Tea You at the Altar - Tomes & Tea 3
A wedding should be fun . . . right?
The Princess Bride meets Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes in Tea You at the Altar, the third cosy fantasy in Rebecca Thorne's bestselling Tomes & Tea series. Our sapphic adventurers must navigate the ultimate maelstrom - their own wedding!
Kianthe and Reyna are finally ready to walk down the aisle. This feels so right, but their plans are going all wrong. Pirates crowd the town, Kianthe's estranged parents invited themselves, the baby dragons are causing mayhem - and they might run out of tea. Yet the truth overshadows everything . . .
Their wedding has nothing to do with marriage, and everything to do with overthrowing the vicious Queen Tilaine.
But the Queendom's secret heir would rather manage a hive of bees or study city planning than take the throne. As the big day nears and the coup unravels, Kianthe and Reyna must rely on each other and their friends to survive the experience. Six days until they say 'I do'. Six days until the Realm changes for ever . . .
Syn medvědího otce
Aby se vyhnul nebezpečí, je muž v lese nucen zabít medvědici. Jejího mláděte je mu však líto, a tak jej vezme domů ke své ženě. Tento akt milosrdenství a lítosti rychle zasáhne do osudu páru, jehož láska je podrobena zkoušce narozením neobvyklého dítěte... Syn medvědího otce, němý grafický román francouzského autora Nicolase Presla, vypráví dojemný příběh o soužití lidí a zvířat. Mimořádně sugestivní a poetický, ale místy také hořký příběh o životě potomka, který není ani člověkem, ani zvířetem, se mění ve fantastickou alegorii, která beze slov hovoří o univerzálních tématech lásky a zklamání, odpuštění a nespravedlnosti, sounáležitosti a odcizení. S přesvědčivým a dovedným vizuálním stylem, který čerpá z umělecké tradice mezi dvěma světovými válkami, autor utkal emocionálně nabité a dramaticky poutavé vyprávění o věčném hledání smyslu a identity.

Even Beyond Death
'The storytelling is so addictive. This is sexy, witty, tense and touching - a terrific achievement' Patrick Gale'Even Beyond Death is a remarkable achievement - passionate, witty, and moving. A smart, spirited and highly original historical novel, written with tremendous flair, humour and compassion' Antonia Hodgson'Prepare to be seduced. Even Beyond Death is a ravishingly flamboyant, risqué delight of a novel. This liaison dangereuse is an exquisite romance - but beware a broken heart' Essie Fox'A feast of a book. Witty and bright. The tonic I needed with an addictive love story at its heart. Readers will be swept away by it' Molly Aitken'Like the wicked child of Fleabag and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Knowing, hilarious, tragic and lust-filled - a gripping gay love story with a touchingly tender heart beneath the plumed hats and codpieces' Sofka ZinovieffIt is 1657, and 24-year-old Marquis Jehan de Baudelaire - Avignon's most striking and sought-after bachelor - is in desperate need of a wife, an heir, and, most urgently, a new valet. Enter Jonathan Kryk, a vision of breath-taking beauty. Despite his immense wealth and high status, Jehan finds himself ensnared by the rigid constraints of his era and social rank. His longing for the man who tends to him daily, who dresses and bathes him, remains an impossible dream. Spies lurk everywhere - can he trust anyone in his household, even his own family? The ever-watchful eyes of God and the law put him in immense danger. Lavish and steamy, mischievous and dramatic, Even Beyond Death is the story of a man in love. Not for him a history of military battles and political allegiance, royalty and lineage. With the aid of his disapproving scribe, Jehan wishes to record a memoire of love and tenderness: a 'catalogue of desire'. Fiona Melrose's daring new novel is a passionate and heart-wrenching tale of the sacrifices we make for true love.

Lillian knows this is all too true, but in a family where secrets run through generations like the rushing waters of the local river, can she bring herself to break the cycle and tell Rachel the truth about her past?

An Arrow in Flight
Mary Lavin is the great unsung voice of Irish fiction. Here are her very best, most electric stories: illuminating, moving, arrows in flight.
Mary Lavin’s stories feature ordinary people in the tight confines of ordinary life.
From rural Ireland and the streets of Dublin they charm, irritate and intrigue in complicated brilliance, appearing to us with unique freshness. Good friendships, bad deeds, frustrations, missteps, hope and laughter are all found in captivating stories where real and astonishing things happen. Few women were so consistently published in the New Yorker and yet today Lavin’s work is largely unpublished and overlooked.
This collection re-establishes her as one of the most genius, irresistible and memorable voices of the last century. SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY COLM TÓIBÍN.
Krvavý erb, 2. vydanie
Obľúbená autorka historických romancí Jana Pronská nám vo svojom ôsmom románe približuje dramatické obdobie našich stredovekých dejín a na jeho pozadí rozohráva strhujúci príbeh o úkladoch, pomste a neľútostnom zápase o moc, ale predovšetkým o sile pravej lásky, za ktorú sa oplatí bojovať.
Eliz Zachovej, dcére veľmoža Feliciána Zacha, život doprial milujúcu rodinu, bohatého ctiteľa, privilegované postavenie, bohatstvo. Za jeden deň však prišla o všetko. Keď v kráľovskom paláci znásilnili jej sestru, zúfalý otec s mečom v ruke zaútočil na kráľa. Feliciána, ktorého pri útoku zabili, kráľ vyhlásil za vlastizradcu a jeho zneuctenú dcéru i ostatných príbuzných dal popraviť. Pre Eliz, ktorá len vďaka šťastnej náhode zostala nažive, sa začal boj o holý život.
Dominika Omodeja stihol podobný osud. Pred rokmi sa zachránil ako jediný mužský potomok kedysi mocného rodu, ktorý sa kráľ rozhodol vyhubiť, a stal sa vyvrheľom -- zbojníkom Zoranom. Zmariť kráľovu pomstu voči Zachovcom je preňho vecou cti, no keď sa podujme Eliz zachrániť, neráta s tým, že odvážnej dievčine sa podarí obmäkčiť jeho zatvrdnuté srdce, v ktorom dovtedy nebolo miesto pre lásku...

VITAJTE NA LUXUSNEJ VÝLETNEJ LODI!
Policajný psychológ Martin Schwartz prišiel pred piatimi rokmi za mysterióznych okolností o ženu a syna. Stalo sa to počas ich dovolenky na luxusnej zaoceánskej lodi Sultan of the Seas – nikto z posádky mu však nevedel vysvetliť, ako k tomu došlo. Martin je odvtedy psychicky na dne a vrhá sa ako utajený vyšetrovateľ do najnebezpečnejších policajných akcií, kde mu neraz ide o holý život.
Uprostred zásahu mu zatelefonuje čudácka stará dáma, ktorá sa predstaví ako autorka trilerov. Presviedča ho, že sa bezpodmienečne musí nalodiť na Sultána, pretože našla dôkaz, čo sa asi prihodilo jeho rodine. Martin sa zaprisahal, že nikdy nevkročí na loď.
Keď sa dozvie, že na lodi sa objavilo dievčatko s medvedíkom jeho syna v náručí, ktoré zmizlo pred niekoľkými mesiacmi, neváha a vyberie sa na loď.

Leťte, divoké labutě
Velkolepé pokračování světového bestselleru Divoké labutě, který milionům čtenářů přiblížil moderní čínské dějiny prostřednictvím tří generací žen. Leťte, divoké labutě navazuje na okamžik, kdy autorka v roce 1978 opustila uzavřenou komunistickou Čínu a vydala se na Západ. Sleduje její osobní cestu i proměny země, jež se z izolované diktatury stala globální mocností. Ačkoli autorka žije v zahraničí, její život je stále spojen s rodnou zemí – i s tím, že její knihy jsou v Číně zakázané. Současná politika prezidenta Si Ťin-pchinga pak zasáhne autorku v nejcitlivějším místě: nedostane se k umírající matce. Tento strhující memoár je nejen autorčinou poctou matce, ale především příběhem o odvaze, lásce a fascinující historii, která určuje osudy jedné rodiny i celé země. Je vyprávěný jasným a emotivním hlasem nabízí mimořádný čtenářský zážitek.

June Farrow két élete - Éldekorált kiadás
June Farrow készen áll sorsa beteljesülésére.
Családjának női ágát szörnyű átok sújtja: előbb vagy utóbb mindegyikük eszét veszti. June azonban eltökéli, hogy megtöri az ördögi kört, és tudatosan kerüli a férfiakat, nehogy bárkivel túl szoros kapcsolatot építsen ki. Az egész város ismeri anyja történetét, akinek nyoma veszett, amikor June-t a szíve alatt hordta, majd kislányát egy kosárban eljuttatta a nagymamához, hogy nevelje fel.
A nagymama halála után June különös nyomokra bukkan, amelyek követésével talán anyja rejtélyes eltűnésére is magyarázatot kaphat. Ehhez viszont kénytelen a józan ész határait meghaladó dolgokban hinni. Talán már nála is bekopogtatott az őrület? Vagy igaza volt a nagymamájának, aki azt állította, ő nem beteg, csupán egyszerre van két helyen?
Adrienne Young első, felnőtteknek szóló regénye felejthetetlen romantikus történet egy csipetnyi misztikummal és egy leheletnyi mágiával fűszerezve.
