Ve stínu hory


DLOUHO PŘED UDÁLOSTMI UKRADENÝCH JAZYKŮ. V indiánské rezervaci Cold Valley, ve stínu tiché a zlověstné hory Pale Peak, se Onwé Lopez zmítá mezi dvěma světy. Ve dne sleduje, jak se jeho lid odvrací od původních tradic i víry a hledá útočiště v křesťanství. V noci ho však sužují děsivé sny – noční můry o Akánthovi, příteli z dětství, který před desítkami let zmizel beze stopy. Vinou nečekané tragédie dorazí do města neznámý muž. Přináší svědectví o smrti a nevysvětlitelné zkáze. V temných ulicích městečka Autumn Ridge se začne potulovat přízrak, který po nocích nahlíží do oken a lační po lidských duších. Z jeskyní hluboko pod horou Pale Peak k Onwému začnou šeptat hlasy. Vábí ho do nitra hory a slibují návrat všech, které miloval. Ve stínu hory je příběh města, v němž se bolestně střetává minulost s přítomností a které padá za oběť pradávnému zlu, jež nemělo být nikdy probuzeno.

Aký krásny obrázok


Príbeh o zrade, ktorú rodina odmietla vidieť. Andrea má štyri a pol roka, keď ju jej otec David po prvýkrát kúpe. Hoci je ešte veľmi malá, cíti, že na spôsobe, akým sa jej dotýka, je niečo nesprávne. Keď ich v kúpeľni prichytí matka Marlene, zrúti sa na zem a po prebudení zistí, že oslepla. Jej hysterická slepota vyvolaná šokom trvá len niekoľko týždňov. Vedomá slepota voči pravde však celé desaťročia. Andrea vyrastá v tieni nevypovedaného, vyštuduje ošetrovateľstvo a neskôr právo, vybuduje si úspešnú kariéru a naučí sa prežívať vo svete zmarených ilúzií. No vo veku tridsaťtri rokov spustí jeden nechcený dotyk v preplnenom metre lavínu spomienok, ktoré roky držala pod zámkom. Aký krásny obrázok je silná a bolestivo úprimná memoárová výpoveď o zrade, ktorú rodina odmietla vidieť, a o dlhom, náročnom procese uzdravenia. Vhodná pre fanúšikov bestsellerov Som rada, že mama zomrela (Jennette McCurdy) a Sklený zámok (Jeannette Wallsová).

Cruel Prince – Kegyetlen herceg - Éldekorált kiadás


Éldekorált kiadás Légy üdvözölve a királyságukban... Nem gondoltam, hogy még egyszer beteszem a lábam Royal Manorba. Most, négy évvel később mégis itt vagyok… Visszatértem, hogy befejezzem az utolsó évemet a Royal Hearts Akadémián, és kénytelen leszek szembenézni Jace Covingtonnal. Az első barátommal. Az első szerelmemmel. Az első csókommal. A fiúval, akit magam mögött hagytam. Csakhogy ő már nem ugyanaz a srác, akinek odaadtam a szívemet. Ez az új Jace épp annyira kegyetlen, mint amennyire gyönyörű, ráadásul elhatározta, hogy pokollá teszi az életemet nagyravágyó családja többi tagjával és a zsarnokokból álló bandájával együtt. Azt várják tőlem, hogy a lábuk nyomát is megcsókoljam, mint mindenki más, de én inkább ennék sarat, mint hogy megtegyem. Ha Jace Convigton el akar kergetni, jobban kell próbálkoznia. Mert sosem voltam az a fajta lány, aki a szabályok szerint játszik.

John of John


Out of money and with little to show for his art school education, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry home to the island of Harris to find that not much has changed except for him. In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal resumes his old life, caught between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his Glaswegian grandmother Ella, who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for decades. While Cal wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home, John is dismayed by his son’s long hair and how he seems unwilling to be Saved. As the seasons pass, everything is poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly entangled. John of John is the heartbreaking story of a young man’s return home and how the bonds of family life are torn by the weight of expectation. It confirms Douglas Stuart as one of the great British writers at work today.
