Nightshade and Oak
An Iron Age goddess must grapple with becoming human in this delightful historical fantasy of myth and magic from the author of Greenteeth.
When Mallt, the goddess of death, is accidently turned human by a wayward spell, she finds she's ill-equipped to deal with the trials of a mortal life. After all, why would a goddess need to know how to gather food or light a fire?
Unable to fend for herself, she teams up with Belis, warrior daughter of Boudicca, on a perilous journey to the afterlife to try to restore her powers. Frustrated by her frail human body and its inability to run a hundred miles in a single day, Mallt might not make the best travelling companion. But as animosity slowly turns to attraction, these two very different women must learn to work together if they are to have any hope of surviving their quest.
Neviditelní - Prádelna duchů
Třináctiletá Marjorie Glancová si někdy připadá jako duch. Po smrti své matky vede rodinnou prádelnu, stará se o náročné zákazníky, přežívá ve škole a chrání rodinu před nekalými úmysly zákeřného pana Pucráta, který se snaží zničit vše, co pracně drží při životě. Wendell, chlapec, který zemřel příliš brzy – je skutečný duch. Jeho posmrtný život se točí kolem neúčinných terapií, prostěradla – jeho nové podoby těla, a touhy po zakázaném lidském světě. Když se jejich cesty zkříží, Wendell promění prádelnu Glanc ve své půlnoční hřiště, zatímco Marjorie čelí záhadným nehodám a postupně zjišťuje, že není jediná, kdo si připadá ztraceně. Prádelna duchů, první díl trilogie Neviditelní, je citlivý, vizuálně poutavý příběh o dívce a jejím odhodlání bojovat, i když se zdá, že se proti ní spikl celý svět. Vypráví o odvaze, odpuštění a nepravděpodobném přátelství, které se může zrodit i mezi dvěma světy. Dokazuje, že druhá šance existuje – ať už jste naživu, nebo ne. Kritiky i čtenáři oceňovaná trilogie Neviditelní zve do kouzelného světa Prádelny duchů. S jemností a porozuměním tu autorka vypráví o velmi skutečných tématech – o zármutku, depresi, šikaně i o umění pustit to, co nemůžeme změnit. Brenna Thummler vždy tušila, že její život budou provázet duchové. Stejně jako Marjorie vyrůstala v malém městečku v Pensylvánii, kde se hodiny klavíru střídaly se čtením strašidelných příběhů. Na Ringling College of Art and Design objevila svou vášeň pro vyprávění příběhů a současně trvalou nechuť k praní. Dnes opět žije ve svém rodném městě, píše, kreslí a někdy se nemůže ubránit dojmu, že její prostěradla si žijí vlastním životem.
The Wild Card
Tate Ward is the best coach in professional hockey, a hot single dad, one of the best players of all time, and my new boss who likes everyone but me.
The players will do anything for him, the media is obsessed, and the fans still wear his jersey. Everyone's in love with handsome, authoritative Coach Tate Ward. Everyone except me, and the feeling's mutual.
To save the Vancouver Storm from being sold, though, we need to work together and win the Stanley Cup, and I can't help but push his buttons to get under his skin.
He moves me into his guest house and makes me sleep in his bed.
He encourages me with the team and tells me I belong.
He's adorable with his daughter and makes me long for things I shouldn't.
Beneath his controlled exterior, Tate is protective, playful, and funny. He puts everyone before himself, but when I encourage him to be selfish, I learn that Tate wants...
Me.
The Wild Card is a pro hockey single dad romance. It is the fifth and final book in the Vancouver Storm series but can be read as a standalone.
Where the Axe is Buried
All systems fail. All societies crumble. All worlds end.
Nebula Award, Ray Bradbury Prize and Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist and Hugo and Locus Award winner Ray Nayler returns with a gripping technological thriller.
In a familiar yet different Europe governed by AI, life is more efficient, objective, and peaceful. Yet all is not as it seems. Meanwhile, at Europe's eastern edge, the Federation endures under the rule of a President who has preserved his power by transferring his consciousness from body to body.
As both worlds begin to crumble, Lilia, a Federation scientist, discovers a way to slip the nets of surveillance and alter the balance of power. On the run, she becomes the reluctant centre of a struggle between resistance and control. Yet the systems and people surrounding her may already be beyond redemption. Is there any way to put humanity's future back in its own hands?

PRE-ORDER THIS EPIC AND FAST-PACED NOVEL FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SMASH-HIT DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL AND JOIN THE FIGHT.
-
All New Sonoran colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do is run the family ranch and keep their aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking.
But now the colossal Apex Corporation has been hired to commence an "eviction action" - exterminate all life on New Sonora in preparation for a reboot. And they charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines, remotely pilot them, and make it a game.
The game is called Operation Bounce House . . .
And New Sonora is its playing field.
Determined to defend the only home he's ever known, Oliver and his friends find themselves fighting for their lives against these machines.
To earth its a game, but to Oliver, it's war.
Diary of a Murderer
Kim Byeongsu is losing his mind. Quite literally. He keeps forgetting the little things in life, like basic words, whether or not he has a dog, the last time he killed someone...
In his prime, Byeongsu was one of the best murderers around, spending years obsessively trying to perfect his technique, only killing in the pursuit of artistry. And then he gave it all up to be a dedicated father to his adopted-daughter, Eunhui. Now though, suffering from the onset of dementia, he decides to come out of retirement one last time and for one final target: his daughter's boyfriend, who he believes is a serial killer just like him. After all, it takes one to know one.
In other dark and glittering tales, an affair between two childhood friends questions the limits of loyalty and love; a family disintegrates after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years later; and a wild, erotic pursuit of creativity might just come at the expense of all sanity.
The Burial and Other Short Prose, 1963-1994
A collection of works by one of twentieth-century Morocco’s greatest writers Appearing for the first time in English translation, this is the only career-spanning collection of short prose by the fiery, radical Moroccan writer Mohammed KhaIr-Eddine, beginning with the first story he ever published (which won the Prix de la nouvelle maghrÉbine) and ending with a posthumously published monologue written in the voice of an African head of state worrying about the fragility of the nation his death is about to bereave. Throughout his celebrated career, KhaIr-Eddine’s work mused on exile, on his use of the French language rather than his native Chleuh, on the colonial pacification of the Moroccan hinterlands, and on his ancestors. Like the young boy he remembers corralling fish in the seasonal streams of southern Morocco, or the unfortunate travelers waylaid by djinns and hyenas, KhaIr-Eddine finds there is life even in the desert and there is wisdom abounding in the asylum—one need only be patient enough to see it.
Pravidlá zvádzania: Ako zbaliť sestru najlepšieho kamoša
Viete, ako znie prvé pravidlo randenia so sestrou najlepšieho kamoša? Nerobte to. Ani za svet. Zvlášť, keď už dotyčný kamarát nežije a vy ste mu pred smrťou odprisahali, že dohliadnete na jeho sestru, no nikdy neprekročíte isté hranice. Som muzikant a môj najdlhší vzťah trval šesť týždňov. Vážne som ten posledný, kto by sa mal obšmietať okolo Laney Ellisonovej, hoci som do nej zamilovaný už od detstva. Lala, ako ju volám, medzitým dospela, venuje sa vedeckej činnosti a nedávno dostala ponuku podieľať sa na jednom výskume tu v New Yorku. Potrebovala strechu nad hlavou a ja ako správny kamarát som jej ponúkol byt v budove, ktorú vlastním so svojimi kamošmi. Nenapadlo mi, že jej prítomnosť vznieti iskru, ktorú som v sebe už dlhé roky dusil, a všetko sa skomplikuje. Bodaj by nie, keď je zasnúbená.
Preklad z anglického originálu The Rules of Dating My Best Friend’s Sister (New York 2023) Andrea Vargovčíková.

Posledná smrť v roku
Hercule Poirot znovu na scéne!
Po detektívke Tichá noc Hercula Poirota nám britská spisovateľka Sophie Hannahová ponúka nový, už šiesty príbeh s ikonickým belgickým detektívom v hlavnej úlohe. Tentoraz sa Hercule Poirot a mladý inšpektor Scotland Yardu Edward Catchpool spolu vydajú na grécky ostrov Lamperos.
Keď na Silvestra roku 1932 Hercule Poirot s inšpektorom Catchpoolom pricestujú na ostrovček Lamperos, aby tam oslávili príchod nového roka, vysvitne, že tieto sviatočné chvíle prežijú v spoločnosti pomerne svojráznych obyvateľov polorozpadnutej vily. Ich pobyt na krásnom ostrove čoskoro poznačí nepríjemné tušenie, že sa stane niečo zlé. Po slávnostnej večeri sa hostia rozhodnú zabaviť zdanlivo nevinnou hrou na novoročné predsavzatia, ktorá spočíva v tom, že každý hráč anonymne napíše svoje predsavzatie a potom budú hádať, ktoré je čie. Jeden lístok však obsahuje zlovestnú hrozbu, že pisateľ spôsobí „poslednú a prvú smrť v roku“, a dokonca v ňom stojí aj meno budúcej obete.
A naozaj, o niekoľko hodín nájdu na terase vily jedného z obyvateľov mŕtveho. Vtedy Poirot konečne prezradí Catchpoolovi skutočný dôvod, prečo ho vzal so sebou na ostrov: život ďalšieho člena tamojšej komunity je v ohrození. Obaja muži si zaumienia, že urobia všetko preto, aby táto prvá vražda ostala poslednou vraždou v roku...
Z anglického originálu Sophie Hannah: The Last Death of the Year, ktorý vyšiel vo vydavateľstve HarperCollinsPublishers, London 2025, preložila Barbora Andrezálová.

The Mistake
He's a player in more ways than one . . .
College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance.
Now he's going to need to up his game . . .
After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She's not a charity case, and she's not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He'll have to work for it. This time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat . . . and she plans on driving him wild.
Byť človekom
Kniha Evy Wilson nás prenesie do Jelšavy v období vojny a povojnových rokov, kde sa odohráva príbeh skupiny mladých ľudí. Ich životy ovplyvnili osobné strety s fašizmom, rasizmom, náboženským a národnostným útlakom i sociálnymi rozdielmi. V ťažkých časoch im bol svetlom evanjelický farár Remete so židovským pôvodom – jediný kresťan, partizán, ktorého fašisti odviedli z Jelšavy do väzenia v Banskej Bystrici, kde ho bez súdu popravili a následne jeho telo spálili vo vápenke v Nemeckej. Príbeh tohto farára ukazuje, že aj v najtemnejších obdobiach je možné si zachovať ľudskosť. Hoci dej románu je fiktívny a mená postáv boli zmenené z etických dôvodov, autorka sa snaží prostredníctvom milostného príbehu dvoch mladých ľudí na pozadí vojny a povojnovej atmosféry priblížiť realitu tej doby. Pri písaní vychádzala zo spomienok Evy a Karola Nandráskych, záznamov z jelšavskej kroniky, informácií z Wikipédie a Encyklopédie židovských náboženských obcí.
Ukážka z knihy:
„No dobre dievčatá, dosť bolo rozprávania. Povedala som vám všetko, čo ste nevedeli.“
„Aňa, ale ako ste sa dostali do New Yorku ? A ako ste žili počas tých rokov? Prečo ste sa vrátili?“
„Jáj, aké ste zvedavé a ja už mám celkom sucho v krku.“
Jedno z dievčat ochotne naleje mame vínko a všetci povzbudzujú, aby vypila a povedala ešte čosi, lebo sa tak dobre počúvala, že sa im nechcelo vrátiť do reality, aj keď si žijú spokojný šťastný život v rámci možností. Mama preglgla a povedala so slzami v očiach.
„Všetko bolo tak ako Áron Klein povedal. Zosobášili sme sa a oficiálne požiadali o vycestovanie za rodinou do Nemecka. Nerobili nám problémy, lebo Edo bol nežiadúci pre spoločnosť, lepšie bolo zbaviť sa ho. Doma bol plač, ale priali nám nový šťastný život. Vycestovali sme do Berlína a tam sa nás ujal pán Glück. Seriózny starý pán nám zabezpečil lístky na loď, previedol môj kapitál do americkej banky, aby sme mohli z neho čerpať, a dal nám kontakt na Mosheho, ktorý bol úspešný obchodník v New Yorku.

Divoké labutě, 3. vydání
Žádný div, že nesmírně poutavá autobiografická kniha čínské autorky, žijící od roku 1978 ve Velké Británii, se po vydání v její nové vlasti a v USA ihned stala bestsellerem – v díle se totiž velmi zdařile snoubí skvělé, věcné vylíčení historie Číny 20. století, plné neuvěřitelných zvratů, se střízlivě a skromně popsanou, avšak pohnutou osobní historií žen tří generací autorčiny rodiny. Příběh začíná vyprávěním osudu babičky, narozené v roce 1909, nejkrásnější dívky na malém městě, kterou její otec „provdal" jako konkubínu za starého generála, aby zvýšil svoji prestiž a domohl se bohatství; pokračuje líčením života matky, která se stala komunistickou funkcionářkou, a vrcholí autorkou, narozenou roku 1952, jež podobně jako ostatní členové rodiny prošla všemi hrůzami a krutostmi tzv. kulturní revoluce, posléze studovala na univerzitě angličtinu, získala britské stipendium a stala se první Číňankou s univerzitním titulem PhD. Nyní je úspěšnou autorkou několika bestsellerových titulů.
