From USA Today Bestselling author KM Moronova comes a brand-new compelling and addictive dark romance in her Dark Forces world. Dark. Deadly.
Irresistible. Cameron Mortem has a problem—he can’t stop killing his partners. Officially labeled clinically insane, he’s also one of the most lethal assets in the Dark Forces, a brutal underground military operation built on obedience, survival, and silence.
But an experimental drug has fractured his control, making him a liability whenever someone else is on the field. As punishment, he’s thrown back into the Under Trials—a merciless boot camp designed to break the weak and sharpen the ruthless. His one directive? Don’t kill the new girl.
Emery Maves narrowly escapes a death sentence after her own brutal crimes, only to find herself forced into the same violent world. Assigned to Cameron, she’s expected to survive the Trials and her partner's unstable nature. But Emery quickly realizes there’s more to Cameron than bloodlust and body counts.
Beneath the madness lies a terrifying allure—and a strange, dangerous tenderness. As the Trials push them to their limits, Emery must navigate the brutal demands of the Dark Forces while resisting the pull of a man who could just as easily kill her as protect her. And Cameron must fight the one urge he’s never been able to overcome.

Zlatá brána, 11. vydanie
Zlatou bránou – touto jedinečnou antológiou pokladov ľudovej slovesnosti – vchádzajú deti do zlatej brány materinskej reči. Sú tu ľudové rozprávky, pesničky, povedačky, hádanky, rečňovanky, príslovia a porekadlá a detské hry. Zozbierala ich a po celý život brúsila a cizelovala spisovateľka Mária Ďuríčková. S rovnakou láskou a majstrovstvom knižku ilustroval výnimočný umelec, maliar a ilustrátor Miroslav Cipár. Zlatá brána je klenotom každej rodinnej knižnice.
Literárny kritik a historik Július Noge povedal o Zlatej bráne:
„Slovesný folklór – piesne, povedačky, hádanky, prekáračky, rozprávky – to je zlatá brána do rodného jazyka. Kto neprejde v detstve a mladosti cez túto zlatú bránu, ostane v rodnej reči navždy cudzincom."
Svet žien
Staré mamy, mamy, dospelé deti, malé deti, priateľky... V tomto príbehu sa nájdu všetci. Spája ich Julka, ktorá musela po rozvode začať žiť odznova... a inak. Na vlastné prekvapenie našla samu seba a nový cieľ svojho života. Zistila, že život jej ešte vždy má čo ponúknuť, len si to musí všimnúť a nebáť sa to prijať. Vytvorila svet, v ktorom nikdy nie je sama. No napriek tomu, že je ten svet úžasný a hrejivý, je v ňom priestor aj na smútky a bolesť. A na tik-tak v hlave, ktorý poháňa všetkých v tomto príbehu (a nielen v ňom). Prebúdza obavy, že niečo nestihneme...
Príbeh Julky a jej malého sveta sa mi písal krásne. V mnohých postavách som zachytila čriepky seba alebo svojich blízkych. A uvedomila som si, že napriek odlišnosti sme si všetci veľmi podobní. Spája nás túžba po láske, priateľstve a pokoji v duši. A tiež neutíchajúce tik-tak, ktoré sa ozýva v našich hlavách. Ja už však veľmi dobre viem, že všetko vo svojom živote nestihnem. To sa jednoducho nedá...
Prajem vám krásne čítanie.
Priateľ severu
Arktické leto, ľadové medvede a detektívna naháňačka za pytliakmi. Obľúbená poľská „reportérka severu“ prichádza s dobrodružným príbehom pre deti. Ako dopadnú severské prázdniny dvanásťročného Daniela, ktorý sa zapletie do pátracej akcie po krutých lovcoch zabíjajúcich ľadové medvede?
Mali to byť pokojné prázdniny u obľúbenej tety. Aj keď trochu nezvyčajné. Na ďalekých Špicbergoch, uprostred sobov, aliek a fjordov. Dvanásťročný Daniel však nepredpokladal, že po pristátí na ľadovom ostrove sa ocitne uprostred kriminálneho vyšetrovania. Ktosi zabíja ľadové medvede a miestna polícia nedokáže vypátrať vinníkov. Je vôbec možné v takej situácii zostať nevšímavým? Zvlášť, keď má dostatok času, dušu detektíva a tetu novinárku, ktorá pozná ostrov ako vlastnú dlaň?
Ilona Wiśniewska v Priateľovi severu prirodzene tematizuje pálčivé témy dneška ako neudržateľný cestovný ruch, vykorisťovanie prírody či katastrofálne klimatické zmeny, a stáva sa tak knihou, o ktorej sa môžete rozprávať naprieč generáciami.
Ilona Wiśniewska je autorkou obľúbených reportážnych kníh z najsevernejších oblastí našej planéty, z ktorých sme niektoré v Absynte vydali. Priateľ severu je jej prvá kniha pre mladších čitateľov. Stretneme sa v nej s viacerými hrdinami a hrdinkami jej reportážnej knihy Biele, v ktorej s radosťou objaviteľky i dokonalou znalosťou miestnych reálií rozpráva príbehy pozoruhodných miest nórskych Špicbergov a ich obyvateľov.
Kniha je vhodná pre čitateľov od 12 rokov.

Ako vychovať nacistu
Veľká Hitlerova armáda sa nezrodila v kasárňach, ale v školských laviciach. Americký pedagóg Gregor Ziemer sa v tridsiatych rokoch do detailov zoznámil so systémom nacistického vzdelávania, ktorého hlavným cieľom bolo vyrábať ľudí ochotných zomrieť za Führera. Ako vychovať nacistu je jedinečná reportážna sonda do hĺbky nacistickej duše.
V tejto knihe sa dozvieš: - aké radikálne zmeny nastali v nemeckom školstve po nástupe Hitlera k moci - ako vyzeral každodenný život detí v nacistickom Nemecku - ako nacisti využívali školu i mimoškolské aktivity na ovládanie myslenia detí - čo sa učili o Führerovi, rase a nepriateľoch štátu - ako sa deti pripravovali na vojnu a smrť už od útleho veku - prečo bolo samozrejmé udávať aj vlastných rodičov
Matky rodia deti, pretože ich k tomu vyzval Führer. Ak sa narodí chlapec – bude z neho Hitlerov vojak. Ak dievča – bude z neho matka, ktorá porodí ďalších vojakov. Cieľom je dobyť celý svet, a tak to nemôže byť inak.
Americký pedagóg a publicista Gregor Ziemer pôsobil v rokoch 1928 – 1939 ako riaditeľ Americkej školy v Berlíne. Všetko, čo sa v Nemecku dialo po nástupe Hitlera k moci tak mal každý deň priamo pred očami. V roku 1939 využil svoje kontakty a s ministerským povolením navštívil rôzne vzdelávacie inštitúcie v Tretej ríši. Pozrel si nielen školy, ale aj pôrodnice, sterilizačné nemocnice či novorodenecké oddelenia. Zúčastnil sa na hodinách geografie, ktoré sa zmenili na náuku o stratených územiach, ktoré je potrebné opäť dobyť a navštívil aj hodiny biológie, ktoré kládli dôraz na to, že všade v prírode funguje vodcovský princíp a demokracia je preto odkázaná na zánik. Ziemer sa zúčastnil výcviku členov Jungvolku a Hitlerjugend, sledoval nočné iniciačné rituály v stredovekých hradoch, rozprával sa s chlapcami, ktorí chceli zomrieť za Hitlera, i s dievčatami, ktoré sa viac báli neplodnosti ako smrti.
Kniha Gregora Ziemera Ako vychovať nacistu vyšla po prvý raz v roku 1941, no aj po viac ako osemdesiatich rokoch nám má stále čo povedať. Oboznamuje nás s podrobnosťami jednotlivých fáz nacistickej výchovy i s mechanizmom formovania nového človeka. Opisuje, ako nacistická ideológia prenikala do každej oblasti života detí – od školy, cez učebnice, hry, piesne až po voľnočasové aktivity. Vzdelávanie bolo úspešné vtedy, ak sa študenti naučili podvoľovať autorite.
V tejto knihe sa však dozvieme predovšetkým to, čo sa môže stať, ak vzdelávanie a výchovu našich detí ponecháme v rukách fanatikov.
Súčasný pohľad na túto tému nám ponúka slovenský historik a odborník na fašizmus Jakub Drábik v zasvätenom doslove.
Kniha Gregora Ziemera Ako vychovať nacistu vychádza v preklade Igora Otčenáša.
