Převychovaní
Jak může vypadat společnost, která se rozhodla odstranit vše nahodilé, nepředvídatelné a zbytečné? Odpověď nabízí román Převychovaní, který čtenáře zavádí do roku 2276, když ideály Velké francouzské revoluce vedly k radikálnímu přeuspořádání života. Peníze, majetek i rodina zmizely, děti od jednoho roka vyrůstají v institucích a jejich místo i roli v životě určuje systém. Z minulosti zůstala jen nejasná torza bez srozumitelného významu. V tomto prostředí, v němž se střídání partnerů chápe jako projev osobní svobody, se rodí vztah Vogelsauge a Hellkopf, který se vymyká této citové otupělosti. Nález zapomenutých předmětů a knih na krátký čas naruší zdánlivě pevný řád a otevře prostor otázkám, pro které v tomto řádu není místo.

Tiny Speck of Black and Then Nothing
Anna has never met anybody like Loll: a British hostess at the Moonglow bar in the Japanese city of Osaka. With her blonde wigs and shimmering dresses, Loll cuts a mesmerising figure. But Anna is troubled by the secrets Loll hides; the identity of her best client with shadowy links to the city's crime underworld; and the sight Anna witnesses one afternoon: Loll teetering on the edge of a railway track, caught in the deafening rush as a train hurtles by.
Whereas Anna has come to Osaka to learn more about her half-Japanese heritage, Loll has no clear reason for being there and no easily discernible past. And so when she disappears, there are only the barest clues as to where she might have gone. Soon Anna is thrown onto a trail that will take her into the darkest corners of the neon-choked metropolis - hidden, forbidden places from which those who know the city best warn her to stay away.

Still reeling from the betrayal that shattered her at Neverthorn, Harlow Daygon is in hiding.
Again.
Magically disguised and barely holding it together, she and the rest of House Phoenix are masquerading as students at Heathermoor, Neverthorn's mysterious Scottish sister school.

But for the first time in a long time Harlow feels almost at home.
Too bad peace never lasts in the Dwimmer world.
The Grym Dunaras is still lost. The kraken gold has vanished. And Typhon has found them.
And this time, he's not the only danger. Close on his heels is a member of the Senate who'd love nothing more than to burn Heathermoor to the ground.
If Harlow can't hold her team-or herself-together, she'll lead her found family straight into a war they can't win.
Or survive.

Království zloby a slibů
Hvězdami požehnaná Adara stojí před osudovou volbou. Buď zůstane v Krvavém království po boku svého druha Evrena, se kterým ji pojí osudové pouto, což ale znamená, že její otec přijde o život. Nebo odejde s Evrenovým bratrem, krutým korunním princem Gavrilem, a vydá se napospas jeho temné moci. Její rozhodnutí ji zavede zpět do Vílího království plného nebezpečné krásy, krutosti a temné magie. Tam se brzy stává nástrojem v rukou prince, který v její krvi vidí klíč k moci. A po té Gavril zoufale touží. Jak princova posedlost sílí, hranice mezi touhou a násilím se nebezpečně stírá. Každý den je pro Adaru bojem o přežití. Brzy si bude muset vybrat: zůstane obětí, nebo bude bojovat a promění se v bytost mnohem temnější? Protože tentokrát nepůjde jen o lásku, ale také o to, kým se nakonec stane… Svižná romantasy plná nezkrotné vášně a milostných scén. Pouze pro dospělé!
Pieseň večnosti
„Ľudia odjakživa ničia to, čoho sa boja. Čomu nerozumejú. Vždy sa nájde človek bažiaci po moci. Taký, ktorý chce všetkých ovládať. Ktorý si myslí, že mu patrí svet, len si ho musí vziať. Mier nie je samozrejmosť. Je krehký ako ľad na povrchu rieky.”
Kaelie je jediná dedička férskej ríše Rinelune. Od detstva žije s vedomím, že o jej osude bolo rozhodnuté dávno predtým, než sa narodila. Pre dobro kráľovstva raz spojí svoj život s iným nesmrteľným férom. Jej srdce si však vybralo inak.
V náručí obyčajného ľudského chlapca zabúda na pravidlá prísneho otca, kráľovské povinnosti aj očakávania ostatných. Hoci je ich láska zakázaná, Kaelie je ochotná pre Lorena obetovať všetko. Keď sa ocitne v kráľovstve Avalynde, zistí, že mier medzi ich svetmi je len krehká ilúzia. Zamilovaná férska princezná sa stane iskrou, ktorá rozhodne o budúcnosti oboch kráľovstiev.

From TikTok sensation Tessa Hale comes a why-choose, enemies-to-lovers shifter romantasy series where everyone has demons and love means sacrifice.
Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are.
I've spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I've gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget.
Until them.
The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin.
They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary. A place to hide, to rest, and maybe even a place to belong.
Only it turns into so much more. Because when they touch me, everything around me ignites, and nothing matters but them.
But these wolves have secrets. And those secrets bring enemies. And when they find out who I really am?
It's not their enemies I need to fear. It's them.

It sent me running from the place I thought I would be safe, right into the path of untold enemies.
But when my life is in danger, the wolves I thought I'd lost for good are the ones who come for me. And they'll burn down the world to keep me safe-even if none of us trusts each other anymore.
With every moment we're forced together, every whispered apology and stolen touch, my resolve to keep them at a distance weakens. And when I realize just how much each of these men has come to mean to me, that resolve crumbles to dust.
Only there are more secrets to uncover-all our pasts lurking in the shadows. And when the monsters emerge from the darkness, there's no escaping them this time…

Now, I'm back where it all began, trapped with the architect of my nightmares. And this time, I know he won't stop until he breaks me.
But my wolves won't stop either. They'll do anything to bring me home and end the one who has me in his sights.
Only there are more monsters and enemies than we ever could've imagined, and when new secrets are revealed, it will take everything we have to defeat them…

Az utolsó szimulákrum
A hatalom csak eggyel osztható.
A háború dúlta Földön a sors és a körülmények egy különös csoportot hoznak össze: egy fasisztát, aki államcsínyt tervez, egy zongoristát, aki az elméjével játszik a hangszeren, egy first ladyt, aki mindent a kezében akar tartani, és az utolsó praktizáló pszichiátert. Miközben a társadalom tetején állók a hatalomért marakodnak, az elnyomott alsó osztály kezd magához térni a kábaságból, egyre többet kérdez, és egyre inkább helyzete és ereje tudatára ébred.
Philip K. Dick regényében összeesküvés összeesküvést ér, miközben úgy olvashatunk történetet időutazásról, pszichoterápiáról, telekinézisről, androidokról és neandervölgyi mutánsokról, ahogy soha korábban.
Prince of Swords - Arcana Academy 2
I am terrified. Yet my heart skips a beat. This man might be a monster, but he is my monster.
Clara Graysword is Oricalis's most wanted. Hunted and cornered, not even her mastery of tarot can save her this time . . . until the mysterious Worldkeepers appear. This secretive order may hold the key to changing Clara's fate. If she dares to trust them.
But the most dangerous alliance of all is one she's already deeply ensnared within: Prince Kaelis.
Kaelis, second-born prince of Oricalis and headmaster of Arcana Academy, is the one man she can't escape - maybe she doesn't want to escape. Ruthless, dangerous, and bound to Clara by destiny and desire, Kaelis tests her heart as much as her loyalty. Together, they grow closer to the most powerful secrets of the tarot . . . and to the truths they both hide that could destroy the passion that they no longer deny.
Hidden in plain sight within Arcana Academy, Clara walks the dagger's edge. Revelations about Oricalis threaten everything she thought she knew, and every choice she makes is the difference between salvation and ruin.
To change the world, Clara must risk everything - her power, her beliefs, and her heart.
Boží mlýn s turbem: Zabíjení
Z temných mračen, která se nad lidstvem léta stahovala, konečně uhodilo. Většina světové populace podlehla vražednému viru. V agonii se zmítající civilizaci dorazila mimořádně silná série elektro-magnetických pulzů. Většina elektroniky byla nenávratně zničena. Státní struktury, policejní složky, armády, to všechno se rozpadlo. Svět, jak jsme ho znali, přestal existovat.
Dvaadvacet let po těchto událostech se osamělý muž vrací zpět do života a zjišťuje, že už tak osamělý není. Náhle se ocitá mezi přáteli. Smrt sice porazil, ale bez nich by byl stejně ztracený, a to i přesto, že se s jeho tělem něco děje a obdivuhodně rychle se hojí. Ovšem ne vše je zalité sluncem. Za humny doutná válka, kterou bude setsakra těžké když už ne vyhrát, tak alespoň neprohrát.
Drsný vědeckofantastický román z ponuré éry soumraku lidstva, kdy nožů není nikdy dost a kdy nejlepším přítelem člověka už dávno není pes, ale spolehlivá, dobře naolejovaná bouchačka. A protože zbraně jsou nebezpečné hračky, občas ukápne i nějaká ta kapka krve. Tahle vize nedaleké budoucnosti se vám líbit nebude.
A jestli ano, jste divní.
