Seed of War
Lies, suspicion, and a desperate trek.
In a world where no race trusts another, the shapeshifting jaguar Ludik became friends with the strangers who helped him save the world from feuding gods. Now a gilled translator, a fire mage, and the winged messenger of the Gods have come to his home for his long-delayed wedding.
But before Ludik and his beloved can pledge their love, an accidental death threatens their happiness. Bad enough that a Fox trespassed into Cat territory, worse that he picked a fight with a bigger Leopard, but the true disaster is the witness who is running home to report that the Cats murdered his kin.
In a mad race to keep the misguided Dog from starting a civil war, Ludik must follow the trail through hostile territory and turn a fierce Wolf into an ally. If he can’t root out the seeds of war before they sprout, how will he preserve the life of the woman he adores?
Seed of War is the 2nd novel in the Unexpected Heroes series, a secondary world fantasy with shifters, mermaids, and winged people. If you enjoy mystery, danger, and justice, you'll love Seed of War.

Blood of Troy
A year after saving the powers of Olympus by defeating Nyx, the Goddess of Darkness, Daphne is haunted by still-looming threats, her complicated feelings for the god Apollo, and the promise she made to the Olympian gods that she would help them again when they called upon her. When their command finally comes, it is deceptively simple: secure herself a spot as one of Queen Helen's guards.
A war is coming, and all of Sparta must be prepared.
In the midst of a treaty summit among the monarchs of Greece, Daphne and Helen uncover a plot of betrayal-and soon, a battle begins that leads to all-out war. As the kingdoms of Greece clash on the shores of Troy and the gods choose sides, Daphne must use her wits, her training, and her precarious relationship with Apollo to find a way to keep her queen safe, stop the war, and uncover the true reason the gods led her to Troy. But the gods are keeping more than one secret, and Daphne will be forced to decide how far she is willing to go to save those she loves-and whose side she's on in a war that is prophesized to be the downfall of her people.
Oblivion 3. - Feledés - keménykötés
Senki sem ér fel Daemon Blackhez.
Amikor elszántam magam arra, hogy bizonyítsam az érzéseimet, komolyan beszéltem.
Katy soha többé nem kételkedhet bennem - és most, hogy túljutottunk a zökkenőkön, újra és újra fellobbannak köztünk a lángok.
Csakhogy még én sem védhetem meg a családtagjaimat, ha eltökélik, hogy kiszabadítják a szeretteiket.
Mindazok után, amiken keresztülment, Katy sem ugyanaz már, mint azelőtt. Még mindig változik, és fogalma sincs, mi lesz a folyamat vége. Lépésről lépésre fedezzük fel az igazságot, és amikor szembekerülünk a hibridek vizsgálatára és kínzására kiépült titkos kormányzati szervezettel, ráébredünk, hogy nincsenek határok.
A halál a mindennapjaink része lett. Onnan kapunk segítséget, ahonnan a legkevésbé várnánk, és a barátainkról is kiderülhet, hogy halálos ellenségeink - de nem fordulunk vissza.
Akkor sem, ha az eredmény örökre összetöri a világunkat.
Egységben az erőnk - és ezt ők is tudják.
The Little Prince
Antoine de Saint-Exupery's timeless tale, reissued in a beautiful clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his plane vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. Nearly eighty years later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power.
The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. "In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey," the narrator recalls. "Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.

Hakon's Saga
All four books in Eric Schumacher's 'Hakon's Saga', a series of historical fiction set in medieval Scandinavia and Europe, now in one volume!
Mollebakken: Viking Age Norway’s greatest king, Harald Fairhair, has unified the northern districts into a kingdom, but as he ages and his body weakens, so too does his realm. To keep the kingdom from fracturing, Harald abdicates his High Seat to the one son he believes capable enough – and vicious enough – to rule: Erik Bloodaxe. But hatred between the brothers leads to an unavoidable confrontation on a rain-soaked hill called Mollebakken – a hill that will decide who will rule and who will die.
God's Hammer: It is 935 A.D. and the North is in turmoil. To solidify his claim to the throne, Erik Bloodaxe ruthlessly disposes of all claimants to his throne, save one: his youngest brother Hakon. Erik's surviving enemies send a ship to Wessex, where the Christian count of King Athelstan is raising Hakon. Unable to avoid his fate, he returns to the Viking North to face his brother and claim his birthright, only to discover that victory will demand sacrifices beyond his wildest nightmares.
Raven's Feast: The land-hungry Danes are pressing from the south to test Hakon before he can solidify his rule. In the east, the Uplanders are making their own plans to seize the throne. It does not help that Hakon is committed to his dream of Christianizing his people - a dream his countrymen do not share and will fight to resist. As his enemies move in and his realm begins to crumble, Hakon and his band of oath-sworn warriors must make their stand.
War King: A tempest is brewing in the North. The sons of Erik Bloodaxe have come to reclaim his former throne and avenge the wrong done to their father and their kin. With them marches an army of sword-Danes sent by the Danish King, Harald Bluetooth, whose desire to expand his realm is as powerful as the lust for vengeance that pulses in the veins of Erik’s brood. Like storm-driven waves, the opposing forces collide, and when they do, Hakon is left with no choice but to face the tempest and resist.

The Red Bird

Here, he trains under Ikada, the Warrior of the Red Bird and seeker of the Hidden Light. Asai will be the last Warrior, and unless he can succeed where all other Warriors have failed—to discover the Hidden Light—then his people will suffer a thousand years of misery. But when Sawako, a beautiful young woman, challenges him, Asai must choose between his heart, his people, and his destiny."I loved this tale. ... It has the feel of a myth or legend about a boy who finds that his destiny is closely entwined with the destiny of a people. But rather than repeat a tale we’ve all read before, the author has written something subtly new. … Honestly, I could have read it forever. The ending was that perfect combination of sadness and hope." —SF Crowsnest Review"A spellbinding piece of writing set in a Japan-that-never-was that is both well-plotted and elegantly paced" —Strange Horizons"A superbly told, involving, and brilliantly paced short story, complete with an ending made more tragic by its inevitability... Worth the price of the issue." —Tangent Online "A mini-epic about a young boy named Asai and the phoenix that saves him from death while his village is being raided... If you love Japanese and Samurai stories, this one will give you goose bumps." —Tangent Online"Powerful, moving and not quite predictable (A+)" —Fantasy Book Critic"A wonderfully recounted story, with an excellent pace and a perfect ending." —Bibliopolis

Illuminations
In his first-ever short story collection, which spans forty years of work and features many never-before-published pieces, international bestselling author and legendary creator of From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and other modern classics, Alan Moore, presents nine stories full of wonder and strangeness, each taking us deeper into the fantastical underside of reality.
In A Hypothetical Lizard, two concubines in a brothel for fantastical specialists fall in love, with tragic ramifications. In Not Even Legend, a paranormal study group is infiltrated by one of the otherworldly beings they seek to investigate. In Illuminations, a nostalgic older man decides to visit a seaside resort from his youth and finds the past all too close at hand. And in the monumental novella What We Can Know About Thunderman, which charts the surreal and Kafkaesque history of the comics industry over the last seventy-five years through several sometimes-naive and sometimes-maniacal people rising and falling on its career ladders, Moore reveals the dark, beating heart of the superhero business.
From ghosts and otherworldly creatures to theoretical Boltzmann brains fashioning the universe at the big bang, Illuminations is exactly that - a series of bright, startling tales from a contemporary legend that reveal the full power of imagination and magic.

Nočný bozk
Ďalšia kniha z Kenyonovej série o temných lovcoch prináša príbeh o nesmrteľných upíroch, ktorí chránia ľudstvo pred dajmonmi živiacimi sa ľudskými dušami.
Čo sa stane, ak spojíte nesmrteľného vikinského bojovníka, ktorého si po piatich minútach nikto nepamätá, princeznú na úteku, bojujúcu o holý život, a jedného rozhnevaného poloboha? Asi v takej situácii sa ocitol temný lovec Wulf Tryggvason.
Začalo sa to celkom nevinne. Raz v noci Wulf zachránil ženu, ktorá sa dostala do ťažkostí. Vzápätí sa otvorila brána pekla a vystúpili z nej nebezpeční upíri, dajmoni. Pod velením syna boha Apolóna chceli zrušiť kliatbu, ktorá ich väznila vo večnej temnote. Na vykúpenie potrebujú život Cassandry Petersovej. Ak sa tak stane a ona zomrie, zahynie všetko živé, slnko aj zem.
Oboch spojil osud a Wulf má za úlohu chrániť ľud, ktorý celé stáročia prenasledoval. Nedôverujú si, Cassandra jediná si však Wulfa pamätá. Jej sila a odvaha mu zasiahli srdce, o ktorom si myslel, že dávno zomrelo.
Pravá láska dokáže vykúpiť dušu temného lovca. Ale čo ak tá žena nie je skutočný človek?
Byla jsem madam Mao
Žádná žena v dějinách moderní Číny nezažila takový vzestup a tak prudký pád jako Ťiang Čching, manželka předsedy Maa, která za Kulturní revoluce způsobila smrt mnoha lidí, dostala se až na vrchol moci, ale závěr svého života strávila ve vězení. Anche
e Minová se však ve svém životopisném románu snaží dát "démonu s bílými kostmi", což byla přezdívka, kterou si madam Mao vysloužila během své hrůzovlády, lidskou tvář. S psychologickou pronikavostí vykresluje portrét složité osobnosti poháněné vášní
a ctižádostí. S citem pro detail líčí neradostné dětství krásné, tvrdohlavé dívky, snahu prosadit se u divadla a u filmu, její bouřlivá manželství a milostné aféry, rozvody a rozchody i osudové setkání s předsedou čínské komunistické strany. Tehdy ne
příliš úspěšná šanghajská herečka věřila, že získala svou životní roli, kterou bude hrát na jevišti dějin. Mao Ce-tungovo okouzlení však netrvalo dlouho - z hvězdy se stala odstrkovaná žena v domácnosti, pokořovaná manželem, který v soukromém životě
napodoboval zvyky dávných čínských císařů a brzy ztratil zájem jak o její tělo, tak o její politické rady, i jeho spolupracovníky, kteří jí nikdy nedůvěřovali kvůli její nepříliš jasné minulosti. A tak ženě, která vždycky toužila jen po obdivu, slávě
a lásce, nezbylo než trpělivě přežívat v Maově stínu a spřádat politické intriky, které ji nakrátko vynesly do světla reflektorů za Kulturní revoluce. Konečně se mohla pomstít všem, kdo jí kdy ukřivdili, konečně se mohla těšit ze své moci, konečně s
tála na vrcholu... a netušila, že stačí jediný chybný krok, a zřítí se do propasti.
Anchee Minová, fascinovaná touto na první pohled hluboce nesympatickou historickou postavou, poskládala z faktů, která jsou o madam Mao známá, fascinující, strhující
příběh o vášni, ctižádosti, krutosti, soupeření a boji o přežití, v němž plně ožívá jedna z nejvíc fascinujících žen dvacátého století.
