Gild
'It's the arrogance of men to think so little of women. And it'll be their downfall too'
This is the story of King Midas.
Or that's what we're always told. The Golden King with his palace of riches and me, the girl he turned to gold.
Upon the snowy mountains in the Sixth Kingdom of Orea, I'm locked away in Highbell Castle. It's for my safety, I'm told. Away from the dangers of the world below. No one can get in.
Apart from him.
King Midas rescued me from the streets. He gave me food, shelter, and his heart. I promised to love him forever.
But when war comes to the kingdom, a deal is struck - and I am at the heart of the bargain.
Everything starts to change. My love for Midas challenged, my trust broken.
Because all that I knew about this man is wrong.
Suddenly, I'm sent to travel between kingdoms to a future I no longer understand and my spirit becomes truly tested.
I'm always told this is his tale.
But perhaps that is no longer the case. Perhaps. . . it's mine.
This is the story of Auren.

Apollos Arrow
Apollo's Arrow offers a riveting account of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic as it swept through American society in 2020, and of how the recovery will unfold in the coming years. Drawing on momentous (yet dimly remembered) historical epidemics, contemporary analyses, and cutting-edge research from a range of scientific disciplines, bestselling author, physician, sociologist, and public health expert Nicholas A. Christakis explores what it means to live in a time of plague-an experience that is paradoxically uncommon to the vast majority of humans who are alive, yet deeply fundamental to our species.
Unleashing new divisions in our society as well as opportunities for cooperation, this 21st-century pandemic has upended our lives in ways that will test, but not vanquish, our already frayed collective culture. Featuring new, provocative arguments and vivid examples ranging across medicine, history, sociology, epidemiology, data science, and genetics, Apollo's Arrow envisions what happens when the great force of a deadly germ meets the enduring reality of our evolved social nature.

Slovenská mafia: Príbehy písané krvou
Slovenská mafia je najkomplexnejším spracovaním dejín organizovaného zločinu na Slovensku od pádu komunizmu až po súčasnosť. Autor Ján Petrovič sa téme slovenskej mafie venuje od začiatku novinárskej kariéry. Pri príprave vyše 400-stranovej publikácie hovoril s mafiánmi, ktorí prežili vybavovanie si účtov v podsvetí, skončili za mrežami alebo sú dnes na slobode. Bol na miestach, kde dochádzalo k výbuchom a ďalším násilným trestným činom. Navštívil lokality, kde podsvetie pochovávalo biele kone a zbavovalo sa nepohodlných svedkov. Preštudoval desiatky súdnych spisov a svoje zistenia konzultoval s vyšetrovateľmi, právnikmi a prokurátormi. Bonusom knihy sú doteraz nezverejnené fotografie, mapa mafiánskych klanov, unikátne infografiky a register členov, obetí a bojovníkov proti organizovanému zločinu s vyše 600 položkami. Súčasťou knihy sú exkluzívne rozhovory s mužmi, ktorí stáli na opačných stranách bojiska - bossom bossov Mikulášom Černákom a policajným prezidentom Milanom Lučanským. Výťažok z predaja knihy pôjde na podporu nezávislej žurnalistiky.

Knife Of Dreams
The eleventh novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.
As the very fabric of reality wears thin, all portents indicate that Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, is imminent - and Rand al'Thor must ready himself to confront the Dark One. But Rand must first negotiate a truce with the Seanchan armies, as their forces increasingly sap his strength.
All is in flux as established powers falter . . . In Caemlyn, Elayne fights to gain the Lion Throne while trying to avert civil war and Egwene finds that even the White Tower is no longer a place of safety.
The winds of time have whirled into a storm, and Rand and his companions ride in the vortex. This small company must prevail against the trials of fate and fortune - or the Dark One will triumph and the world will be lost.
'Epic in every sense' Sunday Times
'With the Wheel of Time, Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal' New York Times

Heroes
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry gloriously retells the epic myths of the Greek heroes - which will be loved by young and old alike.
'This is a spirited retelling of stories that Fry clearly knows and loves' The Times
___________
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales.
Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera.
Filled with white-knuckle chases and battles, impossible puzzles and riddles, acts of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and selfless sacrifices, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.
Miss Bensons Beetle
It is 1950. In a devastating moment of clarity, Margery Benson abandons her dead-end job and advertises for an assistant to accompany her on an expedition. She is going to travel to the other side of the world to search for a beetle that may or may not exist.
Enid Pretty, in her unlikely pink travel suit, is not the companion Margery had in mind. And yet together they will be drawn into an adventure that will exceed every expectation. They will risk everything, break all the rules, and at the top of a red mountain, discover their best selves.
This is a story that is less about what can be found than the belief it might be found; it is an intoxicating adventure story but it is also about what it means to be a woman and a tender exploration of a friendship that defies all boundaries.
'A girl's own adventure...This is Rachel Joyce's best book yet ...Exciting, moving and full of unexpected turns.' THE TIMES
'Brilliant and elegant and wise...powerful and moving...I can't recommend it enough.' JOANNA CANNON

24 dní do Vianoc
Bláznivá i dojemná romantická komédia zabalená do kúzla Vianoc
Nina má dobre platené miesto, skvelé kolegyne a čoskoro ju povýšia. Práca ju však vôbec nenapĺňa. Má perspektívny vzťah so spoľahlivým mužom, ktorý ju má úprimne rád. Ona ho však nemiluje. Čaká ju predĺžený víkend v Paríži, na ktorý sa ani trochu neteší. A na dosah ruky má dokonalý byt, do ktorého sa netúži nasťahovať.
Nechtiac vypočutý rozhovor neznámej dvojice ju prinúti premýšľať nad vlastným životom. Vydesí ju, keď si uvedomí, že osoba, ktorou je dnes, sa na jej niekdajšie ja vlastne ani nepodobá, a rozhodne sa to zmeniť.
Do Vianoc zostáva dvadsaťštyri dní a Nina začne robiť všetko pre to, aby bola na Štedrý deň opäť sama sebou – vyťahuje zo skrine rodinných kostlivcov, plní si tajné túžby, priznáva boľavé pravdy, napráva staré chyby a uskutočňuje svoje sny. Aj tie pochabé.
A keďže vianočný čas je plný zázrakov, do cesty sa jej pripletie príťažlivý cudzinec, ktorý jej rozbúcha srdce, vždy keď sa naňho pozrie. Mohol by byť tým najkrajším vianočným darčekom, aký kedy dostala… ak bude dosť odvážny, aby si ju skrotil.

Saving Justice
'An absolutely fascinating read' - newsreader Emily Maitlis
James Comey, former FBI Director and Sunday Times number one bestselling author of A Higher Loyalty, uses his long career in federal law enforcement to explore issues of justice and fairness in the US justice system.
James Comey might best be known as the FBI director who Donald Trump fired in 2017, but he's had a long, varied career in the law and justice system. He knows better than most just what a force for good the US justice system can be, and how far afield it strayed during the Trump presidency.
In his much-anticipated follow-up to A Higher Loyalty, Comey uses anecdotes and lessons from his career to show how the federal justice system works. From prosecuting mobsters as an assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York in the 1980s to grappling with the legalities of anti-terrorism work as the deputy attorney general in the early 2000s to, of course, his tumultuous stint as FBI director beginning in 2013, Comey shows just how essential it is to pursue the primacy of truth for federal law enforcement.
Saving Justice is gracefully written and honestly told, a clarion call for a return to fairness and equity in the law.

Lacná kniha Rogue One - A Star Wars Story (-50%)
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Go beyond the film with a novelization featuring new scenes and expanded material. As the shadows of the Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy, so do deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space, a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. A weapon too terrifying to contemplate . . . and a threat that may be too great to overcome. If the worlds at the Empire's mercy stand any chance, it lies with an unlikely band of allies: Jyn Erso, a resourceful young woman seeking vengeance; Cassian Andor, a war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook, a defector from the Empire's military; Chirrut Imwe, a blind holy man and his crack-shot companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory--if only they can capture the plans to the Empire's new weapon. But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy--a monstrous world unto itself--darkens the skies. Waiting to herald the Empire's brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star. Praise for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story "One of the best movie adaptations yet."--Cinelinx "Rogue One bridged characters and elements of the prequels and original Star Wars trilogy in a visually stunning ride, but there are even more rich details hiding in the film's novelization, [which] reveals and expands with inner monologues and character insights, political knots, and nuance."--The Daily Dot "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story novelization deepens a tale of hope. . . . [Jyn Erso] proves to be even more fascinating here than she was in the movie."--New York Daily News
