Taken by Rayhan, a powerful vampire warrior, Natalie is forced to use her unstable magic to solve the murder of his father. If she fails, she may never see her family again. But if she succeeds, the truth could be more dangerous than the killer himself. Rayhan never meant to take a prisoner—but Natalie is no ordinary human. When she inadvertently unlocks memories he buried long ago, he realizes she may be the key to justice—and vengeance. What he didn’t expect was the fire between them. Now, the woman who could destroy him might also be the only one who can save him. As deadly secrets unravel and the killer turns their sights on Natalie, desire collides with betrayal, and trust becomes the ultimate risk. Dark magic. Forbidden romance. A fight for survival. Can love bloom between sworn enemies—or will it become the weapon that tears them apar? aptured by the Vampire Knight is perfect for fans of steamy vampire romance, enemies to lovers, and magic-bound fated mates.
The Peloponnesian War
''The greatest historian that ever lived''Such was Macaulay''s verdict on Thucydides (c. 460-400 BC) and his history of the Peloponnesian War, the momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta as rival powers and political systems that lasted for twenty-seven years from 431 to 404 BC, involved virtually the whole of the Greek world, and ended in the fall of Athens. Thucydides himself was a participant in the war; to his history he brings an awesome intellect, brilliant narrative, and penetrating analysis of the nature of power, as it affects both states and individuals.Of his own work Thucydides wrote: ''I shall be content if [my history] is judged useful by those who will want to have a clear understanding of what happened - and, such is the human condition, will happen again ... It was composed as a permanent legacy, not a showpiece for a single hearing.'' So it has proved. Of the prose writers of Greece and Rome Thucydides has had more lasting influence on western thought than all but Plato and Aristotle. This new edition combines a masterly translation with comprehensive supporting material. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Temné sily 1: Rana do srdca
Cameron Mortem má problém – nedokáže prestať zabíjať svojich partnerov. Napriek tomu, že je vyhlásený za klinicky šialeného, je zároveň aj najlepšou zbraňou v arzenáli Temných síl, utajenej vojenskej zložky vybudovanej na poslušnosti, mlčanlivosti a snahe prežiť. Po tom, čo ho experimentálny liek pripravil o rozum, Cameron sa stal rizikom aj pre svojich vlastných. Za trest ho pošlú na výcvikové skúšky, kde sa z nováčikov stávajú nemilosrdní vojaci. Cameronova hlavná úloha? Udržať svoju novú partnerku nažive.
Emery Mavesová unikla trestu smrti len o vlások, namiesto toho sa však ocitá na mieste rovnako bezcitnom, ako boli jej zločiny. Keď ju pridelia ku Cameronovi, musí prežiť nielen tvrdý výcvik, ale aj svojho nevyspytateľného partnera.

The Knight and the Moth
From New York Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy phenomenon: a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a prophetess who is forced on an impossible quest with the one devilishly handsome knight whose future is beyond her sight.
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum's windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral's cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.
The Dispossessed
Shevek, a brilliant physicist, was raised on Anarres, a barren moon with no government, army, laws, or police that has long been isolated from other worlds because of its rigid dedication to radical equality.
Shevek's work promises a breakthrough that could alter the course of human civilisation, but to realise it, he must journey to Urras: a planet dazzling in its beauty and advancement yet fractured by hierarchy.
Though initially welcomed by this unfamiliar civilisation, Shevek soon finds himself caught between competing visions of freedom, a bridge - and a threat - to both. In the conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs, even as he ignites the fires of change.
From the inimitable Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed is a true classic of the twentieth century, a moving story about what it means to return home and a must-read science fiction masterpiece.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM RODDY DOYLE
The Left Hand of Darkness

His goal is to secure Winter's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilisation, but to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and the culture he encounters.
Forced into a perilous partnership with an outcast on a journey across the planet's bitter, whirling snow, he learns how survival, trust and love take shape in a world nothing like his own.
A visionary classic, The Left Hand of Darkness reshaped fiction with its radical exploration of gender, human connection and power.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM DAVID MITCHELL
Make You Mine – Légy az enyém (Éldekorált kiadás)
Egy szexi tűzoltó.
Egy fiatal dadus.
A köztük izzó hő egy kisebb országot is porig égetne.
A férfi nem hisz az örökké tartó szerelemben. A nő pedig nem éri be kevesebbel.
Jace King egy rendkívül jóképű tűzoltó, egyedülálló apa… és az új főnököm.
Egyben ő a legszebb férfi, akit valaha láttam.
Ugye teljesen normális dolog titokban belezúgni abba, akinek dadusként dolgozol?
Ja, említettem, hogy tíz évvel idősebb nálam?
Hogy együtt dolgozik apámmal?
És hogy a család régi barátja?
Ha kinyitnád a szótárt a „tiltott” szónál, ott lenne egy 20 × 25-ös fotó az én szexi főnökömről.
De az biztos, hogy valami történik, valahányszor egy helyiségben vagyunk.
A vonzódás szinte letaglózó.
Jace ragaszkodik ahhoz, hogy ebből nem lehet semmi – én pedig mindig szabálykövető voltam…
De néha a szabályok azért vannak, hogy megszegjük őket, nem igaz?
Holtak mozgatója (Éldekorált kiadás)
Amikor a nyugállományú katona, Alex Easton fülébe jut, hogy gyermekkori barátja, Madeline Usher haldoklik, Ruritaniába, az Usherek ősi lakhelyére siet.
Amit ott talál, maga a rémálom: gombák burjánzanak, és a vadállatokat megszállta valami a sötét, lüktető tó körül. Madeline alvajáró, éjjelente különös hangon szól, a bátyját, Rodericket pedig rejtélyes idegbetegség gyötri.
Alexnek egy rendíthetetlen angol gombaszakértő és egy zavarodott amerikai orvos segítségével kell kibogoznia az Usher-ház titkát, mielőtt az mindnyájukat elpusztítja.
A Hugo-, Locus- és Nebula-díjas T. Kingfisher regénye Edgar Allan Poe Az Usher-ház vége című novellájának lebilincselő, atmoszferikus újragondolása.

Druss, stárnoucí válečník opředený legendami, znovu bere do rukou sekeru jménem Snaga a chystá se postavit přesile, která nemá slitování. V krajině, kde má hrdinství svou cenu, se rodí příběh odvahy, oběti a nezdolného vzdoru. Legenda – epická bitva o srdce národa i paměť jeho hrdinů.
Deset
Život většiny obyčejných Neapolců ovlivňuje „systém“ čili camorra a oni často musejí volit mezi přikázáním Božím a pravidly diktovanými lokálními božstvy zločinu, moci a mamonu.
Andrej Longo se životu Neapole a jejích obyvatel věnuje ve své tvorbě soustavně. Třebaže od prvního vydání povídkové sbírky Deset uběhlo bezmála dvacet let, situace běžných Neapolců, zejména těch méně majetných, se rozhodně nezlepšila.
V deseti povídkách nazvaných podle jednotlivých přikázání Božího Desatera jsou někdy na ploše hodin, jindy dní a jen výjimečně celých let technikou intimního pohledu zobrazeny jak těžkosti lidí, kteří se snaží vzdorovat vábení všudypřítomného mafiánského „systému“, nehřešit a jednat správně, tak i problémy těch, kteří se s tímto systémem, jenž město ovládá, zapletou, podlehnou mu a začnou uctívat jeho bohy. Přítomnost camorry je často jen naznačená, ale odráží se ve způsobu a pokřivenosti uvažování i jednání jednotlivých postav. Autor v mistrné zkratce a prostřednictvím autentických promluv a svižných dialogů rozkládá zavedené představy o životě pod Vesuvem – například ty o posvátnosti rodinných vazeb a „kmenové“ soudržnosti –, zároveň však ukazuje, že i z prohnilého podloží vyrůstají lidé schopní hrdinně odolávat vnějšímu tlaku, aby neztratili sami sebe. Třebaže někdy za to platí cenu nejvyšší.
