolu nesúvisiace. No iba na prvý pohľad. Ak sa vám bude zdať, že v prvej časti sa cesty hrdinov uzavreli, tá druhá vám ukáže, do akej miery ste sa zmýlili. Ale až v tretej časti autorka skutočne odkryje tajomstvá celého príbehu a ponúkne zavŕšenie obdivuhodných ľudských osudov.
BOJOVNÍCI DÚHY nie sú len dobrodružnou trilógiou inšpirovanou skutočnými dejinnými udalosťami severoamerického kontinentu rokov 1860 – 1912. Sú rozprávaním o zrade a pomste, viere a nádeji, krvi a tanci bojovníkov, ale najmä o ľudskom putovaní za láskou a obyčajným šťastím.
