In the whimsical world of Tangleroot Valley, magic flows like the seasons, and every witch has her cat dragon - except Aloysia Papplewick.

Days of Shattered Faith
Welcome to Alkhalend, Jewel of the Waters, capital of Usmai, greatest of the Successor States, inheritor to the necromantic dominion that was the Moeribandi Empire and tomorrow's frontline in the Palleseen's relentless march to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world.
Loret is fresh off the boat, and just in time.
As Cohort-Invigilator of Correct Appreciation, Outreach department, she's here as aide to the Palleseen Resident, Sage-Invigilator Angilly. And Sage-Invigilator Angilly – Gil to her friends – needs a second in the spectacularly illegal, culturally offensive and diplomatically inadvisable duel she must fight at midnight.
Outreach, that part of the Pal machine that has to work within the imperfection of the rest of the world, has a lot of room for the illegal, the unconventional, the unorthodox. But just how much unorthodoxy can Gil and Loret get away with?
As a succession crisis looms, as a long-forgotten feat of necromantic engineering nears fruition, as pirate kings, lizard armies and demons gather, as old gods wane and new gods wax, sooner or later Gil and Loret will have to settle their ledger.
Just as well they are both very, very good with a blade…

The Bitter Water of the Lake
In the 1990s, Gaia’s family moves from the neglected peripheries of Rome to an idyllic lakeside town in search of a new life that will lift them out of poverty. Each of them bears their own scars: Gaia’s mother is fiercely determined to secure a better future for her children at any cost; her father, a once proud man, now suffers in bitter silence after a devastating accident; her anarchist older brother rebels against the political apathy he sees at home; and her young twin brothers wordlessly bear witness to a family in decay.
When Gaia meets two local girls, Agata and Carlotta, the trio builds a fragile friendship. Gaia’s encounters with callous boys and contemptuous teachers convince her that she might always be an outsider—excluded from a privileged life and beyond the possibility of happiness.
Winner of the Campiello Prize, The Bitter Water of the Lake is an unflinching portrait of a generation striving to make a place for themselves in a world markedly different from the one their parents promised them.
Generation GDR
A gripping account of East Germany in the late '70s and early '80s, and of one man's fated struggle for freedom.
Friday, April 10th, 1981: 23-year-old Mathias Domaschk boards the fast train from Jena to Berlin, on his way to a birthday party. But he never arrives . . .
The packed train is held up en route, and Mathias and three of his friends are apprehended, suspected of being part of a cell intent on disrupting the socialist party congress. Forty-eight hours later he is dead, following interrogation in the Stasi detention centre in Gera.
What happened over those two days?
Peter Wensierski's captivating book draws on multiple witness statements and extensive Stasi documentation to build a riveting and dramatic account, switching between Mathias's journey and the Stasi activities up to and through his arrest. He also places this tragedy against its broader political and social context to reveal the lives of a whole generation of young East Germans who just wanted live freely - and the contempt that the GDR authorities displayed for their humanity.
Part reportage, part true crime, Generation GDR offers unique insights into the secret corridors of an authoritarian regime and delivers a powerful warning from history.

Dont Make Me Laugh
Don't Make Me Laugh balances anger and humour with the deftest of touches. It is a story about power and control and manipulation, about gendered roles in both the workplace and our personal lives, and about how women are set up in competition with each other. And ultimately - satisfyingly - it's a story about fighting back.

A könyvlabirintus vándora
1885, Parizs. Aubry Tourvel, a lobbanékony természetű kilencéves kislány az iskolából hazafelé menet egy különös, fából készült labdaféleségre bukkan. Átgurítja a szomszéd udvarba, azonban nemsokára a hátizsákjában találja meg. Újra és újra megpróbál megszabadulni tőle, de a labda valami csoda folytán minduntalan visszakerül hozzá.
Este a vacsoraasztalnál Aubry váratlanul rosszul lesz. Szüleivel elindulnak az orvoshoz, és ahogy egyre távolodnak az otthonuktól, a kislány állapota meglepetésszerűen javulni kezd. Ekkor még nem sejti, hogy ez a kezdete élethosszig tartó vándorlásának. A rejtélyes betegség ugyanis nem engedi, hogy néhány napnál tovább megmaradjon bárhol is, vagy visszatérjen azokra a helyekre, ahol korábban már járt.
A Szahara dűnéitől a Himalája hófödte csúcsain át a dzsungelig, egy párizsi udvar feneketlen kútjától egy végtelen föld alatti könyvtárig követjük Aubry magányos bolyongását, miközben próbál végre otthonra találni. De minél messzebbre jut, és minél kétségbeesettebben próbál kapcsolódni másokhoz, annál inkább ráébred arra, hogy nem a cél, hanem az út tesz minket azzá, akik vagyunk.
The One - A tökéletes pár
Meddig mennél el, hogy megtaláld az igazit?
Nem kell hozzá más, csak egy egyszerű DNS-teszt. Gyorsan mintát vesz az ember, és már össze is párosítják a DNS-párjával - azzal, aki genetikailag neki rendeltetett. Ezt ígéri a DNSPárod nevű alkalmazás.
Tíz évvel ezelőtt egy nagyvállalat bejelentette, hogy megtalálták azt a gént, ami párosítja az embereket a lelki társukkal. Azóta világszerte milliók találták meg a DNS-párjukat. Azonban ennek a felfedezésnek megvannak az árnyoldalai: a teszteredmények miatt számtalan párkapcsolat bomlott fel, valamint a feje tetejére állították a klasszikus értelemben vett románcot, randevúzást és szerelmet.
Öt nagyon különböző ember kap értesítést arról, hogy megtalálták a DNS-párjukat. Mindegyikük hamarosan találkozni fog az igaz szerelmével. De nem mindenki fog ,,boldogan élni, amíg meg nem hal". Mert még a lelki társaknak is vannak titkaik. És némelyik bizony sokkolóbb, mint azt bárki sejtené...
Ez a lebilincselő regény bemutatja, hogy még a legtökéletesebb felfedezéseknek is lehetnek súlyos következményei.
