Swordheart - Swordheart 1
Halla has unexpectedly inherited the estate of a wealthy uncle. Unfortunately, she is also saddled with money-hungry relatives full of devious plans for how to wrest the inheritance away from her.
While locked in her bedroom, Halla inspects the ancient sword that's been collecting dust on the wall since before she moved in. Out of desperation, she unsheathes it?and suddenly a man appears. His name is Sarkis, he tells her, and he is an immortal warrior trapped in a prison of enchanted steel.
Sarkis is sworn to protect whoever wields the sword, and for Halla?a most unusual wielder?he finds himself fending off not grand armies and deadly assassins but instead everything from kindly-seeming bandits to roving inquisitors to her own in-laws. But as Halla and Sarkis grow closer, they overlook the biggest threat of all?the sword itself.

Sbírka představuje autorovy povídky, které se za více než čtvrt století objevily v knihách, časopisech a fanzi¬nech. Základní myšlenkou velké části z nich je skeptický pohled na blízkou budoucnost. Vychází z představy, že mezi pravěkými civilizacemi, dneškem a budoucností jsou propastné rozdíly, ale lidé těchto epoch jsou pořád stejní. Nadějí do budoucna by se tak mohla možná stát myslící zvířata, pokud je lidé nezkazí. Stanislav Švachouček a Jiří W. Procházka, spoluautor několika povídek této sbírky, patří k významným autorům generace české sci-fi osmdesátých a devadesátých let dvacátého století, kterou v jejích počátcích pomáhali konstituovat. Tato kniha zahrnuje zhruba polovinu autorových povídek jak ze zmiňovaného období, tak i práce tohoto tisíciletí.
Atomové šelmy 3: Hřbitov
Po světě běhají atomové šelmy – zmutovaní lidé, pozůstatky poslední války – a ti, kdo atomové šílenství přežili bez mutací, se před nimi skrývají v krytech a opevněných městech.
Nejpodivnějším z nich je Hřbitov, sídlo velekněžek Církve Jaderné bohyně. Pod základy Hřbitova jsou pohřbeny sochy starých bohů a také možná ještě mnoho dalších tajemství světa před a také toho, kterým se teď snaží probít Šerif a Novicka v cestě za záchrannou světa. Jenže tenhle svět možná ani zachránit nechce.
Ať radiační situace zůstává stabilní!
Atomové šelmy jsou série Kristýny Sněgoňové a Františka Kotlety. Vítejte ve zběsilém postapo světě nejlepších autorů české fantastiky.

The Disco at the End of the World
The exhilarating and riotously entertaining science fiction romance blending queer counterculture, joy as resistance, and banging disco hits, perfect for readers of Kaliane Bradley, Vajra Chandraseker and Victor Manibo. In 1977 - a world in which America launched its space program shortly after WWII - Mitch Ward followed Flynn, the lost love of his youth, into the US Spaceguard. Now, he's stuck on a backwater moon base with his only friend, Gloria, watching every shuttle in the hope Flynn will be on it. After an inexplicable encounter with a strange, euphoric being, Mitch and Gloria find themselves dishonourably discharged, and stuck in a USA rapidly sliding into fascism with no plans and no future. There's nothing for it but to move to Los Angeles to chase their dreams, and find their people in the discos of the city. But when Flynn crashes back into their lives, claiming to be the host for an emissary of a utopian civilization approaching Earth, he offers Mitch the power to protect himself and friends across the queer community, so they never have to live in the shadows or face oppression again. With the world on the brink of cataclysm, and Mitch and his friends being squeezed out of every space, it's down to this community of disco-loving outcasts to stand up for what is beautiful and right.

Dreams Divine - Romantic Fantasy 2
Our fantasies may be revealed in our dreams, they find us, suspended in the twilight zone of reality and a dream-like state, blurring what is real and what isn’t, balancing on the known and unknown. Lost loves or new loves materialise from the mists in this amorphous world – will they solidify into reality or vanish from whence they came? Still, we yearn to dream, craving to see a face again from a distant place, but where there is light, the cracks can be filled with darkness, where dreams can look like nightmares, a veil that is pulled across our eyelids. It jolts us back into reality. We choose to create and control our desires, yet with no beginning or end – are we really the masters at all?

Az utolsó boszorkány
Innsbruck, 1485.
Helena Scheuberin élete látszólag irigylésre méltó: fiatal feleségként csupán annyi a dolga, hogy gyermeket szüljön és engedelmeskedjen a férjének. Ám amikor titkos szeretőjét, a férje inasát, Leopoldot holtan találják, Helena egyik napról a másikra a vádak kereszttüzébe kerül.
Gyilkossággal gyanúsítják. Sőt, még annál is rettenetesebb bűnnel: boszorkánysággal. Hat másik nővel együtt börtönbe vetik, ahol egykori fényűző élete pillanatok alatt rémálommá foszlik. Amikor az egyik rabnál előkerül egy titokzatos boszorkánytotem, a kétségbeesett asszonyok a szökés egyetlen reményét látják benne. A rejtélyes tárgy azonban sötét erőt szabadít el — olyasmit, ami talán mindannyiuk vesztét okozhatja. Helenának döntenie kell: szembeszáll a rettegett inkvizítorral, még akkor is, ha ezzel saját és mások életét sodorja veszélybe? Vagy hagyja, hogy a vádak a máglyára juttassák? És mi van, ha a legnagyobb fenyegetés nem is az emberek kegyetlensége, hanem valami sokkal sötétebb?
Valós események ihlette történelmi horror, amely lenyűgöző erővel tárja fel a női hatalom és kiszolgáltatottság kettősségét egy olyan korban, amikor a női hangokat elfojtották. Hátborzongató utazás a boszorkányság, a félelem és az elhallgatott múlt világába.
The Arachnid
The hauntingly beautiful second book in the historical gothic romance Poisoner series, where Alina Lis finds herself in hiding from her vampiric ex-lover, Silas. They're a couple deadly as sin, and as intoxicating as a sip of poison . . .
She was once his. He has no intention of letting her go.
Two years after fleeing London society, Alina Lis has found a new life in America, leading a commune of women like herself, with the greater purpose of experimenting on the Vipera. But peace, she learns, is as fragile as a spider's web in winter.
Because Silas Forbes, the very Vipera who once claimed her, hasn't forgotten. His thirst for Alina fuels him to track her down at any cost, and he's brought along Luka Novikov for the hunt - a man who betrayed her, forever marked by the poisoner's kiss and bound to Silas in blood and debt.
With Silas and Luka back in her life, everything around Alina begins to unravel. The walls she's built are no defence against a predator like Silas, or the dangerous pull he still holds. When the human and Vipera worlds suddenly collide, threatening all she's fought to protect, can Alina let go of the past and put her fate in the hands of two villianous immortals she once swore to never trust again?
*This is a dark, supernatural romance for a mature, 18+ audience and contains themes and content that aren't to everyone's liking. Please check the author's note at the beginning of the book for content warnings before reading.*

EXODUS: The Helium Sea
The epic conclusion of the far-future Archimedes Engine duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton.
For millennia, the Crown Dominion has been at relative peace, with the Celestials in control and the human population little better than serfs. But now the Crown Dominion is facing a crisis of epic proportions - one that could change the balance of power in the Centauri Cluster forever - as an exiled faction that has been waiting for seven thousand years beyond the Helium Sea has returned to claim its vengeance.
For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict through either circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they can band together, they may be able to outwit the Celestials and finally earn their fellow humans a place of independence and power in the Crown Dominion.
But first they must locate and master ancient artifacts of immense power that could give them a needed edge in the conflict ahead - all while ducking the forces that are determined to knock them off the board for good.
