The Familiar
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo comes a spellbinding novel set in the Spanish Golden Age.
In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion. But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to improve the family's social position.
What begins as simple amusement for the nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez, the disgraced secretary to Spain's king. Still reeling from the defeat of his armada, the king is desperate for any advantage in the war against England's heretic queen-and Pérez will stop at nothing to regain the king's favor.
Determined to seize this one chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the lines between magic, science, and fraud are never certain. But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition's wrath. She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive-even if that means enlisting the help of Guillén Santángel, an embittered immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.
The Cautious Travellers Guide to The Wastelands
It is said there is a price that every passenger must pay. A price beyond the cost of a ticket.
There is only one way to travel across the Wastelands: on the Trans-Siberian Express, a train as famous for its luxury as for its danger. The train is never short of passengers, eager to catch sight of Wastelands creatures more miraculous and terrifying than anything they could imagine. But on the train's last journey, something went horribly wrong, though no one seems to remember what exactly happened. Not even Zhang Weiwei, who has spent her life onboard and thought she knew all of the train’s secrets.
Now, the train is about to embark again, with a new set of passengers. Among them are Marya Petrovna, a grieving woman with a borrowed name; Henry Grey, a disgraced naturalist looking for redemption; and Elena, a beguiling stowaway with a powerful connection to the Wastelands itself. Weiwei knows she should report Elena, but she can’t help but be drawn to her. As the girls begin a forbidden friendship, there are warning signs that the rules of the Wastelands are changing and the train might once again be imperiled. Can the passengers trust each other, as the wildness outside threatens to consume them all?

Podmanivý fantasy román o síle magie a rodinných vazeb
Sestry Joanna a Esther se dlouhá léta nesetkaly. Jedna se po otcově záhadné smrti stará o rodinnou sbírku vzácných kouzelných knih, druhá se toulá po světě.

The Hurricane Wars - A hurrikánháború
A szív csatatér. Két ellenség. Egy kénytelen szövetség. Egy szerelem, amely megmentheti vagy el is pusztíthatja a világukat...
Talasyn egész életében a hurrikánháborúban élt. Árvaként nőtt fel, nemzetét a kegyetlen éjcsászár ostromolja, családját a szabadságért harcoló katonák között találta meg. Azonban halálos titkot rejteget: ereiben fénymágia csordogál, izzó erő, amiről mindenki azt hiszi, évekkel ezelőtt megsemmisült.
Alaric hercegre, a császár egyetlen fiára és örökösére vár a feladat, hogy seregeivel és erőteljes árnymágiájával elsöpörjön mindent, ami az Éjbirodalom uralmát veszélyezteti. Talasynban a valaha volt legnagyobb fenyegetésre lel: a lány fényesen izzik a csatatéren a varázslattól, ami megölte a fiú nagyapját, szörnyeteget csinált az apjából, és kirobbantotta a hurrikánháborút. Alaric megpróbálja megölni a lányt, de a fény és a sötétség összecsapásában az energiáik összefonódnak, és olyan erő keletkezik, amilyet soha nem láttak azelőtt.
Ez a háború csak velük érhet véget. Azonban még ennél is nagyobb veszély közeleg, amit talán csak a kettejük különös mágiája képes megállítani. Talasyn és Alaric döntés előtt áll... vajon az a sorsuk, hogy összefogjanak, vagy hogy elpusztítsák egymást?
Felejthetetlen romantasy, egy rendkívüli új író lélegzetelállító debütálása. Tökéletes olvasmány a Negyedik szárny és a Tüskék és rózsák udvara rajongóinak.
Hagyd, hogy téged is magával ragadjon!

TEMESD EL A TITKODAT, VAGY HALJ MEG ÉRTE!
A tizenhét éves Quell egész életében csak menekült. Ő és az édesanyja városról városra költöznek, hogy eltitkolhassák a halálos mágiát, amely a lány ereiben folyik. Egészen addig, amíg valaki rá nem jön Quell sötét titkára. Hogy elrejtőzzön az őt üldöző bérgyilkos elől, és az édesanyját is megóvja a veszélytől, Quell végül belép a mágikus társadalmi elit társaságába, a Rendbe. Ha sikerül végigcsinálnia a tagsághoz szükséges három rítust, és elsajátítania a mágia megfelelő válfaját, akkor örökre eltemetheti tiltott mágiáját.
Ha viszont elkapják, végeznek vele.
A Rend tagjává válni azonban sokkal nehezebb, mint Quell elképzelte, különösen, hogy egyre közelebb kerül Jordanhez, a mentorához, aki ráadásul kiképzés alatt álló bérgyilkos is, és őrá vadászik. Quell végül választásra kényszerül: felvállalja a sötét mágiát, amely elől egész életében menekült, vagy megkockáztatja, hogy elveszíthet mindent és mindenkit, akit csak szeret. És a legfélelmetesebb szörnyeteg, amellyel valaha szembe kell néznie, talán benne lakozik.
