Severní den 2: Nachová temnota
PŘICHÁZÍ KONEC VŠEHO, A NESE BARVU NACHU…
Severní den se zmítá v chaosu. Ulicemi se valí nekonečný déšť i krev ukřižovaných. Vláda a Církev padly a moc přebírají příslušníci tajemného Svitu. Blíží se však něco ještě zlověstnějšího: Nachová temnota, dvacet osm dní dlouhá noc, během níž vycházejí přízraky z hvozdů a prastaré labyrinty odhalují skelety nepředstavitelných tvorů.
Aby zvrátili běh událostí, musí bývalý prospektor Julius a vůdce zločineckého Syndikátu Vicram podniknout výpravu do Severních teritorií, kde se skrývají nevypočitatelné biokonstrukty. Nadlidskými schopnostmi nadaná Cora s uprchlou společnicí Hanou se současně vydávají zachránit Rovini, Jezerem i Skalní město před smrtící nemocí.
Na cestě po rozbouřeném oceánu i ledových krách je budou provázet tisíce let starý hlavonožec i stroje, jaké dosud nikdo nespatřil. Bude to ale stačit? V Nachové temnotě je totiž jednoduché se ztratit… a mnohem těžší z ní uniknout.
„Dramatické události ze Severního dne gradují v brilantním mixu sci-fi & fantasy, jaký dovede napsat jen Ondřej Blaho.“ – PEVNOST

Byla vycvičená zemřít, zakázala si milovat. Ale jestli má padnout, padne i celá říše.
Celý život se Vaasu snažili vycvičit jako dokonalou zbraň. Poté, co ztratila matku, si je Vaasa jistá, že se blíží i její smrt. Probudila se v ní totiž jakási temná magie, která ji požírá zevnitř. Tomu věří i její mocichtivý bratr, který chce Vaasu využít politicky a zlikvidovat. Jako nejstarší muž rodu ji provdá za Reida z Mirehu, nelítostného cizího vládce, v naději, že její smrt poslouží jako záminka k tomu, aby konečně napadl Reidovu zemi. Jediné, co musí Vaasa udělat, je zemřít.
Vaasa však zoufale touží žít. Do svého nedobrovolného manželství vstupuje s plánem uniknout. K jejímu překvapení jí však Reid nabídne dohodu: když mu pomůže udržet si moc, nechá ji svobodně odejít. Výměnou za spolupráci se s ní také podělí o znalosti magie, kterými učené ženy v jeho zemi disponují, aby ji její vlastní síla nezničila.
Tento návrh je možná příliš dobrý na to, aby se dal odmítnout. Mezi Vaasou a Reidem to však začne jiskřit, a to by mohlo jejich dohodu ohrozit. Jakmile smrtící intriky jejího bratra dostanou konkrétní obrysy, bude v sázce nejen Vaasina svoboda, ale budoucnost celých říší.
Napínavá sága pro čtenáře sérií Skleněný trůn a Dvůr trnů a růží kombinuje politické intriky a romantické pletky mezi nepřáteli.

Alternatív valóság, valós őrület
Az 1960-as évek végén egy tehetségtelen, paranoiás ember jutott be a Fehér Házba, és egész Amerikát gonosz háborúra uszította egy képzelt belső ellenség ellen. Philip K. Dick – aki ezúttal szereplője saját regényének – azon igyekszik, hogy ne legyen ő is a háború áldozata. Közben legjobb barátja, Nicholas Brady egy földönkívüli entitás adását fogja, aki talán maga Isten, és azt akarja tőle, hogy döntse meg az Elnök rémuralmát.
Philip K. Dick alternatív történelmi elemeket felvonultató sci-fije fojtogatóan izgalmas, komoran humoros és annyi összeesküvés-elméletet vonultat fel, hogy az még a legedzettebb paranoiást is megbizsergeti.
Piranesi
A Hollókirály szerzőjének mámorító, hipnotikus új regénye, mely egy álomszerű, alternatív valóságban játszódik.
Piranesi háza nem hétköznapi épület. Termei végtelenek, folyosói végeláthatatlanok, falait pedig sok ezer különféle szobor borítja. A labirintusszerű csarnokok közt egy bebörtönzött óceán terül el, hullámok emelkednek mennydörögve a lépcsőházakban, pillanatok alatt árasztva el a termeket. De Piranesi nem fél; ismeri a dagályokat, ahogyan a labirintusban is eligazodik. Élete a ház felfedezéséről szól.
Rajta kívül még egy ember él a házban, a Másik nevű férfi, aki hetente kétszer meglátogatja Piranesit, hogy a segítségével a Nagy és Titkos Tudás nyomára bukkanjon. De kutatásai során Piranesi bizonyítékot talál egy harmadik személy létezésére is, és egy szörnyű titokra kezd fény derülni, mely a Piranesi által ismert világon túlra nyit kaput.
Susanna Clarke várva várt második regénye lenyűgöző új világba vezeti az olvasót: egy meglepő képekkel és szürreális szépséggel teli végtelen labirintusba, melyet dagályok és felhők kísértenek.

When she hears a rumour that her sister Catalina is living among a group of missionaries on a nearby island, Inez embarks on a dangerous journey over the sea. Aboard a pirate ship, she meets Umali, the boat''s fierce fire-tender captain. Umali has never been gentle, and she burns brighter than anyone Inez has ever known. Lunurin and Alon are desperate to follow Inez, but the Codícians are closing in with a powerful armada to retake Aynila. To stand any chance, Lunurin must unify the disparate factions of her forces before the festival of the eclipse, when the world''s magic will be at its strongest.Three goddesses stand behind them. But without human allies, even that power may not be enough to save their islands and the people they love.
Édes rémálom
A legtöbb iskola büszkélkedik a diákjaival. A Calder Akadémia azonban inkább rejtegeti és bezárja őket. Ide járnak ugyanis a paranormális világ fenegyerekei. A szabályszegők, a katasztrófát okozók, a lelkileg sérültek. Tündérek, vámpírok, vérfarkasok, akiknek az ereje le van fojtva, hogy ne pusztíthassanak többé maguk körül. De akinek a vérében van, az megtalálja a módját a balhézásnak varázserő nélkül is.
Én különösen kedvelt célpont vagyok: az igazgató lánya. Na, nem mintha anyám megvédene. Inkább ő maga is azon igyekszik, hogy minél többször megbüntethessen.
A legjobb taktikám az, hogy próbálok lehajtott fejjel közlekedni a folyosón, mindenkit elkerülve. Különösen Jude Abernathy-Leet, aki tudja, hol fáj a legjobban.
De most minden más. Katasztrófahelyzet van. Hurrikán közeledik, az áram hol elmegy, hol visszajön, a paranormálisok elfojtott ereje időről időre elszabadul, és hirtelen mintha legborzasztóbb rémálmaink válnának valóra.
Muszáj szövetségeseket találnom, ha túl akarom élni ezt a pár napot. De Jude-ról szó sem lehet. Nem törheti össze a szívemet még egyszer.
Térj vissza a Sóvárgás világába, és találkozz újra kedvenc szereplőiddel, Remyvel és Izzyvel!

Seven Recipes for Revolution
The Bear meets Attack on Titan in this exhilarating, food-based epic fantasy filled with high stakes and monster steaks, perfect for fans of Pierce Brown and Jay Kristoff. Paprick is a common butcher, carving slabs of meat from gargantuan monsters so elite chefs can prepare magic-granting meals for the rich. But Paprick's true passion is cooking, and if he can learn the secret art, his dreams of liberating his people and sharing the monsters' magic with the world could come true. He steals the precious ingredients needed to practise recipes at home, but if he's caught, he'll be executed. As his desperation grows, he ventures into the black market and uncovers a spice imported from unknown lands. Combining it with the last of his stolen meat, he cooks a dish the world has never tasted before, with side-effects he couldn't have foreseen. The dish's magic grows Paprick to kaiju-size, and legends of his powers spread among the people. Immediately, the rulers arrest him, but Paprick convinces them to make him a chef's apprentice-if they ever want to learn his Recipe. However, his exposure to the world of high cuisine reveals the rot at its centre, and with his new power, rebellion is only a few recipes away...

***
He was the other half of my soul – the mirror to my every dark desire. My destruction, my redemption, my salvation: my Heathcliff.
Cathy Earnshaw’s got the devil inside her – or at least that’s what the small, cultish community she’s spent her whole life trapped inside would say. She can sense death coming, and every loss sends her spiralling into a violent, uncontrollable episode of grief, wailing like a banshee across the swampy forests of the Lowcountry. With a secret as dark as hers, there’s no hope of relief, or escape, or finding someone with a chance of understanding.
Until she meets him.
Heathcliff’s got his own trauma, and a secret just as dangerous as Cathy’s. Stolen as a child, raised by necromancers, he’s the most forbidden sin she could ever imagine…and the most desperately tempting. Violent in his passions, tender in his affection, he feels like the other half of her soul, but even as they claw desperately to be together, the world seems just as determined to keep them apart.
Because it turns out their little Southern community was built long ago on a graveyard of lies…and every cult needs its sacrificial lamb.
The third book in the GILDED MONSTERS series, featuring fantasy romance retellings of classic tales, is a new adult romance to be devoured by fans of steamy romance, classic literature and gothic fiction.
