Water Moon
Would you rewrite your destiny if it meant losing a part of your past?
On a backstreet in Tokyo lies a pawnshop, but not everyone can find it.
Most will see only a cosy ramen restaurant. And just the chosen ones - those who are lost - will find a place to pawn their life choices and deepest regrets.
Hana Ishikawa wakes on her first morning as the pawnshop's new owner to find it ransacked, the shop's most precious acquisition stolen and her father missing. And then into the shop stumbles a charming stranger, quite unlike other customers. For he offers help, instead of seeking it.
Together, they must journey through a mystical world to find Hana's father and the stolen choice - through rain puddles, hitching rides on paper cranes, across the bridge between midnight and morning and through a night market in the clouds.
But as they get closer to the truth, Hana must reveal a secret of her own - and risk making a choice she will never be able to take back.
Step into the captivating and romantic fantasy novel that will sweep you away on an unforgettable adventure - perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli, Erin Morgenstern and Before the Coffee Gets Cold!

They can all agree on one thing: the king can't win. But can they beat him at his own game?
Because for the blades, this time it's not just personal, it's revenge. Lies may have torn them apart, but now vengeance will bring them together.

„Nem a mai lesz a halálom napja.
Meg fogom menteni őt.”
– Violet Sorrengail Brennan könyvéhez fűzött megjegyzése
Miután majdnem másfél évet töltött a Basgiath Hadi Iskola falai között, Violet Sorrengail tisztában van vele, hogy már nincs idő elméleteket gyártani. És nincs már több idő a bizonytalankodásra sem.
A háború ugyanis elkezdődött, és az ellenség az iskola falain kívül és belül is egyre veszedelmesebb -- lehetetlen megmondani, hogy kiben lehet megbízni.
Violetnek útra kell kelnie a roskadozó aretiai varázsvédelmen túlra, hogy ismeretlen vidékeken keressen szövetségeseket Navarre számára. Az út alaposan próbára teszi a rátermettségét, a szerencséjét és az erejét, de bármit megtenne, hogy megmentse az övéit -- a sárkányait, a családját, az otthonát és persze a férfit, akit szeret.
Még akkor is, ha ehhez akkora titkot kell őriznie, amely talán mindent elpusztít körülötte.

mocnými rodmi sa vyostruje a celý svet sa pripravuje na vojnu, akú ešte nikto nezažil.

lord Stannis sa stal obeťou žiarlivej čarodejnice, ktorá ho pevne drží vo svojej temnej moci. A
mladý Robb Stark stále vládne severu z pevnosti v Riavokrute.
Medzitým na krvou zaliatom kontinente kráľovná Daenerys zhromažďuje armádu, aby
opätovne získala trón, o ktorom je presvedčená, že jej právom patrí. No kým sa pripravujú
vojny o moc, z najvzdialenejších kútov sveta prichádzajú barbari a divosi, vedení
legendárnymi Inými – armádou nemŕtvych, ktorých sila je nezastaviteľná. Kráľovstvá sú na
pokraji zániku, ale nikto nemieni v honbe za víťazstvom poľaviť.

VÍŤAZI VLÁDNU, PORAZENÍ ZOMIERAJÚ, HRA O TRÓNY NEPOZNÁ PRAVIDLÁ
V krajine, kde leto trvá desaťročia a zima môže byť dlhšia než celý ľudský život, sa schyľuje
k nepokojom. Na severe povstávajú temné sily, zatiaľ čo na juhu sa kráľovská moc rozpadá
pod váhou intríg a zrady.
Uprostred tohto chaosu stojí rod Starkovcov zo Zimovresu – sú tvrdí, neústupní a odolní
ako samotná zamrznutá zem, z ktorej pochádzajú. Lord Stark, verný povinnosti a cti, je
proti svojej vôli povolaný na kráľovský dvor ako nový pobočník panovníka. Tento krok však
môže ohroziť nielen jeho rod, ale aj samotnú krehkú rovnováhu kráľovstva.
V Hre o tróny sa stretávajú lordi a dámy, vrahovia a čarodejníci, divoké kmene privádzajúce
ľudí k šialenstvu či dračí princ, ktorý neváha obetovať vlastnú krv kvôli moci. Príbeh zrady,
lásky a neodpustiteľných chýb sa práve začína.
