The enthralling conclusion to the HALL OF SMOKE saga, perfect for fans of Ragnarök, Claire LeGrand, Margaret Owen, V. E. Schwab and Melissa Caruso.
Yske, daughter of the legendary warrior priestess Hessa, has dedicated her life to medicine and pacifism in service to Aita, the Great Healer. When her twin brother Berin, hungry for glory, gathers a party to investigate rumours of strange sightings in the Unmade - shadows in the darkness at the end of the world - Yske joins the mission, to keep him safe. Their journey east takes them through primal forests, walking paths last trod when gods were at war and ancient, powerful beasts were defeated and bound. And the closer they get to the Unmade, the more strange and terrible things haunt them from the shadows, corruptions in nature and monstrous creatures of moss and bone. Earning the respect of Berin and his warriors, Yske must forge a place for mercy and healing in a world of violence and sacrifice. She must survive murderous ambushes and brutal sieges and take her place at the centre of the oldest war of all. Thrust into a desperate conflict of survival, Yske and Berin will wage the final war with the gods - in the shadow of a vast and ancient tree, the fate of creation is about to be decided.

The Waking of Angantyr
The bondmaid Hervor is used to dead men whispering in her sleep. They’ve been doing it for as long as she can remember; it’s the living she has to watch out for. And when a new arrival at her holding triggers her into a berserker fury, she’s forced to flee the contract that enslaves her and into the arms of an uncertain future.
Unchained from the living, Hervor goes in search of a way to silence the dead, but it will take much more than grit and determination to make that happen. She’ll need the help of a ruthless Viking, an ailing jarl, a mad witch, and more—for the treachery that killed her ghosts isn’t nearly as dead as they are, and the path to peace must first traverse a river of blood.

Tajný pergamen: Pět tibetských technik zasvěcení
Když byla v roce 2003 pod rumunskou Sfingou v pohoří Bucegi objevena záhadná starověká komora, stala se pro Rumunsko a jeho nového partnera, Spojené státy, jejichž vyspělá technologie objev umožnila, státním tajemstvím nejvyššího stupně. Hlavním správcem této pozoruhodné komnaty plné holografické technologie je oddělení Nula, jednotka tajné služby, která se zodpovídá pouze rumunskému prezidentovi. Od té doby existuje neustálá a vytrvalá snaha některých rumunských a amerických frakcí podkopat autoritu oddělení Nula, aby získaly přístup k této technologii a měly ji pod kontrolou. Kniha Tajný pergamen - pět tibetských technik zasvěcení podrobně vypráví o politických intrikách, které stály v pozadí tohoto pozoruhodného nálezu, a také o tom, jak do těchto záležitostí zasahovaly vyšší duchovní síly. Jedna z nich souvisí s plánovaným nálezem starobylého tibetského rukopisu, který je v této knize odhalen a vysvětlen. Po přeložení starobylého rukopisu se objeví záhadná, anténě podobná struktura, která vznikla v důsledku tání ledu poblíž tajné americké základny v Antarktidě. Funguje jako jakýsi kosmický maják a má energetickou signaturu spojující jak Jupiterův měsíc Europu, tak oblast Transylvánie, kde byly v roce 1990 uprostřed rozsáhlých tunelů z ryzího zlata objeveny pozůstatky dávné civilizace. Tato lokalita, která je již dlouhou dobu předmětem utajení jako nejvyšší státní tajemství Rumunska, se stává centrem intrik v oddělení Nula a jeho okolí. Přestože Peter Moon do samotného podzemí nepronikne, navštíví řečenou oblast a zjistí, že tato starobylá civilizace je stále velmi živá a aktivní.

Medusa's Sisters
A vividly stunning reimagining of the myth of Medusa and the sisters who loved her, in this captivating, moving debut novel, perfect for fans of Stone Blind and Ariadne.
Even before they were transformed into Gorgons, Medusa and her sisters Stheno and Euryale were unique among immortals. Curious about mortals and their lives, Medusa and her sisters entered the human world in search of a place to belong, yet quickly found themselves at the perilous center of a dangerous Olympian rivalry and learned – too late – that a god's love is a violent one.
Forgotten by history and diminished by poets, the other two Gorgons have never been more than horrifying hags, damned and doomed. But they were sisters first, and their journey from seaborne origins to the outskirts of the Pantheon is a journey that rests, hidden, underneath their scales.
Monsters, but not monstrous, Stheno and Euryale will step into the light for the first time to tell the story of how all three sisters lived and were changed by each other, as they struggle against the inherent conflict between sisterhood and individuality, myth and truth, vengeance and peace.
