A Reign of Rose - The Sacred Stones Trilogy 3


Two kingdoms. One prophecy. One king. One chance to save everything. Arwen Valondale began life as no one, as nothing. But now she's risen to unimaginable heights, done astonishing deeds, and fallen in love . . . with her arch-nemesis, the compelling Kane Ravenwood. Kane stands for everything Arwen hates: confusion, uncertainty, darkness and fear. And yet, she can't seem to leave him behind - she's journeyed to the highest peaks, the most distant lands, even the depths of the seas, and Kane has always been there with her. At first, Arwen believed Kane was the reason her kingdom had fallen to war; now she knows it's the Fae King Lazarus, and that she's prophesised to defeat him. Only by working with Kane will she be able to defeat Lazarus, once and for all, and save herself, her kingdom . . . and maybe her heart. The sweeping conclusion to the Sacred Stones trilogy, a Goodreads Choice Award nominee for Best Romantasy of 2023!

Kronika rodiny Leroy 1


Amy Leroy sa na prvý pohľad nelíši od ostatných žien v dave. Nič na jej zovňajšku neprezrádza, že v skutočnosti je kráľovská dcéra, nesmrteľná princezná spoločenstva zastupujúceho dobro tohto sveta. Jej úlohou je prenášať silu lásky, hoci ona sama by mala držať svoje emócie pod kontrolou a za každých okolností uprednostniť povinnosť. Pravidlá sú však porušené. Amin brat sa prizná, že sa zamiloval do dievčaťa zo znepriatelenej strany, a žiada sestru, aby mu pomohla jeho lásku brániť. Počas stretnutia oboch rodín Amy spoznáva Angela a od prvej chvíle medzi nimi zavládne magnetická príťažlivosť, ktorú obaja rázne popierajú. Amina podriadenosť voči spoločenstvu i celá jej budúcnosť sú náhle spochybnené. Dokáže v sebe potlačiť spomienky na krutosti, ktorým v minulosti čelila? Bude sa riadiť rozumom alebo sa nechá unášať citom? Je vôbec možná skutočná láska medzi anjelom a upírom? Úvodná časť trojdielnej ságy Kronika rodiny Leroy zobrazuje podmaňujúci príbeh o boji, ktorý medzi sebou denne zvádzajú dobro a zlo, o ťaživých tajomstvách a bolestných odhaleniach, ale aj o sile lásky, ktorá je schopná liečiť dušu i telo, hoci niektoré jazvy zostávajú už navždy.

The Hidden Queen


The second book in the Nightfall Saga, the stunning new epic fantasy series set in the world of the Demon Cycle, from New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett. Humanity thought the war with demonkind was over. Now, after less than a generation to rebuild, the demon corelings have returned with a vengeance. The Spear of Ala-the fortress that stands at the gates of the demon's hive-is the last bastion against the horde, and reports say it may already have fallen. Olive Paper is expected to take the vanguard in the fight. Only an heir of Kaji can wield the artifact that opens the gates of the Spear of Ala, and as Ahmann Jardir's child, Olive seems destined for a role as leader and savior. But Olive does not wish to follow in her father's footsteps any more than she did her mother's. Darin Bales was born with supernatural senses that he struggles to process, so much that even those who love him believe he can barely take care of himself. Yet to save his mother from the clutches of Alagai Ka, the demon king, Darin will brave anything to mount a rescue. Darin and Olive each strive to walk their own path but find themselves inextricably tied to the legacies of their parents and to a fated confrontation with the demon king and his new hatchling queen. If they fail, humanity may not survive.

The Open Heart


Catherine Wells (1872–1927) was the wife of H.G. Wells and the author of short stories, poems and an unfinished novella, The Open Heart, a haunting study of a woman’s sense of unfulfilment that adds significantly to our knowledge of early 20th-century feminism. Published here for the first time, The Open Heart is brought together with her stories and poems that appeared in The Book of Catherine Wells (1928). The Open Heart tells of a woman’s shipwreck on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean, a kind of earthly paradise in which she finds herself entirely alone. Included, too, in this collection are Catherine Wells' highly accomplished tales of forbidden love, of a woman’s subjection to a dominant and possessive husband and of female despair. These stories illustrate what H.G. Wells called ‘her brooding tenderness’, her ‘sense of invincible fatality’ and her ‘predisposition towards a haunting, dreamland fantasy of fear’. The Flame Tree Beyond and Within short story collections bring together tales of myth and imagination by modern and contemporary writers, carefully selected by anthologists, and sometimes featuring short stories from a single author. Overall, the series presents a wide range of diverse and inclusive voices with myth, folkloric-inflected short fiction, and an emphasis on the supernatural, science fiction, the mysterious and the speculative.

Smith of Wootton Major


A charming new paperback edition of one of J.R.R. Tolkien’s major pieces of short fiction, and his only finished work dating from after the publication of The Lord of the Rings. What began as a preface to The Golden Key by George MacDonald eventually grew into this charming short story, so named by Tolkien to suggest an early work by P.G. Wodehouse. Composed almost a decade after The Lord of the Rings, and when his lifelong occupation with the ‘Silmarillion’ was winding down, Smith of Wootton Major was the product of ripened experience and reflection. It was published in 1967 as a small hardback, complete with charming black and white illustrations by Pauline Baynes, and would be the last work of fiction to be published in Tolkien’s own lifetime. Now, more than 50 years on, this enchanting tale of a wanderer who finds his way into the perilous realm of Faery is being published once again in paperback. Contained here are many intriguing links to the world of Middle-earth, as well as to Tolkien’s other tales, and this new edition is enhanced with a facsimile of the illustrated first edition, a manuscript of Tolkien’s early draft of the story, notes and an alternate ending, and a lengthy essay on the nature of Faery.

The Serpent Called Mercy


Lythlet and her only friend Desil are shackled to a life of debt and poverty that she fears they will never escape. Desperate for money, they sign up as conquessors: arena combatants who fight sun-cursed beasts in the seedy underworld of the city.

Ambition takes root in Lythlet’s heart as a life of fame and wealth unfolds in her imagination. But Lythlet isn’t the only one out for coin and glory, and she soon finds herself playing an entirely different game—a game of politics and deception. As the cost of her ambition grows, she will have to decide if sacrificing her honor, and only friendship, is worth the chance to shape her own fortune.

It’s the loneliest she’s ever felt in her life. When a mysterious stranger named Hassan appears at her door, he reveals a shocking truth: Stanley isn’t losing his memories. Someone is actively removing them to hide a long-buried secret from coming to light. If Maggie does what she’s told, she can reverse it. She can get her husband back. Led by Hassan and his technological marvels, Maggie breaks into her husband’s mind, probing the depths of his memories in an effort to save him. The deeper she dives, the more she unravels a mystery spanning continents and centuries, each layer more complex than the last. But Hassan cannot be trusted. Not just memories are disappearing, but pieces of reality itself. If Maggie cannot find out what Stanley did all those years ago, and what Hassan is after, she risks far more than her husband’s life.
