Sleep Has His House
'Her writing is magnificent' Telegraph'A testament of remarkable, if feverish beauty' Guardian In an unhappy suburban household, a young girl begins to retreat into a nighttime world of her own imagining. As her daytime life deteriorates, she decides to take up permanent residence in the house of sleep, where rooms change position and dream-tigers prowl. But there are institutions determined to control her. Will they stop her coming home to the dark forever?A kaleidoscopic autobiographical narrative, written in the language of childhood dreams once known to us all, this is a work of devastating loneliness and stunning imaginative freedom.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Anna Kavan (1901-1968) was born Helen Woods, the only child of wealthy British expatriates, and grew up travelling through Europe and America. She began publishing under her married name, Helen Ferguson, having left her husband in Burma and returned with her son to live in England. After a mental breakdown in the 1930s she began writing under a new name, taken from one of her characters, and with a new style. She continued writing for another three decades, while frequently using heroin and undergoing several rounds of psychiatric hospitalisation. She died shortly after the publication of Ice, her most celebrated work, also published by Pushkin Press.
Václav IV. - Na zármutek nezbyl čas
Odjezd obou Lucemburků, Karla a Václava, ze zemského sněmu v Budějovicích nemá daleko k útěku; sedmnáctiletého krále se kdosi pokusil zavraždit a život mu zachránila pouze náhoda. Smrt tedy počkala pár měsíců a odvedla si římského císaře, po kterém Václav zdědil spousty problémů v Čechách i v Říši, rozdělaných projektů a církevní schizma, s nímž si ani Karel Lucemburský nevěděl rady. Právě to na něm kurfiřti vyžadují vyřešit co nejdříve. Jak zareaguje církev na Václavovy snahy?

Pixie
'A work of genius ... a profoundly feminist book' Louise Doughty 'A funny, feminist bildungsroman ... will see her scoop up any Sarah Waters fans who haven't already discovered her' Patrick Gale 'It's thrilling to live with this book' Monique Roffey “Pixie”. I like it. “Pixie Pamela”. It’s a good name for me: sometimes tiny and invisible. Other times bouncing up to the ceiling to look down on everyone. It’s the turn of the twentieth century and Pamela ‘Pixie’ Colman Smith is a young woman of stark contradictions: plucky yet naive, artistically gifted despite lacking classical training, fascinated by the esoteric but sceptical of the world around her. After the deaths of her beloved mother and her troubled but well-intentioned father, Pixie finds herself in the complex, political world of fin-de-siecle art, trying to get her stunning work seen and to forge a name and a path for herself in life. Across Jamaica, Devon, London and Brooklyn, Pixie is a novel of epic proportions, a tale of the twists and turns, séances and secrets, successes and devastation, of one young woman’s talent, grit and determination. In Pixie, Jill Dawson renders the real-life figure of Pamela ‘Pixie’ Colman Smith, artist, publisher and illustrator of the still-iconic Rider–Waite–Smith tarot deck, in arrestingly vivid detail, breathing life into a story that is instantly knowable, but has, until now, eluded popular imagination.

Pemberley, 1799. When Miss Georgiana Darcy attempts to escape an unwanted marriage proposal, she isn’t expecting to end up quite so far from home.

The Keeper
USA TODAY and ECPA bestselling seriesCombine James Patterson and Colleen Hoover and you'll start to understand why readers are riveted by the Murphy Shepherd series from New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin: gripping action, heart-wrenching emotion, and deep questions that deserve to be considered. Bones--Murphy Shepherd's teacher, mentor, priest, and friend--is gone. Devastated by the loss and unsure how to continue the rescue work they started, Murph has no choice but to jump back in when the worst happens. His longtime friend and current United States vice president, Aaron Ashley, has been a silent partner in the fight against trafficking. But in spite of having the best security available, his three daughters have been taken bound and blindfolded from their home by an extraction team that left no clues and no trace--just an empty house, a bereft mother, and nine dead Secret Service agents. Only Murph and his team have a hope of finding them. Bones may have made the ultimate sacrifice by taking down his own brother and the dark network he led, but there are still others in this network where evil is the currency and power is the prize. Soon Ashley drops out of the presidential race and a new candidate emerges--someone who is ready, too ready, to step into the race and the Oval Office. Bones taught Murph that the needs of the one, the lost one, outweigh those of the ninety-nine. In his first rescue without Bones beside him, Murph's fight against human trafficking takes him across the globe and through the halls of government to destroy the network and save the lives and souls of those taken. The Murphy Shepherd series is simultaneously a tender love story, a heartrending search for freedom, an exploration of the terrible cost of human trafficking, and an anthem to the power of love to create change when it shows up regardless of the cost. The Keeper raises the stakes even further, so be ready--you won't want to put it down until you reach the very last page. The Murphy Shepherd series: Book 1 The Water Keeper, Book 2 The Letter Keeper, Book 3 The Record Keeper, Book 4 The Keeper.

Don't Step into My Office
A gripping debut novel of literary suspense and a vivid portrait of wealth's hidden violence. Aspiring writer and general layabout Jacob Garlicker doesn't expect—walking along the beach on the night of his twenty-sixth birthday—to witness a murder. After a hapless attempt to help the victim, Jacob decides to forget the incident entirely. And for a while, he does, returning to his bohemian life in NYC as if nothing of consequence had occurred. Seven years later, Jacob is blissfully married. Now mostly sober, and mostly at peace with his failed writing career, he's feeling alright as he heads to his father-in-law's birthday celebration in the Hamptons, even as he knows the well-heeled WASPs that populate his in-laws' social circle will spend the weekend treating him with polite disdain. Everything shifts, however, when Jacob arrives on Long Island and begins to realize that those well-heeled WASPs are not as harmless as they seem. Over the course of this propulsive, at times blackly comic narrative, Jacob wavers between addled narcissism and earnest commitment as he searches for the brutal, booze-soaked truth. Indebted to the suspenseful, page-turning plotwork of Patricia Highsmith and the operatic madness of Dario Argento, Don't Step into My Office is a mesmerizing literary puzzle.
Nevesta sekty
Ako sa z nenápadného dotazníka stane vstupenka do sekty?
Keď mala Liz Cameronová osemnásť, v nákupnom centre v austrálskej Canberre ju oslovila neznáma žena s nenápadnou prosbou o vyplnenie dotazníka. Bol to prvý krok na ceste do tajnostkárskej kresťanskej sekty, ktorá pôsobí v desiatkach krajín sveta.
Po mesiacoch indoktrinácie sa situácia vyhrotila – Liz sa k sekte nasťahovala, prerušila kontakt s rodinou a priateľmi a čoskoro bola „povýšená“ na nevestu vodcu sekty, sériového násilníka Jeonga Myeong-Seoka. Vybrala sa za ním do Južnej Kórey, kde ho navštevovala vo väzení a žila v luxusnom komplexe patriacom sekte. Po návrate do Austrálie sa jej fyzický aj psychický stav dramaticky zhoršil a jej život sa ocitol v ohrození. Až vďaka zásahu rodičov a profesionálnych deprogramátorov sa jej podarilo uniknúť.
Nevesta sekty je vážna a mimoriadne dôležitá autobiografická výpoveď o tom, ako sekty fungujú na očiach verejnosti, ako cielene vyhľadávajú zraniteľných ľudí a ako nenápadne rozkladajú ich identitu. Zároveň je to príbeh prežitia, návratu k sebe a varovanie, že vymývanie mozgov sa netýka len „slabých“ ľudí, ale kohokoľvek z nás.
Tam, kde sa rieky spájajú
Na začiatku 20. storočia stojí mladá Eliza Riversová pred svetom, ktorý sa mení rýchlejšie než prúdy riek v jej milovanej Južnej Karolíne. Odmieta byť len tichou dedičkou veľkého panstva Mayfield – túži po slobode, po prírode, po živote mimo spoločenských pravidiel. No Veľká vojna, rodinné spory a neúprosné živly ju prinútia bojovať o všetko, čo miluje.
O osemdesiat rokov neskôr je Eliza poslednou strážkyňou Mayfieldu. Zocelená časom aj stratami musí čeliť vlastnému synovi a rozhodnúť sa, čo obetovať, aby zachránila rodinu i zem, ktorá ju formovala.
Tam, kde sa rieky spájajú je dojímavá rodinná sága o žene, ktorá sa nikdy nevzdala – o sile prírody, lásky a neústupnosti v časoch premien. Autorka bestsellerov New York Times Mary Alice Monroeová ponúka prvý z dvoch epických a sugestívnych románov oslavujúcich život jednej nebojácnej ženy naprieč viacerými generáciami na americkom Juhu, nádherné opisy Lowcountry a odkazy, ktoré platia stáročia.

Netvor a ja
Temná romantasy inšpirovaná starovekým Rímom.
Sarai si stále nepamätá, prečo sa ju niekto pred štyrmi rokmi pokúsil zabiť. Vie však jedno: prípad bol uzavretý nespravodlivo. Dnes sa vracia na miesto činu s novou identitou Pravdolovkyne – prokurátorky schopnej magicky odhaliť klamstvo. Jej partnerom sa stáva chladný a sadistický Tetrarcha Kadra, najzlovestnejší zo štyroch sudcov vládnucich krajine a hlavný podozrivý v prípade úmrtí, ktoré sa podobajú na útok, aký prežila.
Presvedčená o jeho vine, Sarai začne viesť dvojitý život: vo dne súdi prípady po boku Kadru, v noci proti nemu spriada pomstu. Kadra je však sympatický a jeho tvrdá ruka pri riešení korupcie má v sebe čosi neodolateľné. Keď Sarai odhalí dôkazy, ktoré ju vtiahnu do smrteľného politického súboja, musí zároveň bojovať s vlastnou príťažlivosťou k mužovi, ktorého hlas jej pripomína jedinú spomienku na útočníka.
Netvor a ja je strhujúci príbeh inšpirovaný starovekým Rímom, kde sa miešajú intrigy, krvavé spory, manipulatívne hry a zakázaná láska. Perfektná voľba pre čitateľov, ktorí milujú romantasy s dávkou temného napätia a nečakaných zvratov.

Eidolon király mindent elvett tőlem.
A trónomat, az Árnylidércemet, még a királyságomat is. Királynő vagyok, alattvalók nélkül, egy szedett-vedett hadsereggel, ami még csak nem is az enyém. És a remény gyorsan halványul.
Az egykor Revent kínzó árnyak most már bennem élnek, sziszegnek és suttognak - és arra csábítanak, hogy áruljam el a barátaimat. Halálos fenyegetés lettem, veszélyes mindannyiunk számára. Mert a férfi nélkül, akibe beleszerettem, csak árnyék vagyok… fény nélkül.
És közeleg az Együttállás - egy bosszúszomjas király pusztító haragját tápláló évszázadok betetőzése.
Túlerővel nézünk szembe. Az ellenségeink erősebbek. És még ha ki is tudnánk szabadítani a bebörtönzött istennőket, azok elpusztítanák a királyságot, és benne mindent és mindenkit.
A sötétség mindent elnyel a díjnyertes Abigail Owen forró és fordulatos sorozatának záró kötetében.
