But magic is fickle - sooner or later, it is bound to spell trouble . . .

Koruny Nyaxie 3: Slávik a srdce z kameňa
Pri zostupe do podsvetia si nevesta slnka musí vybrať medzi svetlom svojho vykúpenia... a temnou láskou, ktorá vzdoruje samotným bohom.
Mische stratila všetko, keď bola násilne premenená na upírku – svoj domov, svoju ľudskosť a zo všetkého najzdrvujúcejšie lásku boha slnka, ktorému zasvätila svoj život. Teraz, odsúdená na smrť za vraždu upírskeho princa, ktorý ju premenil, sa jej vykúpenie zdá nemožné.
Keď však Mische zachráni Asar, nelegitímny princ z Rodu tieňa s minulosťou rovnako surovou ako jeho jazvy, je nútená vydať sa na misiu horšiu než poprava: cestu do podsvetia, aby vzkriesila samotného boha smrti.
Mische je napokon nútená vybrať si medzi vykúpením slnkom a zatratením temnotou.

Arogantný a nebezpečne príťažlivý Rowin Silver sa s ňou stretne pri bráne a odmietne ju vpustiť dnu. Genevieve si aj tak nájde vlastnú cestu do sídla... Čoskoro si však uvedomí svoju chybu.

Rowin jej ponúkne dohodu. Môžu súťažiť spoločne, ak všetkých presvedčia o tom, že sa šialene milujú.
Genevieve vie, že mu nemôže dôverovať, no spraví čokoľvek, aby prežila. Kým sa spolu skrývajú a lovia, snažia sa ignorovať túžbu, ktorá sa medzi nimi narastá. Do tohto muža sa rozhodne nemôže zamilovať. Nesmie preto zabudnúť, že zaľúbenie iba predstiera.
Napokon, práve Rowin ju naučil hlavné pravidlo Enchantry: Nikdy, ale naozaj nikdy never svojmu srdcu.

Věrní a padlí 3: Zkáza
Třetí kniha z kultovní série Věrní a padlí od uznávaného autora fantasy Johna Gwynna
Země vyhnanců zachvátily válka a zmatek. Lstivá královna Rhin dobyla celý západ a nejvyšší král Nathair získal kotel, nejmocnější ze sedmi Pokladů. Za Nathairem stojí pletichařící Calidus a vojsko Kadošim, obávaných démonů ze Zásvětí. Jejich cílem je přivést Asrotha v čele zástupu padlých do světa těla, k tomu však potřebují mít sedm Pokladů pohromadě. Jinde doutná plamen odporu — královna Edana nachází spojence v mokřadech Ardanu. Maquin je na útěku v Tenebralu, Lykos a jeho piráti jsou mu v patách. V Tenebralu se stane svědkem zrodu povstání v Nathairově vlastním království.
Corbana strhl proud války. Trpěl, přišel o milované, chtěl jenom najít bezpečí před blížící se temnotou. Už ale nechce dál jen utíkat. Spatřil již tvář zla a rozhodl se proti němu bojovat. Otázka však zní jak. S družinou, která se kolem něj shromáždila, zahájí cestu, jež ho zavede do Drassilu, bájné pevnosti hluboko v srdci Fornského lesa. Neboť v Drassilu se nachází Skaldovo kopí, jeden z Pokladů, a tam také podle proroctví stane Jasná hvězda proti Černému slunci.

Visszafelé világ
A világ belépett a Hobart-fázisba, aminek hatására az idő visszafordult. A könyvtárak nem gyűjtik a könyveket, hanem megsemmisítik, a nemzés nem az élet elejét, hanem a végét jelenti, a cigaretták csikkből nőnek teljessé, a temetők csendjét pedig a sírban feléledt emberek kiáltásai verik fel.
Sebastian Hermes munkája az így életre kelt „öregszülöttek” kiásása és értékesítése, amely szerény megélhetést és feltűnésmentes életet biztosít számára. Egy nap aztán ráakad az újraszületni készülő Anarchista Peakre, a volt vallási vezetőre, akinek szektája azóta meghatározó vallássá nőtt. Csakhogy az Anarchista visszatéréséhez mindenkinek lenne egy keresetlen szava.
Philip K. Dick teológiai szempontból talán leginkább embert próbáló regénye az idő, a kapcsolatok és a létezés kérdésével foglalkozik a halál, a vallás és a szeretet természetén keresztül.

An Amateur Witch's Guide to Murder
Mateo''s mother forbade him from ever using magic, but now that she''s gone, magic''s his only marketable skill, and he''d really like an exorcism - which costs money he doesn''t have. What''s the harm in making a quick buck by calling himself an Occult Specialist and chanting a few half-remembered spells in his crappy Spanish? Enter Topher, a naive nepo baby with a curse that keeps killing people around him. Most importantly, he''s rich, and too clueless to clock that Mateo - and his (absolutely-not-the-assistant) astral-projecting best friend Ophelia - have never actually had a client before. Lifting Topher''s bad luck curse should be simple, but as luck would have it, nothing is simple, and Topher - who Mateo sort of, kind of likes - might be at the centre of a deadly magical conspiracy. To make matters worse, the more magic Mateo does, the stronger the demon inside him grows and the more he wants to eat people. But would caving to the urges of an ancient evil really be that bad if it helps him get a payday? Legends and Lattes meets A Grim Reaper''s Guide to Catching a Killer in this hilarious and charming queer romantic fantasy readers won''t want to miss.
