Nadělat prachy + Nevídaní akademikové
Nadělat prachy Kdo by si nepřál být tím mužem, který vede ankh-morporskou mincovnu a banku, která stojí hned vedle? Je to kšeft na celý život. Ale jak Vlahoš von Rosret velmi rychle zjistí, život nemusí být vždycky dlouhý. Hlavní účetní je velmi pravděpodobně upír, ve sklepeních banky je něco nepopsatelného (a samo bankovní sklepení je nepopsatelné), a k tomu navíc se ukáže, že Královská mincovna pracuje s prodělkem. Tři sta let starý mág nadbíhá Rosretově přítelkyni, Vlahošovi hrozí odhalení jeho kriminální minulosti, ale mohlo by se stát, že ještě před tím ho dostane Cech vrahů. Jednoduše řečeno, existuje řada lidí, kteří by ho rádi viděli pod drnem. Ach ano. A každý den musí chodit venčit spolumajitele banky. Přitom by měl především... dělat peníze! Nevídaní akademikové Do prastarého města Ankh-Morporku dorazil fotbal! Ne ten starodávný, plný hrubého okopávání a odstrkování, ale ten nový, rychlý, kde jsou brankové tyče vyznačeny špičatými klobouky, a s míčem, který udělá bummpin! a vyskočí, když s ním udeříte o zem. Teď musí mágové Neviditelné univerzity zvítězit ve fotbalovém utkání bez použití magie, takže jsou odhodláni vyzkoušet cokoliv. Na fotbalu je totiž jedna věc - jedna důležitá věc, totiž ta, že fotbal obvykle není jen o fotbale.

Where the Axe is Buried
All systems fail. All societies crumble. All worlds end.
In the authoritarian Federation, there is a plot to assassinate and replace the President, a man who has downloaded his mind to a succession of new bodies to maintain his grip on power. Meanwhile, on the fringes of a Western Europe that has renounced human governance in favour of ostensibly more efficient, objective, and peaceful AI Prime Ministers, an experimental artificial mind is malfunctioning, threatening to set off a chain of events that may spell the end of the Western world.
As the Federation and the West both start to crumble, Lilia, the brilliant scientist whose invention may be central to bringing down the seemingly immortal President, goes on the run, trying to break out from a near-impenetrable web of Federation surveillance. Her fate is bound up with a worldwide group of others fighting against the global status quo.
Each of them must navigate seemingly insurmountable dangers and threats to remain free and, ultimately, put humanity's future back into its own hands.
A cybernetic novel of political intrigue, Where the Axe is Buried combines the story of a near-impossible revolutionary operation with a blistering indictment of the many forms of authoritarianism that suffocate human freedom.

A Harvest of Hearts
Howl's Moving Castle meets The House in the Cerulean Sea in Andrea Eames’ debut cosy fantasy: a cheeky butcher's daughter, a befuddlingly handsome sorcerer, and his clever talking cat unlock magical secrets in the dark heart of their kingdom –and just might discover the meaning of true love.
Everyone in Foss Butcher’s village knows what happens when the magic-workers come; they harvest human hearts to use in their spells. That’s just how life in her kingdom works. But Foss, plain, clumsy, and practical as a boot, never expected anyone would want hers.
When a sorcerer snags a piece of Foss’s heart without meaning to, she is furious. For once a heart is snagged, the experience is … well, unpleasant. So, Foss finds herself stomping toward the grand City to keep his enchanted House and demands that he fixes her before she keels over and dies, or whatever happens when hearts are Snagged.
But the sorcerer, Sylvester, is not what she expected. Petulant, idle, and new to his powers, Sylvester has no clue how to undo the heart-taking, or how to do much of anything really, apart from sulk. Foss’s only friend is a talking cat and the walls themselves have moods.
As Foss searches for a cure, she accidentally uncovers that there is much more to the heart-taking – and to the magic-workers themselves – than she could have ever imagined…
