The Faithful Dark


This is the city of miracles, but not everything miraculous is good. In a holy walled city where sin and sanctity are revealed through touch, Csilla - a girl born without a soul - is worth little to the Church that raised her. But when a series of murders corrodes the faithful magic that keep the city safe, the Church elders see a use for her flaw: she can assassinate their prime suspect, a heretic with divine heritage, without risking the stain of sin. The heretic, however, makes Csilla a counteroffer: clear his name by helping him catch the real killer, and he'll use his angelic gifts to grant her very own soul. Meanwhile, ruthless Ilan, desperate to earn back his position as Church Inquisitor, sees the case as his chance at redemption: he'll bring in the murderer - or, failing that, Csilla and the heretic - and regain his title. But as the death toll rises, and their hunt pits them against the all-powerful and callous Faith, Csilla finds herself torn. Will her salvation come at the cost of everything she believes in?

Puck and Prejudice - Bodicsek és balítélet


Egy nem mindennapi érdekházasság története egy 21. századi profi jégkorongozó és Jane Austen pimasz barátnője között a régenskori Angliában, a 19. század elején. Hogy ez nem lehetséges? Dehogynem! Tucker Taylor, az Austini Királyok hokicsapatának kapusa egy betegség miatt pihenőre kényszerül, ezért úgy dönt, hogy meglátogatja a húgát Angliában. Útközben azonban balesetet szenved, és egy jeges tóba hajt. Amikor kimászik, 1812-ben találja magát, és egy megbabonázó, kék szemű nő úgy bámul rá, mintha két feje nőtt volna. Lizzy Wooddash egy könyvekkel és izgalmas beszélgetésekkel teli életről álmodik, olyan irodalmi példaképek, mint a barátnője, Jane Austen társaságában. És ami a legfontosabb – férj nélkül. A régenskori Angliában azonban nőként kizárólag az özvegyek élvezhették elvárásoktól mentesen a szabadságot és a társasági elfoglaltságokat. Az egyetlen módja, hogy Lizzy gyorsan özvegy legyen, ha összeházasodik egy haldokló férfival, vagy megöl egy teljesen egészségeset, bár egyikhez sem fűlik a foga. Egy jövőből érkező férfi viszont álomférj lenne. Az esküvő után ugyanis kitalálhatják, hogyan juttassák vissza Tuckert a saját idejébe, és az eltűnése – vagyis halála – után Lizzy az az özvegy lehetne, aki mindig is szeretett volna lenni. De amint izzani kezd közöttük a levegő, rájönnek, hogy a szív ügyei ritkán követik az aprólékosan kidolgozott terveket. Kiállhatja a szerelmük az idő próbáját, vagy Lizzy pontosan azt kapja, amit akart – és egy összetört szívet? „Elég forró ahhoz, hogy megolvassza a jeget.” – Kirkus Reviews Engedd, hogy téged is magával ragadjon! Szereted az érzéki, de tartalmas könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan, tetszeni fog! Fiatal nőknek, felső korhatár nélkül!

Tüskék és rózsák udvara 5: A Court of Silver Flames – Ezüst lángok udvara


Sarah J. Maas lélegzetelállító romantasysorozata, a Tüskék és rózsák udvara szenvedélyes és érzéki folytatása, A BESTSELLERLISTÁK éléről. Nesta Archeron mindig is ingerlékeny és büszke volt, hirtelen gerjed haragra, és lassan bocsát meg. Amióta az Üstbe kényszerítették, és akarata ellenére főtündérré vált, nehezen találja a helyét a különös, veszedelmes világban, ahol él. Úgy tűnik, képtelen túllépni a Hybern elleni háború rémségein és mindazon, amit ott elveszített. És van valaki, aki mindenki másnál könnyebben feldühíti: Cassian, a sok csatát megjárt harcos, aki a Rhysand és Feyre uralta Éjszaka udvarában betöltött pozíciója miatt folyamatosan Nesta útjába keveredik. De Cassian nem csak a haragját szítja fel. Le sem tagadhatnák a kettejük közötti szikrákat – és a szenvedélyük fellángol, amikor kénytelenek egy fedél alá költözni. Mindeközben az áruló emberkirálynők, akik az előző háború során visszatértek a kontinensre, veszélyes új szövetséget kötnek, és a vidék törékeny békéjét fenyegetik. A megállításuk kulcsa pedig azon múlik, képes-e Cassian és Nesta szembenézni az őket kísértő múlttal. Ők ketten belső és külső rémekkel küzdenek a bizonytalansággal teli világban, miközben elfogadást – és gyógyulást – keresnek egymás karjában. Add át magad a sodrásának!
