Sny o Roseby Hall


Elizabeth se vrací z Londýna do své rodné obce Meadowvale, kde stojí sídlo Roseby Hall, symbol jejího rodu. Městský život ji přestal naplňovat a ztratil smysl. Právě proto možná hledá útěchu tam, kde se kdysi cítila doma. Dům je však zadlužený a jeho pověst pošramocena. Svou pouť za štěstím začne tím, co má ráda, co umí a co ji těší: Peče, zkouší nové receptury, maluje. Do cukrářského zápisníku vtiskne kousek sebe – něco z vášně, odvahy i své jemnosti. Její nová cesta ovšem není bez překážek: neshody v manželství, hrozba vyvlastnění rodinného dědictví, minulost zahalená tajemstvím. Kolik odvahy je potřeba, aby z ruin vyrostlo něco, co bude přinášet radost? A potká Elizabeth na venkově i pravou lásku bez nároků a podmínek?

Body of Water


For fans of Stephen King’s The Mist and the HBO hit show The Last of Us comes a wildly inventive, sinister thriller following an estranged father and daughter who find themselves trapped in a diner by a living body of water. Don't let the water drag you down… It’s been six years since Glen Masters lost his wife in a tragic accident. In hopes of reconnecting with his grieving teenage daughter, Lauren, he decides to take her on a road trip through the Appalachian mountains, where he has fond memories of their past as a family. But what was supposed to be a quick diner pit stop suddenly transforms into a nightmare when armed men stumble in, ranting about a mysterious and deadly “living water” that attacked several people up the road. The story the men spin seems to be the rantings of drunken lunatics, but soon Glen, his daughter, and the other diners find themselves hostages to both the gunmen and the inexplicably terrifying entity. Because there's truly something wrong with the water, and it has no mercy. Panic grows as the diners play witness to a nature-defying being that seeks only to swallow everything in its path. With help nowhere in sight, the group of strangers must work together to devise an escape, and ultimately, Glen will have to face his worst fears to reconcile with the past or risk losing everything. A chilling story from a brand-new voice in fiction, Body of Water explores the complicated nature of grief, terror, and the ghosts we must confront to survive.
