Prepísali by ste svoj osud, ak by to znamenalo stratiť časť minulosti?
V jednej z uličiek v Tokiu sa nachádza obchod, ktorý nedokáže nájsť každý. Je to miesto, kde môžeme prehodnotiť – založiť – naše životné rozhodnutia a to, čo nás trápi najviac.
Hana Ishikawa sa stáva novou majiteľkou záložne. V jedno ráno sa na ňu všetko zosype – jej tajomný obchodík je vykradnutý, vzácny nábytok je preč a Hanin otec zmizol. Vtom záložňu navštívi očarujúci cudzinec, ktorý, na rozdiel od ostatných, nehľadá pomoc, ale sám ju ponúka.
Čaká ich cesta cez veľké dažďové mláky, most medzi polnocou a ránom, stopujú na papierových žeriavoch a neúnavne sa snažia nájsť strateného otca. Čím sú však bližšie k pravde, tým bližšie sa Hana ocitá aj zoči-voči vlastnému tajomstvu a rozhodnutiu, ktoré už nikdy nebude môcť vrátiť späť.

Kvietok
"Ardin zo Sinuvilu je iba obyčajný syn farmára, ktorý sa nikdy nezaujímal o problémy sveta. Ten jeho sa totiž končí za hranicami Dubovej doliny a všetko, na čom mu záleží, sa sústreďuje na dobrosrdečnú Margarétu. Osud však dokáže byť vratký aj ďaleko od konfliktov veľkých národov.
V dôsledku série nešťastných udalostí je Ardin od svojej životnej lásky odlúčený a odsúdený na päť rokov vojenskej služby. Proti svojej vôli sa stáva súčasťou sveta zmietaného brutálnymi bojmi, o akých dovtedy počul iba z rozprávania. Čoskoro však zisťuje, že svet nie je čierno-biely a že nepriatelia nemusia mať rohy, aby boli nebezpeční.
Kvietok je dobrodružno-romantický fantasy príbeh o láske a priateľstve vystavených tým najťažším skúškam aj o tom, že spojencov je občas možné nájsť i tam, kde by ich človek nikdy nečakal. Dokáže sa na konci toho všetkého vrátiť Ardin k svojej milovanej? A zvíťazí pravda a láska nad klamstvom a nenávisťou?"

In the following hours, each of the Maslins must make an impossible choice: risk everything to escape infection and warn the rest of the world - or accept their place in this strange new society.

Mische meghozta a végső áldozatot, hogy megmenthesse azokat, akiket szeret - és örök éjszakába taszította a világot. Asar pedig most, hogy az istenek fogságába esett és a bosszú megszállottja lett, kétségbeesetten keresi kedvesét. Amikor egy istennő felajánlja nekik a végső utat a megváltáshoz, és vissza egymáshoz, Asar és Mische rendkívüli küldetésre indulnak. Meg kell szerezniük a Halál istenének hatalmát, hogy Asar végrehajtsa a lehetetlent: valódi isteni létbe emelkedjen.
Útjuk halandó és halhatatlan birodalmakon keresztül vezet, ahol régi barátaikkal és könyörtelen ellenségeikkel egyaránt találkoznak. De miközben az alvilág az összeomlás szélén áll, és az istenek háborúra készülnek, Asarnak és Mische-nek el kell döntenie, mit hajlandók feláldozni a hatalomért, hogy szembeszálljanak a halállal.
Azonban a bosszúálló istenek és ősi árulások játékában vannak olyan adósságok, amelyeket talán még a szerelem sem képes megfizetni.

But Anya’s lying too. Cursed by a witch after killing her familiar, Anya must find the phoenix and bind it to the witch by the summer solstice, or else suffer a gruesome transformation. With the curse worsening and the Lichtenwald swarming with wizards, she needs Sy on her side – for now. Neither of them can split the prize, nor win alone.

Čtvrtý konkubín
Dalton Greaves je hrdina. Je jedním z prvních lidských zástupců Jednoty, mezidruhové konfederace, která usiluje o spojenectví veškerého inteligentního života v jednom laskavém, harmonickém bratrstvu.
Tak mu to přinejmenším bylo řečeno. Na vlastní oči dosud viděl jen dva představitele Jednoty – obřího slimáka Boreaua, kterému jde spíš o plundrování než šíření lásky a harmonie, a jeho lidskou kumpánku Neeru. A tu Dalton podezřívá, že ho přizvala na Boreauovu loď jen proto, aby se sama nestala další členkou posádky, kterou při průzkumu nějaké neznámé planety sežerou domorodci.
Kupodivu se však ukáže, že vlídná mezidruhová konfederace, jíž leží na srdci dobro všeho inteligentního života, skutečně existuje. Říká si Kolektiv a Jednotu nemá ráda. A už vůbec nemůže vystát její nové lidské přisluhovače.
Když setkání Boreauovy průzkumné lodi s křižníkem Kolektivu nad nově objeveným světem skončí neslavně pro obě strany, Dalton se ocitne mezi třemi mlýnskými kameny – špejlovcem, děsivým vojákem Kolektivu, místními domorodci, kteří nejsou zrovna přátelští, a Neerou, která je ze všech tří možná tou nejnebezpečnější.

The catch? To garner publicity and keep Taissa as the team's secret weapon, she and Kion are forced into a fake relationship. But Taissa and Kion only have two things in common: their love of the game and their undying hatred of each other.
Yet as a mysterious illness befalls the winged creatures of the league, they are forced to work together to save their team.
With sabotage afoot, Taissa and Kion find themselves prepared for anything . . . except the fact that their fake-for-the-cameras relationship may be something real after all.
