Biomanželka
Nové vydání románu Michala Viewegha, který patří k jeho nejúspěšnějším knihám posledních let. Sarkastický příběh vyprávěný pohledem přemoudřelé duly, žijící v domácnosti nebohého spisovatele. „Od začátku jsem přesvědčena, že Mojmírovo manželství s Hedvikou je moderní soft verzí pradávného příběhu o Modrovousovi, který vraždí své ženy. Jistě jej znáte: nezkušená kráska se provdá za chlípné bohaté monstrum, které jí naoko poskytuje svobodu, ale ve skutečnosti zabíjí její přirozenou krásu, talent a nespoutanost." Dula je zprvu jen průvodkyní manželčiným těhotenstvím a porodem. Svou rodičku však neopouští ani poté, takže následujících sedm let s Hedvikou a jejím manželem bydlí - to je výchozí situace humoristického románu. "Zdánlivě humoristického," upřesňuje autor. "A nemohu bohužel popřít, že je to román částečně autobiografický."
The Golden Enclaves
Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the Sunday Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.
The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out - not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way.
But that impossible dream has somehow come true for El and her classmates. And what's more, she didn't even have to become the monstrous dark witch she's prophesised to become to make it happen. Instead of killing enclavers, she saved them, and now the world is safe for all wizards. Peace and harmony have enveloped all the enclaves of the world.
Just kidding.
Instead, someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in El's stead, and everyone she saved is at risk again with a full-scale enclave war on the horizon. And so, the first thing El needs to do after miraculously escaping the Scholomance, is to turn straight around and find a way back in.

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.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone
Errand requiring immediate attention. Come.
The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. 'He never says please', she sighed, but she gathered up her things.
When Brimstone called, she always came.
In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she's a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. Raised half in our world, half in 'Elsewhere', she has never understood Brimstone's dark work - buying teeth from hunters and murderers - nor how she came into his keeping. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole.
Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought.

The Sinister Booksellers of Bath
There is often trouble of a mythical sort in Bath. The booksellers who police the Old World keep a careful watch there, particularly on the entity who inhabits the ancient hot spring. Yet this time it is not from Sulis Minerva that trouble starts. It comes from the discovery of a sorcerous map, leading left-handed bookseller Merlin into great danger. A desperate rescue is attempted by his sister the right-handed bookseller Vivien and their friend, art student Susan Arkshaw, who is still struggling to deal with her own recently discovered magical heritage.
The map takes the trio to a place separated from this world, maintained by deadly sorcery performed by an Ancient Sovereign and guarded by monstrous living statues of Purbeck marble. But this is only the beginning, as the booksellers investigate centuries of disappearances and deaths and try to unravel the secrets of the murderous Lady of Stone, a serial killer of awesome powers.
If they do not stop her, she will soon kill again. And this time, her target is not an ordinary mortal.
A wintry return to the somewhat alternate 1980s England of The Left-Handed Booksellers of London.

Útěk z Výhně 4: Město strachu
Už nejsem uvězněný v temnotě. Ale temnota je pořád uvězněná ve mně. Dokázali jsme to. Prolomili jsme brány a unikli z Výhně. Jsme venku, ale nejsme volní. Ještě ne. Celé město je uzavřené – silnice jsou zablokované a policie prohledává všechny budovy. A ještě horší je, že nás pronásledují bestie, jejichž zběsilost si nikdo nedovede ani představit. Pekelná armáda vyslaná samotným Alfredem Furnacem.
Zuří válka, v níž se Furnace snaží srazit svět na kolena. Stále v sobě cítím správcův jed. Je to jediná věc, která mě drží naživu, jenže zároveň mě mění v jednoho z nich, v monstrum. Netuším, jak dlouho tomu ještě dokážu vzdorovat, než mě definitivně ovládne zuřivost a běs.
Jestli brzo nenajdu nějaký lék, budu to já, kdo bude tohle město trhat na kusy a hodovat na krvi. Jestli chci být někdy opravdu volný, musím se vydat do samého srdce temnoty. Musím najít Alfreda Furnace dřív, než on najde mě. Dostali jsme se ven, ale všechny ty hrůzy nás následovaly a brzo se celý svět stane naším vězením…
A Simple Soul
"A Simple Heart", also called Un cour simple or Le perroquet in French, is a story about a servant girl named Felicité. After her one and only love Théodore purportedly marries a well-to-do woman to avoid conscription, Felicité quits the farm she works on and heads for Pont-l'Éveque where she immediately picks up work in a widow's house as a servant. She is very loyal, and easily lends her affections to the two children of her mistress, Mme Aubain. She gives entirely to others, and although many take advantage of her she is unaffected. She is the epitome of a selfless character, and Flaubert shows how true altruism – the reality of being truly selfless – is the reward in itself. Whatever comes her way she is able to deal with it.
