Clary Fray másra sem vágyik, csak hogy végre ismét normális életet élhessen. De vajon mi számít normálisnak, ha valaki démonokat pusztító Árnyvadász, az édesanyja varázslattal előidézett kómában fekszik, és egyszerre vérfarkasok, vámpírok meg tündérek nyüzsögnek körülötte?
Clary szívesen töltene több időt legjobb barátjával, Simonnal, csakhogy az Árnyvadászoktól nem szabadulhat - főleg nem jóképű, ámde bosszantó, újonnan megtalált bátyjától, Jace-től. Clary csakis úgy segíthet édesanyján, ha felkutatja a rossz útra tért Árnyvadászt, Valentine-t, aki talán őrült, bizonyosan gonosz - ráadásul az édesapja.
Amikor a Végzet Ereklyéi közül a másodikat is ellopják, a félelmetes Inkvizítor Jace-t gyanúsítja. Lehet, hogy a fiú tényleg elárul mindent, amiben hitt, és az apja mellé áll?
Cassandra Clare lendületes, sziporkázó és végtelenül lebilincselő regénye szórakoztató, vad utazásra visz. Azt fogod kívánni, bárcsak sose érnél az út végére.
I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This
Grief is universal, but it's also as unique to each of us as the person we've lost. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, lonely, unreasonable, there when we least expect it and seemingly never-ending. Wherever you are with your grief and whoever you're grieving for, I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is here to support you. To tell you, until you believe it, that things will get easier.
When bestselling writer Clare Mackintosh lost her five-week-old son, she searched for help in books. All of them wanted to tell her what she should be feeling and when she should be feeling it, but the truth - as she soon found out - is that there are no neat, labelled stages for grief, or crash grief-diets to relieve us of our pain. What we need when we're grieving is time and understanding. I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is the book she needed then.
With 17 short assurances that are full of compassion - drawn from Clare's experiences of losing her son and her father - it's something you can turn to when you can barely concentrate, when you're looking for solace, when you're looking for hope, when you simply need to throw something across the floor, and when you need somebody to assure you, and to keep assuring you: I Promise it Won't Always Hurt Like This.

Want Me
Tracy Clark-Flory grew up wedged between fizzy declarations of "girl power" and the sexualized mandates of pop culture. It was "broken glass ceilings" and Girls Gone Wild infomercials. With a vague aim toward sexual empowerment, she set out to become what men wanted—or, at least, understand it.
In her moving, fresh, and darkly humorous memoir, she shares the thrilling and heartbreaking events that led to discovering conflicting truths about her own desire, first as a woman coming of age and then as a veteran journalist covering the sex beat. Tracing her experiences on adult film sets, at fetish conventions, and during an orgasmic meditation retreat (to name just a few), Clark-Flory weaves in statistics and expert voices to reckon with our views on sexual freedom.
Want Me is about looking for love, sex, and power as a woman in a culture that is "freer" than ever, yet defined by unprecedented pressures and enduring constraints. This is a first-hand example of one woman who navigated the mixed messages of sexual expectation, only to discover the complexity of her own wants and our collective need to change the limitations of that journey.

The Future Is Greater
Success life coach Maxine Nwaneri shows women, no matter what age, how to escape the motherhood penalty, arrest ten time thieves, reduce family chaos and thrive in life.
A job? An obligation? A career? A choice? A penalty?
Well-intended workplace policies and initiatives have failed to successfully help mothers and mothers to be cope with work life balance. Countless women get “lost” in the juggling act of working motherhood that often leaves them guilty, unfulfilled and failing on all fronts.
Women do three times more unpaid work at home than their male partners. The pandemic amplified this and saw 1.5 billion children around the world homeschooled with mothers shouldering most of the weight around education and home care.
These pressures have led to one in three working mothers scaling back their careers or leaving the workforce entirely.
An issue governments and employers are failing to solve, The Future is Greater helps readers tap into the powerful, but less mentioned source of answers for this conundrum – mothers and women themselves. In Mother Maxine discusses the issue of motherhood penalty verses fatherhood premium, and how this affects so many women’s lives and decisions women make long before they ever have children.
Every woman faces different challenges, motivations, and dreams. Leading readers through a tried and tested ten step process involving amongst others the following tips:
• decide to make a change
• create a powerful and exciting vision for your life
• adopt the powerful C.R.I.S.I.S success plan created by Maxine
• build resilience and avoid comparison traps
• identify time wasters and identify thieves
Using client testimonials and a journey that took Maxine from homelessness, addiction, academic failure in her teens, to becoming an award-winning student and Cambridge graduate, Maxine illustrates that time for what may seem like the most important commitments is gained by taking time to care first for oneself.
