"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
Four Thousand Weeks
Battling an overfilled inbox?
Your ever-lengthening to-do lists?
Struggling against distraction?
What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?
If you live to 80, you'll have barely more than four thousand weeks on earth. How will you decide how to spend them?
Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time - and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny.
Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.

THE TIMES
The Four Pillars 4: Pillar of Ash
Yske, a healer and daughter of the warrior priestess Hessa, holds the balance of power in a world--shattering war of the gods, in this thrilling, mythical and emotional epic fantasy saga.
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.
A Bridgerton család 1: A herceg és én
A regény alapján készült sorozat 2020 decemberétől látható a Netflixen. Létezik-e nagyobb kihívás a londoni előkelő társaság ambiciózus anyái számára, mint egy nőtlen herceg, akihez lányukat örömest feleségül adnák? Minden jel arra mutat, hogy Simon Basset meg fogja kérni legjobb barátja húga, a bájos és okos Daphne Bridgerton kezét. Ami csak kettejük titka: házasságról szó sincs, csak így kívánják Simontól távol tartani a lányaikat férjhez adni kívánó, igen aktív társasági hölgyeket. Daphne pedig, mivel hercegi udvarló találta kívánatosnak, később alkalmas kérőket kaphat. Ám miközben Daphne sorra keringőzi Simonnal a bálokat, igen nehéz arra gondolnia, hogy az egész csak színlelés. A férfi ravaszkás mosolya talán, de tekintete felragyogása bizonyosan azt a hatást éri el, hogy Daphne beleszeret a szép hercegbe. Ez már egyáltalán nem színlelés. A lány a lehetetlennel próbálkozik: megpróbálja meggyőzni a gyönyörű szoknyavadászt, hogy okos kis tervüket…

Én és te
"Az emberek nagyon gyakran a megalkuvást hívják alkalmazkodásnak, mint ahogy a biztonságot hívják boldogságnak. Éppolyan önbecsapás mind a kettő."
Dr. Csernus Imre élő előadásai mindig népszerűek, ha azonban a párkapcsolatok adják a témát, kivétel nélkül zsúfolásig megtelik a terem. Miért okoz olyan gyakran problémát az, amire valamennyien vágyunk: hogy megtaláljuk és megőrizzük a szerelmet és a boldogságot? Ennek a kérdésnek ered a nyomába új könyvében a közismert pszichiáter.
A rövid választ már a könyv címe megadja. Nem véletlenül a "te és én" udvariassági sorrendje helyett Én és te, hiszen aki nem tudja elfogadni és szeretni önmagát, az mást sem képes igazán szeretni. A szerző ebből a tételből kiindulva halad végig a kapcsolatok mindannyiunk számára ismerős állomásain, a vonzalom ébredésétől az olyan gyakran bekövetkező szakításig, az első kamaszkori szárnypróbálgatásoktól a felnőttkori szerelmekig, a családalapítástól a gyerekek érkezésén át a válásig és az újrakezdésig, vagy adott esetben a kapcsolat sikeres megmentéséig.
Miért nem azonos a biztonság a boldogsággal? Miért olyan gyakori a társfüggőség? Hogyan öröklődnek a kapcsolati minták? Miért gond, ha egy párkapcsolatban két vámpír szívja egymás vérét? Miért nem érdemes tartanunk a kudarctól? Milyen intő jelek figyelmeztetnek arra, hogy hamarosan bekövetkezhet a szerelem halála? Miért nem jó ötlet együtt maradni a gyerekek miatt? Miért fontos meghúzni a határokat, betartani a megígért következményeket és vállalni a felelősséget a szavainkért és a tetteinkért? Miért fontos megtanulnunk, hogy az igazság félúton van? És szülőként miért kellene minderre időben megtanítani a gyerekeinket? Mire a könyv végére érünk, választ kapunk ezekre az életünket alapvetően meghatározó kérdésekre, és azt is megtanulhatjuk, hogyan tölthetjük fel nap mint nap a kapcsolatunk poharát.
Dr. Csernus Imre a munkája során mindig hangsúlyozza, ő csak javaslatokat tesz. Éppen ezért lesz az Én és te ha nem is kötelező, de ajánlott olvasmány mindenki számára, aki igazi szerelemre és hosszan tartó boldogságra vágyik.
"Ha szívvel-lélekkel állok az életemhez, akkor szívvel-lélekkel állok a másikhoz, a felnőttséghez, és a szexualitáshoz is. Ez a szívvel-lélekkel, mindent bele, felnőtt szemlélet az a mesterkulcs, amelyik minden zárat kinyit."

The Lost Country, Episode Four
First came the time-storm, which erased half the population. Then came the Dinosaur Apocalypse …
How did it all begin? Well, that depends on where you were and who you ask. In some places it started with the weather—which quickly became unstable and began behaving in impossible ways. In still others it started with the lights in the sky, which shifted and pulsed and could not be explained. Elsewhere it started with the disappearances: one here, a few there, but increasing in occurrence until fully three quarters of the population had vanished. Either way, there is one thing on which everyone agrees—it didn't take long for the prehistoric flora and fauna to start showing up (often appearing right where someone was standing, in which case the two were fused, spliced, amalgamated). It didn't take long for the great Time-displacement called the Flashback—which was brief but had aftershocks, like an earthquake—to change the face of the earth. Nor for the stories, some long and others short, some from before the maelstrom (and resulting societal collapse) and others after, to be recorded.
Welcome to the Lost Country.
From "The Devil's Triangle":
There were six of them, as I said—all of whom rushed us the instant our feet touched the ground. All of whom snarled and charged us like wolverines as we raised our weapons and fired—the flare gun cracking and hissing, blanching the scarlet haze (for the sun had painted everything red and gold), its projectile punching through one of the raptors’ chests and lighting it up so that its ribs were backlit briefly and I could see, if only for an instant, its burning, beating heart.
Yet still they came, another one leaping at me even as I dropped the gun—which clattered against the planks—as I dropped it and grabbed the thing by its neck—then brought the knife down with my other hand and stabbed it between the eyes.
“Run!” I shouted, even as Amanda shot another—her second—and then bolted toward the shore, drawing the others so that I was able to snatch up the flare gun and quickly reload it; so that I was able to pursue them and to shoot one in the back—while Amanda turned and took out the last of them (shooting it in the head so that the back of its skull exploded like a spaghetti dinner thrown against the wall; so that it collapsed, writhing, about 10 feet in front of her—whereupon she quickly approached it and shot it again, just to be sure).
And then she looked at me (as the dead and dying animals lay all around us) and I looked back: our chests heaving; our faces covered in sweat, our worn clothes bloody and disheveled, and I knew that she knew—which was that today we were the predators, the thing needing to be feared—the killers. And that neither of us needed to worry; not about food or other predators or mysterious lights in the sky or anything. Because we were the masters of our fate, we and no one else, not even God. And we were the master of the world’s fate, too.
At which she ran to me and we collided and I held her fast, there on the long jetty in the Atlantic Ocean (in the Bermuda Triangle), there beneath a day moon and the blood-red sky, in an instant in which it was good, so very good, not to be afraid, not to be alone. And as to what may or may not have happened in those breaths, those pulse points between that moment and the next—the next day, the next search, the next milestone; as to that, I offer only a quote from Gandhi: “Speak only if it improves upon the silence.”

The Poisoned Pen (EN)
"The Poisoned Pen" is a collection of twelve of Professor Kennedy's adventures. In these, Reeve uses the newest technologies of the early 1900s, which were nothing short of revolutionary for the time. The title story for example features the use of special inks, some appearing and others disappearing in sunlight, making the pursuit of a murderer incredibly difficult for the professor.
