Ten, co kráčí se smrtí 2
Od okamžiku, kdy detektiv Sam vypáčil malou krabičku rodinného dědictví, utekly tři měsíce. To se nezdá jako tak závratně dlouhý časový úsek. Vedle samotné Smrti to ovšem vydá na tři životy. I tak si zvykl, proklel sám sebe. Tím se z něj stal ten, co kráčí se Smrtí, upovídanou a značně otravnou společnicí. Možná by byla snesitelnější, kdyby nosila kosu a černou, ale to ona ne.
Do toho všeho se v jejich městečku začnou ztrácet děti. Pokojíčky jsou plné zvířecí krve a znaků čínského horoskopu. K tomu Smrt objeví stopu, která jasně říká, že nepůjde o případ, ve kterém mají prsty lidé.

Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Hellfire
Lucas, Dustin, and Mike embark on a high-fantasy adventure with classmate Eddie Munson and his Hellfire Club in this new four-issue mini-series, collected here as a graphic novel!
Spell slinging, sword swinging, and the luck of the dice have shaped the lives of the Stranger Things boys well before they had real monsters to face. This D&D crossover delves into Eddie Munson’s past and his rise to de facto leader of the Hellfire Club, and explores his recruitment of Lucas, Dustin, and Mike. Throughout, there are brilliant glimpses into the fantasy world of Dungeons & Dragons that they explore together. This book highlights what really makes tabletop RPGs great through the lens of the hit Netflix series.
At first, the Mirkwood gang is hesitant to join a new campaign without Will and El, but Eddie conjures up his charm and does his best to inspire them to answer his call to adventure. Reflecting on the legendary campaign that got him hooked, Eddie remembers how the original Hellfire crew navigated the weird social dynamics of Hawkins High, seeking new party members to help take on a vicious manticore that nearly wiped out their party, proving time and time again that the party is always stronger than the individual adventurer.
Rumors about Eddie’s bad reputation make Lucas worry that joining his club might hurt his chances of making the basketball team. But when the dice are cruel, Eddie’s true character shines through, earning all of the boys’ respect. Eddie Munson ushers in a new age for Hawkins High Hellfire Club with an exciting conclusion to Mike, Dustin, and Will’s first big Hellfire Club victory.
An action-packed fantasy love letter to the nerds of the eighties who dared to roll dice before it was cool, written by Jody Houser (Critical Role, Doctor Who) and Eric Campbell (Frank Frazetta’s Dawn Attack), and expertly drawn by Diego Galindo (Stranger Things: Tomb of Ybwen).
Collects Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Hellfire #1–#4.

The Iron Flame (Wing and Claw Collection)
This stunning new edition of Iron Flame features gorgeous stenciled edges designed to match Fourth Wing and Onyx Storm--bringing all three books together in one striking visual set. Available as a limited first print run in the U.S. and Canada only.
Discover the instant #1 New York Times bestseller! TV series now in development at MGM Amazon Studios with Michael B. Jordan's Outlier Society.
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College--Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is-unless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits--and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won't be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College--and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

This Inevitable Ruin
The ninth floor. Nine armies, each led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy. Each team has one objective: to capture and hold the castle at the very centre of the battlefield. Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, and, of course, betrayal...It all makes for great fun and even greater television. After all, none of these powerful aliens really die when they''re playing war. Except this time. This time, winner takes all. Those who fall, stay in the ground. As the AI continues its rapid decline, Carl and company take advantage of the chaos. For the first time ever, the crawlers are fighting back. They are now one of the nine teams. And this season, there''s a tenth army on the playing field. The NPCs, who are normally used as nothing but cannon fodder, have become fully self-aware and formed a team of their own. For Donut and Katia, the stakes are even higher. Only one of them will be allowed to leave this level. If they all want to survive, they''re going to need a little help from a veteran or two. This is it. This is what they''ve been fighting toward. This is war.

The Unkillable Frank Lightning
In his first novel, Texan author Josh Rountree (The Legend of Charlie Fish) has created a devastating Frankenstein-inspired tale set in the Wild West. With equal parts Cormac McCarthy, Mary Shelley, and Stephen Graham Jones, Rountree creates a work of historical horror that deftly navigates the terrible aftermath of love and death. Catherine Coldbridge is a complicated woman: A doctor, an occultist, and, briefly, a widow. In 1879, Private Frank Humble, Catherine''s husband, was killed in a Sioux attack. Consumed by grief, she used her formidable skills to resurrect him. But Frank lost his soul after the reanimation, and disappeared after a killing spree. Unable to face her failure and its murderous consequences, Catherine fled to grieve. Twenty-five years later, Catherine has decided she must make things right. She travels back to Texas with a pair of hired killers ready to destroy Frank. But Frank has remade himself as the Unkillable Frank Lightning, traveling with the Wild West Show. Reaching for a last chance at redemption, Frank and Catherine are at an impasse. As time runs out, their final choices may result in considerable bloodshed. ''With THE UNKILLABLE FRANK LIGHTNING, Rountree solidifies himself as not only one of the best writers working today, but makes the case for being the best Western writer of our present century.'' - C. S. Humble, author of That Light Sublime trilogy.
