A könyv, amit nem fogott a tűz - Könyvtár-trilógia 1.
Soha nem kellett volna találkozniuk, de a könyvtár máshogy akarta.
Evar egész életét egy zsúfolásig teli, birodalmaknál is vénebb, nagyvárosoknál is hatalmasabb könyvtár fogságában élte le és amióta csak az eszét tudja, a szabadulás lehetőségeit kutatja. Végül egy rejtélyes könyv kerül a kezébe, amely a jövője kulcsa lehet... de semmi szín alatt nem olvashatja el.
Livira a pusztaságban élt, ahol még a víz is fényűzésnek számít. Egy nap azonban faluját megtámadják a Fenevadak, az életben maradtakat pedig elhurcolják rabszolgának. Szörnyű viszontagságokon át vezet az útja egészen Crath városáig, ahol egy véges-végtelen, ősi könyvtár áll, amelyre a birodalom minden tudása építkezik.
Mihez kezdhet egy Porból jött, ám végtelenül tehetséges lány egy olyan városban, ahol egész népét alávalónak tartják egy olyan időben, amikor a birodalmat Fenevadak dúlják egyre hevesebben, akik egy még szörnyűbb veszedelem elől menekülnek?
Mark Lawrence, a Széthullott Birodalom méltán népszerű szerzője új trilógiájában olyan fantasy világot alkot, amely egyszerre feszegeti a műfaj határait és lép túl időn és téren.

Hrdinové Poslední hlídky stojí před nejtěžším úkolem svého života. V nadcházející kruté zimě mají stát na stráži, aby chránili spící město Awaor před nepřítelem, kterého nikdo z živých dosud neviděl. Netuší, co vše je čeká, ani zda uspějí — vědí jen to, že odcházejí na Poslední hlídku, z níž se už nikdy nevrátí. Možná ale na této cestě odhalí část tajemství svého světa…
Ve vzdáleném městě Harynře byla prý otevřena brána do podsvětí — a awaorský Mistr doprovázený malým chlapcem se vydává zjistit, kolik je na těchto zvěstech pravdy. Na konci dobrodružné cesty je možná čeká Druhá strana světa, ale možná i něco docela jiného…

Before Selene, there was Roxilana. Discover her darkly delicious origin story in this prequel to Bewitched, a complete standalone from TikTok sensation Laura Thalassa.

When Roxilana's latent powers awaken, Memnon appears at her door with a crown in one hand and destiny in the other. Before she knows it, she's swept away to a strange new land and named queen of a people she barely understands…and wife to a man whose love is as intense as it is terrifying.
Magic always demands a price. And as Roxilana learns the true cost of Memnon's power, passion, and prophecy, she must decide whether to build an empire beside her cursed king…or burn it to the ground.

Shield of Sparrows 1 (Paperback)
Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros
The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.
I’ve spent my life kneeling to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king.
I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood.
But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father’s throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.
Now I’m crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him bound to a future I didn’t choose and a husband I barely know.
Everyone wants me to be something I’m not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.
But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there’s power in being underestimated?
And what if for the first time I reached for it?
Tropes:
Enemies to Lovers
Magic, Myths and Monsters
Slow-Burn

Spáč sa prebúdza
Dej jedného z prvých dystopických románov sa odohráva v pretechnizovanom Londýne roku 2100, kde sa po vyše dvesto rokoch zobudí z kómy hlavný hrdina uprostred boja dvoch politických síl o moc. Wells na prelome 19. a 20. storočia zaujímavo odhadol vývojové trendy: rozpad rodiny, plytká zábava a telesné chúťky, citová prázdnota, eutanázia, propaganda cez médiá a sociálna nespravodlivosť. „Zdá sa, že ľudia žijú preto, aby spali“ – znie jedna z filozofických myšlienok, ktorými je popretkávaný dramatický dej. Na jeho pozadí autor naznačuje, že prebúdzajúci sa Spáč symbolizuje prebúdzajúcu sa spoločnosť a aktivity hlavného hrdinu vypovedajú „o túžbach sŕdc“ ľudu, do ktorého vkladá autor veľkú nádej.

Hrad Hayholt, kdysi slavné sídlo Sithů, nyní hlavní město království lidí, oblehli Nornové, jejich zapřisáhlí nepřátelé, a začali rozsévat zkázu. A zatímco pozornost spojenců se upíná k tomuto nečekanému, bleskovému útoku, Utuk’ku, nesmrtelná královna Bílých lišek mění strategii a vrhá všechny své síly k tajemnému a úporně bráněnému Tanakirú – Údolí mlh.

Pronikají čím dál blíž k jádru záhad, jež údolí skrývá, setkávají se s divy i hrůzami, až nakonec stanou před dávným tajemstvím, pro něž nornská královna válku rozpoutala – tajemstvím, jež může zničit nesmrtelné i lidi. Ani to však zdaleka nejsou všichni hráči toho velkolepého finále, kterým Tad Williams s přehledem znamenitého vypravěče završuje sérii Poslední král Východního Ardu.
