An Honored Vow - The Halfling Saga 4


The fourth instalment in the thrilling romantasy series about king's Blade, Keera, and her epic quest to avenge her lover, save her people and bring down a tyrant king. 'Your land is not the one you take; it is the one you die for.' Keera has tried to keep her final promise to the friend she was forced to kill to save a kingdom - but that promise has led to the most difficult struggles of her life. She's been at war with her worst self while battling King Damien for the freedom of the Halflings, and she's lost too many along the way. But when she finally breaks the last seal, unleashing the Fae magic that's been hidden away for hundreds of years, the conflict seems to be turning in the Halflings' favour. Meanwhile, Keera's discovery of a staggering secret about her lover and the kidnapping of one of her closest allies threatens to tip her back into darkness, but she has no time to rest. Opening the kingdom's magical seals has transformed Keera in ways even the wisest Fae elders could not have anticipated, and the return of an evil thought long vanquished throws their rescue plans into chaos. And with the kingdom's Halfling population suddenly posing a risk to the crown, the land is plunged into violence as the king begins a new blood purge. Keera and her allies must gather an army to meet Damien's forces in a final confrontation of epic - and tragic - proportions. The stunning fourth book in BookTok sensation Melissa Blair's epically romantic series will leave readers breathless as Keera fights for her land, her people, and the promise of a better world.

Nečakaná návšteva


Súbor krátkych próz o neobyčajných stretnutiach dôchodcu Juska Po odchode do dôchodku Jusko objavuje nový život. Ako mu predpovedala manželka Mária, chvíľu potrvá, kým sa stane dôchodcom. Mnohí kvázi priatelia, ktorí sa k nemu hlásili v časoch, kedy šéfoval, ho už nepotrebujú. Uvedomuje si známu pravdu, že priateľov môže zrátať na prstoch jednej ruky. O slovo sa hlásia aj choroby a Juskovou najlepšou prevenciou sú prechádzky. Pri tom všetkom sa snaží o svojrázny humor a videnie a uchováva si originálny odstup. Aj keď je čas strávený na zaslúženom odpočinku na prvý pohľad pokojný, Juskove stretnutia majú pečať neobyčajnosti. Práve vďaka ním prežíva zmysluplný život aj v období, ktorí mnohí jeho rovesníci považujú za stratený. S väčšinou smrteľníkov si uvedomuje, že veľké a dramatické udalosti sa dostávajú na plátna kín vo filmoch, nám ostatným ostáva prežiť život v každodenných, no určite nie všedných premenách času, niekedy trochu okorenených literárnou fikciou.

Endless Anger - Monsters Within 1


From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes the first in a dazzling spin-off trilogy focusing on the children of the original Monsters & Muses books: a dark and twisted contemporary romance inspired by the Greek Furies, set at an exclusive (and dangerous) university. *** Sometimes the pomegranate doesn't fall far from the tree... Asher Anderson is angry. At the world, at himself, at the way his best friend Lucy Wolfe seems determined to tune out this buzzing connection between them. He doesn't mean to solve all his problems with violence, but maybe he has too much of his father in him. That's why the faculty at Avernia College hates him, right? Because of the "evil" blood in his veins? He should know better than to darken the old, ivy-covered university's door, but it's practically a law of the universe: wherever Lucy goes, Asher follows. Even if that means entering a twisting labyrinth of secret societies, human sacrifices, and a very personal history soaked in blood. Lucy is used to being an outcast. She's even used to Asher being her dark, brooding shadow. What she isn't used to is him shattering her resolve by taking her up against library bookshelves as she desperately pretends her heart hasn't always been his. She should know better than to play with fire, but with unexplained deaths and pointed threats ripping apart the university's fabric, Asher and Lucy soon find themselves at the centre of the turmoil, where they'll have to confront their feelings - or die trying. The riveting and steamy Monsters & Muses series continues in Monsters Within - a gripping, pulse-pounding trilogy of dark spin-offs for fans of Greek mythology-inspired romance.
