One London Day
One city, one day, and a battle of wills reaches boiling pointJoseph Severin, a respectable North London businessman, has a lucrative side job. He's doing the books, old school (because these days the only trail you can't trace is a paper one) for a rogue MI5 outfit, the Shadows, headed by psychopathic Sebastien. However, when the game is rumbled, Sebastien sends hitman Mr Phipps to kill Severin and get those books back. The spider web of collateral damage will be extensive, taking in Lottie, for whom Severin has developed a sudden, wild passion; Sonya, a Russian escort with a desperate deadline; and at MI5, the ambitious Ellerby, who has them all in her sights. It's the hottest summer in fifty years and in the shadows, a deadly domino effect is about to spill out into the harsh light of day. An earlier version of this book was published as One London Day by C.C. Humphreys, now expanded and revised 2026.

Ticho plné vichru
Jeanne Duvalová – žena, milenka, herečka, tanečnice a především múza básníka Charlese Baudelaira – je v dějinách literatury často redukovaná na exotický symbol básníkova opia, na tělo, které inspirovalo, ale nikdy nemluvilo. V románu Ticho plné vichru ale vstupuje do příběhu z jiné strany. Už není jen ozdobou Baudelairových Květů zla, ale ženou z masa a kostí, unavenou Paříží i mužem, který ji kdysi zbožňoval a pak opustil. Po letech strávených v jeho stínu zůstává sama – v proměňující se Paříži devatenáctého století, v těle poznamenaném nemocí, v čase, který se krátí. Když jí lékař oznámí smrtelnou diagnózu, rozhodne se naposledy zvednout hlavu, usednout na kolo – svůj symbol svobody – a vydat se na cestu z hluku města do ticha krajiny, od slávy k zapomnění. Cesta se stává její vzpourou proti bolesti, osudu i světu, který ji chtěl vidět jen jako „Baudelairovu černošku“. Baudelaire se v příběhu vrací jako neviditelný druhý hlas – muž, který se nedokáže vymanit z vlivu despotické matky a není schopen empatie: z Jeanne si učinil obraz, a tím ji nakonec ztratil. V ozvěnách jeho veršů se zrcadlí vše, co jejich vztah obsahoval: vášeň, opium, rozklad, něhu i destrukci. Jeanne se však učí hledět jinak – na svět, na muže, i na sebe samu.
Ticho plné vichru je intimní, lyrický román o ženě, která se vzpírá vlastní legendě. O těle, jež se mění v prach, o duši, která chce naposledy dýchat. O tom, že i múza může mít poslední slovo – a že i smrt může být formou svobody.
The Eyes of Gaza - A Diary of Resilience
In early October 2023, Plestia Alaqad was a recent graduate with dreams of becoming a journalist. By the end of that November, she would be internationally known as the 'Eyes of Gaza', moving millions with her social media posts depicting daily life in Gaza amid Israel's deadly invasion and bombardment.
Written as a series of diary extracts, The Eyes of Gaza relates the horrors of Plestia's experiences, while showcasing the indomitable spirit of the men, women and children of her community. From the heart of the turmoil, surrounded by falling bombs and widespread devastation, she captures their emotions; their gentle acts of quiet, necessary heroism; and the moments of unexpected tenderness and vulnerability amid the chaos.
Through the raw honesty and vulnerability of a normal twenty-one-year-old woman navigating a human tragedy, The Eyes of Gaza is a potent reminder of the horrors of violence and a powerful testament to the human spirit.
The Swell
Two sisters. A shipwreck. A story demanding to be told . . .
Iceland, 1910. In the middle of a severe storm two sisters - Freyja and Gudrún - rescue a mysterious, charismatic man from a shipwreck near their remote farm.
Sixty-five years later, a young woman - Sigga - is spending time with her grandmother when they learn a body has been discovered on a mountainside near Reykjavik, perfectly preserved in ice.
Moving between the turn of the 20th century and the 1970s as a dark mystery is unravelled, The Swell is a spellbinding, beautifully atmospheric read, rich in Icelandic myth.
The Mistake
He's a player in more ways than one . . .
College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance.
Now he's going to need to up his game . . .
After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She's not a charity case, and she's not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He'll have to work for it. This time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat . . . and she plans on driving him wild.
The Score
This limited Collector's Edition printing will include a new hardcase design, printed edges, designed endpapers, and colored character art throughout of your fave OG hockey couple, Dean and Allie!
He knows how to score, on and off the ice . . .
Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands.
It'll take more than flashy moves to win her over . . .
Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls . . . he's a ladies man, all right, and he's yet to meet a woman who's immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world - and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it's time to stop focusing on scoring . . . and shoot for love.

The Elsewhere Express (Hardback)
Embark on a magical journey in this uplifting and inspiring fantasy from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Water Moon - perfect for fans of Spirited Away, Dallergut Dream Department Store and The Starless Sea.
DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS BEAUTIFUL LIMITED EDITION HARDBACK, featuring gorgeous illustrated endpapers with a scene you can colour in!
Raya is a lost soul, going through the motions of life without a dream of her own.
One night, on her subway ride home, Raya's thoughts wander too far. She wakes on the Elsewhere Express, a magical train that offers its passengers a sense of purpose, peace, and belonging. The journey is a chance for Raya to reimagine her life - but only if she finds her compartment before time runs out.
Once aboard, Raya meets an intriguing artist named Q and together they race to find their place on the train, through a boarding car carpeted in meadow grass and along a dining carriage where passengers picnic on lilypads.
But a mysterious stowaway has boarded with them, and with it a dark, malignant magic that threatens to destroy the train. The closer Raya comes to uncovering the stowaway's identity, the nearer she draws to the ultimate question:
What is her life's true purpose - and is it a destination the Elsewhere Express can take her to?
Miracle
An unforgettable testament to hope and the bonds of brotherhood, Miracle reveals the untold story of the boys who escaped the gas chamber in Auschwitz, the only known group of Holocaust survivors to walk away from the jaws of the Nazi killing machine.
Early on the morning of October 10, 1944, eight-hundred boys, aged between 13 and 17, were taken out of Block 11 at Auschwitz. The night before, during a visit by Dr Josef Mengele, their identification cards had been stamped with a solitary German word - gestorben - 'died' in English. They were then marched by 25 bayonet-wielding SS men to Crematorium 5, stripped, and herded into a gas chamber.
This book is the story of a true-life miracle of the fifty-one boys who were pulled from that gas chamber - the only Holocaust survivors known to have escaped such a close brush with the Nazi killing machine - and given a second chance at life. A life, of course, that would be so horrifically snatched from those around them.
Based on the first-hand testimonies of six of the boys, six survivors whose stories are shared in this book for the very first time, Miracle interweaves the lives of the boys and the grander sweep of history in which they were held. The result is an unforgettable tale of hope, faith and fortitude in the face of one of the worst crimes against humanity.

Praotec Róde a nápoj bojov Surima
Komiks na motívy staroslovanských mýtov a legiend
Pratec Rode a nápoj bohov Surima je komiks, ktorý otvára bránu do sveta, kde sa staré slovanské mýty znovu nadýchli života. V centre príbehu stojí Rode — najstarší z bohov a jeho traja synovia, Svarog, Veles a Perún. Keď sa stratí posvätný nápoj Surima, zdroj nesmrtelnosti, začína sa dobrodružstvo, ktoré presahuje hranice času aj ľudského sveta. Tento komiks nie je len fantazijným príbehom. Je to návrat k našim koreňom, k mytológii, ktorá bola stáročia potláčaná, zabúdaná alebo prekrývaná cudzími vrstvami. V príbehu sa prelína humor, napätie aj jemná mystika. Postavy putujú cez svet ľudí, aj svet bohov, pričom každá z týchto rovín odhaľuje ďalší kúsok zabudnutej slovanskej kozmológie. Nápoj Surima sa stáva symbolom poznania, ktoré musíme znovu objaviť, ak chceme pochopiť, kto sme. Komiks je vytvorený moderným vizuálnym jazykom, no jeho srdce bije v rytme starých piesní a rozprávok. Je určený všetkým, ktorí cítia, že v slovanskej mytológii je ukrytá sila, krása a múdrosť, ktorú dnešný svet opäť potrebuje.

Pupek světa a slinivka břišní
Po knize pražských básní Kostel pro kuřáky vydává Sylva Fischerová knihu pražských povídek. Motto Ivana Diviše:
Je to zem uzamklá ne snad na deset západů,
ale ta, která nemíní komunikovat
v domnění, že je pupkem světa.
Ale ona není pupkem, je jeho slinivkou břišní,
orgánem, na který lépe nesahat.
platí podle ní nejen pro celou zemi, ale i pro její metropoli.
Čteme tu pražské obrazy i příběhy – ty ikonické, jako v povídce Lego Staroměstského náměstí, i ty méně ikonické, jako je firemní večírek na parníku na Vltavě, celá Velká Praha (včetně Zbraslavi a Točné), je tu ale i scénka z pražského literárního života stejně jako minulé životy v podání pražské kadeřnice anebo snaha zodpovědět obligátní otázku: kde vlastně končí Žižkov a začínají Vinohrady. Natrefíme i na traktát o trhlinách, a jedné z postav se v noci zdá o modré čočce… Není to místy lehké čtení – protože tahle matička má drápy. A její obyvatelé taky.
Pro povídky jsou příznačné rozmanité narativní strategie, s cílem představit Prahu a proměny jejího genia loci ve dvacátém a jednadvacátém století z různých, navzájem odlišných úhlů pohledu.
„Jenom podle našeho pojetí času tomu říkáme Poslední soud, vlastně je to stanné právo. To je přece jasné, vám i mně. Stejně tak zlu nemůžeme splácet po částech – není část tam, kde je jenom celek – a stejně to pořád zkoušíme. Jako hlupáci si myslíme, že před zlem můžeme mít tajnosti,“ vysvětluje Kafka Einsteinovi. „A víte vůbec, že v naší synagoze žije zvíře, které vypadá jako kuna?“ „Nevím, protože do synagogy nechodím,“ odpoví Einstein. Když jsem z okna vlaku uviděla na budově nádraží nápis PRAHA-ŠTĚNICE, okamžitě jsem vystoupila, i když jsem měla původně namířeno jinam. Wosud je železny knjez.
