Daughter of the Otherworld


From the author of the Gael Song trilogy, an epic new historical fantasy set in the tumultuous, magical world of medieval Ireland during the time of the Norman invasion. Over a hundred years after she went missing, Isolde, born to the family of a famous Irish king and a powerful immortal, inexplicably reappears. Her mother's kin, the Descendants, are one of the two magical races of Ireland. But no Descendant can understand the reasons for Isolde's disappearance, and worse yet, she is giftless - born with no magical ability, a dangerous thing when the magic-rich Fomorians, ancient enemies of the Descendants, are growing in strength. The Fomorians no longer control any Irish kingdoms, but they still desire control over the mortal world. They seek to spread their dangerous webs wider by manipulating England's Norman lords to invade Ireland. Not yet eighteen, Isolde's world is about to change for ever. But when death and destruction seem inevitable, her true worth will show itself, for Isolde is far more than she seems.

Kouzelníci


Bylo nebylo – do jednoho opuštěného domu se po dlouhé době vrátili tři velcí kouzelníci. Dokážou procházet prostorem i časem, brát na sebe nejrůznější podoby, objevovat se i mizet v nečekaných místech… Ale co jsou zpátky, nezastavili se: pronásledují je totiž Lovkyně a strašlivý drak Drtichrup! Nejradši by je vymazali ze světa. Ale proč? A opravdu ty tři podivné fantasty tenhle svět potřebuje? Jsou totiž docela podezřelí, a možná dokážou jen škodit… Kdo je vlastně Lovkyně a její přítel Drtichrup a proč tak touží kouzelníky zneškodnit? A komu ti dva slouží? Mistrovský grafický román nebo spíš obrazovou knihu francouzského básníka obrazu Blexbolexe, inspirovanou japonským komiksem i německou krajinou, lze číst jako dobrodružný příběh, jako fantastickou podívanou, ale i jako alegorii souboje výbušné, nespoutané a svobodné fantazie, která vždy vybují tam, kde ji nikdo nečeká, a dokáže tak čelit nudnému technokratickému inženýrství dnešního světa.

You Like It Darker


** With a bonus story for the paperback edition. ** 'You like it darker? Fine, so do I' writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of stories that delve into the darker part of life - both metaphorical and literal. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys and mysteries; each feels iconic. In 'Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream', a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny's most catastrophically. 'Rattlesnakes', a sequel to Cujo, sees a grieving widower travel to Florida for respite and instead receive an unexpected inheritance - with major strings attached. 'The Answer Man' asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful. King writes to feel 'the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind' and his ability to surprise, amaze and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. You like it darker? You got it.
