Under the Surface – A felszín alatt (Éldekorált kiadás)


Egy világ, ahol a mágia nem kiváltság – hanem kötelezettség. Namia Faye az árvaházban nőtt fel egy olyan birodalomban, ahol minden fiatalnak kötelező kiválasztáson kell átesnie, hogy eldőljön, milyen úton szolgálja majd a hazáját: harcosként a Vasfény Képzőben, tudósként az Ezüsttan Képzőben, vagy arcanusként az Arcanumban. Namia éveken át készült, hogy Ezüst tanoncként, azaz tudósként folytassa életét. De van valami, amit mások nem tudnak: hónapok óta kísérti ugyanaz az álom, és benne egy alak, akit nem ismer – mégis valahogy úgy érzi, ismernie kellene. Titkok, amiket nem lehet eltemetni. És egy fiatal lány, akinek a sorsa többről dönt, mint amit valaha elképzelt. A származásod nem határozza meg, ki vagy. A döntéseid formálnak azzá.

Some Men In London: Queer Life, 1945-1959


The first part of a major new anthology which uncovers the rich reality of life for queer men in London In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated. In a major new anthology, Peter Parker explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as John Gielgud, 'Chips' Channon and E.M. Forster, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalisation. This first volume, from 1945 to 1959, details a community forced to live at constant risk of blackmail or prison. Yet it also shows a thriving and joyous subculture, one that enriched a mainstream culture often ignorant of its debt to gay creators. Some Men In London is a testament to queer life, which was always much more complex than newspapers, governments and the Metropolitan Police Force imagined.

The Moon Child


In early medieval Poland, Iwa has never known life beyond the forest. She is part of the Bison Grass Clan, a group of hunter gatherers who follow the herds through the forest. Yet there is something in her blood that sets her apart. Her mother was not of the clan – a woman who was born in the far-off lands of the Polish lords that lie beyond the forest. She died giving birth to Iwa and there have always been rumours surrounding her birth, of strange magic and pacts with the dark forces of the world. When warriors from the Polish lands invade, seeking to carve a kingdom in the forest, Iwa’s world collapses. But their ambition awakens something ancient – an old power that should have remained buried. Shadows lengthen, the dead stir, and a banished sorcerer calls from beyond the veil. To save the forest – and herself – Iwa must confront the truth of her lineage and the dark legacy it carries. Between the fall of the old world and the birth of the new, she must decide what she will become: protector, destroyer... or the spark that consumes everything.

Így leplezd le a saját gyilkosodat


A tizenhét éves Frances Adams 1965 nyarán egy angol vidéki vásárban hátborzongató jóslatot kap: egy napon gyilkosság áldozata lesz. Bármily hihetetlenek a kóklernek tűnő jósnő szavai, Frances nem tud tőlük szabadulni, és attól kezdve egész életén át rögeszmésen próbál felderíteni egy bűntényt, amely még meg sem történt. Közel hatvan évvel később Annie Adamst meghívják egy találkozóra gazdag, visszavonultan élő nagynénje, Frances hatalmas vidéki birtokára. Mire azonban a lány megérkezik a bájos angol faluba, Castle Knollba, Francest holtan találják – bekövetkezett az, amit mindig is váltig állított. Annie – nem mellesleg pályakezdő krimiíró – a nagynéni naplójával a kezében elszántan keresi a gyilkost, hiszen a jókora örökség azt illeti, aki leleplezi a bűnöst. Ám Frances egész életében maga is titkokat és hazugságokat ásott elő, emiatt szinte valamennyi falubelinek lehetett indítéka a gyilkosságra. Vajon képes lesz-e Annie kibogozni a sötét Castle Knoll-i rejtélyt, vagy a múlt sebeinek feltépése őt magát sodorja a gyilkos útjába? Ahogy egyre közelebb jut az igazsághoz, mind jobban retteg attól, hogy nem nagynénje vagyonát, hanem a sorsát fogja megörökölni.

Coach – Az edző: Ford & Millie (Éldekorált kiadás)


Amerikaifutball-sztár. Egyedülálló apa. És egyszer, nagyon régen, az enyém volt… Az elmúlt közel tíz évet azzal töltöttem, hogy elfelejtsem Ford Ellist. Ha távol maradt volna Montanától, talán örökre sikerült volna kitörölnöm lenyűgöző kék szemének és férfias mosolyának az emlékét. Könnyű volt elkerülni őt, amikor az egyetlen hely, ahol láthattam az arcát, az ESPN sportcsatorna volt – és ezt a problémát a távirányítóval könnyen megoldhattam. Csakhogy a főnököm épp most vette fel Fordot a Treasure State Wildcats új vezetőedzőjének. Nem elég, hogy kénytelen leszek nézni őt a pálya széléről ebben a szezonban, de most, hogy együtt dolgozunk, elkerülni is lehetetlen lesz. Talán mégsem felejtettem el Fordot. Talán még mindig arról álmodozom, mi lehetett volna köztünk. És talán ő sem felejtett el engem. Azonban ezek a „talánok” nem változtatnak azon a tényen, hogy soha nem voltunk egymásnak rendeltetve. Talán egyszer az enyém volt. De mától kezdve Ford Ellist csakis így fogom hívni: az edző.
