The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance
BEHIND EVERY HERO, THERE'S A HISTORIANAn ambitious young scholar is sent to research the mysteries of an adventurer's inn – only to uncover a centuries-old secret in this heart-warming and poignant fantasy. Mount Vengeance is legendary, a monumental climb with a dragon at its peak. For most, it’s an adventure, or a quest to prove themselves worthy of fame and glory. For Ainsworth, it’s perfect thesis material. Ainsworth Gladsly, ambitious young scholar, research fellow and up-and-coming historian is finally ready to make his mark on the world. When his supervisor learns of a rustic inn at the foot of the legendary Mount Vengeance, she sends him to be the first to document the exploits of the bold adventurers who face the perils of the mountain – and the dragon said to inhabit it. But the inn is far from the sophisticated city life he’s grown to love, and even as he grudgingly warms to its rustic charm – and its lovely innkeeper, Honey – the mystery of the mountain refuses to reveal itself. Worse, Ainsworth can’t find evidence that anyone has ever undertaken the climb – every adventurer comes to the inn, stays for a single night, and then returns home. And with Ainsworth’s reputation as an academic on the line, it’s a mystery he can’t allow to remain unsolved – even if he has to push the adventurers up the mountain himself.
Žirinka a Zebrička hľadajú riešenia
Kniha o Žirinke, Zebričke a ich kamarátoch prináša príbehy o hľadaní riešení aj tam, kde sa to môže zdať nemožné. Každodenné situácie plné emócií – hnevu, smútku, radosti, závisti, zahanbenia, odmietnutia, strachu či neistoty – a tiež vzťahov, kamarátstiev a prijímania odlišností ukazujú, že sa oplatí nevzdávať.
Sedem citlivých príbehov v sebe nesie posolstvá empatie, láskavosti, vzájomnej pomoci, povzbudenia a spolupatričnosti. Každý príbeh dopĺňajú zábavné hľadacie úlohy pre deti, otázky na rozhovor a odborné odporúčania pre rodičov, ktoré podporujú spoločné čítanie a porozumenie detskému svetu.
Kniha vznikla v spolupráci s psychologičkami a špeciálnymi pedagogičkami a odborníci ju odporúčajú ako cennú pomôcku pre deti aj rodičov. Podporuje rozvoj emočnej inteligencie, empatie, spolupráce a pomáha budovať pevné puto medzi dospelým a dieťaťom.
V príbehoch sa deti stretnú s témami:
- ako sa zastať kamaráta (výsmech a šikana),
- ako pomôcť druhému (deti často vidia aj to, čo dospelí prehliadajú),
- že cítiť strach a neistotu je v poriadku (budovanie bezpečia a dôvery),
- čo sa môže stať, keď nepovieme pravdu (klamstvo má rôzne podoby),
- porovnávanie a súťaženie (ak je jeden víťaz, druhý nemusí byť porazený),
- čo tvorí skutočnú rodinu (príbeh o tom, ako sa zo zebry a žirafy stali sestry).
Kniha je voľným pokračovaním titulu Žirinka a Zebrička spoznávajú emócie. Časť príbehov sa odohráva v školskom prostredí, preto je vhodná aj pre deti 1. stupňa základných škôl.
Bohové a monstra 2: Trůn zavržených bohů
Dianna, které ublížili tím nejhorším způsobem, truchlí a je posedlá touhou pomstít se těm, kdo ji zradili. Jakožto legendární Ig’Morruthen žízní po krvi a dokáže přijmout jakoukoliv podobu. Její pravá podoba je však ze všech nejděsivější. A jak přichází o poslední kousky lidskosti, rozhodne se přijmout svou temnou stranu a spálit světy. Samkiel, nesmrtelný bůh, byl kdysi zapřisáhlý nepřítel Dianny a jejího druhu. Avšak jedině on sám teď odmítá uvěřit, že se z ženy, kterou miluje, stal netvor, kterého vidí všichni ostatní – a udělá cokoliv, co je v jeho moci, aby ji zachránil před ní samotnou, i kdyby to znamenalo, že ji navždy ztratí. Teď, když všechny sféry ohrožuje Kadenovo vojsko a na obzoru jsou myriády nových hrozeb, si Samkiel nemůže dovolit polevit v ostražitosti. Jen on dokáže Diannu odtáhnout zpět od okraje zatracení. A zatímco Diannina krvežíznivost jen roste, dochází mu čas, aby sebe i ji zachránil.

A tökéletes fiú
"Mrs. Cass, szeretnénk feltenni néhány kérdést a fiának azzal a lánnyal kapcsolatban, aki tegnap éjjel eltűnt..."
Erika Cassnek tökéletes családja van. És tökéletes élete. Egészen addig, amíg egy este be nem csenget hozzájuk két nyomozó.
Egy középiskolás lány nyomtalanul eltűnt Erikáék csendes, kertvárosi környékéről. A rendőrség a legrosszabbtól tart - gyilkosság történt. És feltehetően Erika kamasz fia, Liam volt az utolsó, aki élve látta a lányt.
Erika mindig is érzett valami sötétet és nyugtalanítót a látszólag kifogástalan idősebb gyerekében. Szeretné azt hinni, hogy ártatlan. Ám ahogy a bizonyítékok egyre gyűlnek, már nem tudja tovább tagadni az igazságot: lehet, hogy Liam valami elképzelhetetlen dolgot követett el. Erikának fel kell tennie magának a kérdést: Meddig hajlandó elmenni egy anya, hogy megvédje a gyermekét?
Freida McFadden New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal és Amazon bestsellerszerző regénye bemutatja, hogy a tökéletesség képe csak egy illúzió, és mindig több rejtőzik a mélyben, mint elsőre gondolnánk.
The Tenant - A bérlő
Otthon, édes otthon...
Blake Porterrel szalad a szekér, amíg aztán ennek vége nem szakad. Amikor váratlanul elbocsátják a marketinges alelnöki állásából, és nem tudja tovább fizetni a jelzálogkölcsön részleteit az új barnatéglás házra, amiben a menyasszonyával lakik, kétségbeesett lépésre szánja el magát, hogy egyenesbe jöjjön.
Színre lép Whitney. Gyönyörű, elbűvölő, józan és albérletet keres. Pontosan az, akire Blake-nek szüksége van. De valóban az-e?
Mert valami nagyon nincs rendben. A szomszédok kezdenek más szemmel nézni Blake-re. Az otthonát átjárja a rothadás szaga, bármennyit takarít is. Éjnek idején különös hangokra riad fel. És hamarosan már attól tart, hogy valaki ismeri a legsötétebb titkait.
A veszély az otthona falai között fészkel, és mire erre ráébred, már régen késő. A csapda már áll.

The Fabric of our Souls - Lelkünk vékony szövete
Huszonhat éves vagyok, és meg akarok halni
Amikor élve felébredek a kórházban, és a fivérem fölöttem sír, ez a pillanat mindent megváltoztat. Elintézte, hogy felvegyenek a Harlow Szentélybe, ebbe a szokatlan rehabilitációs központba, ahol újszerű módszereket alkalmaznak, egy intézetbe, aminek legendás a múltja. Itt ismerkedem meg a szobatársammal, akinek kegyetlen a tekintete és a humorérzéke az enyémnél is morbidabb. Különös vonzalom támad közöttünk.
Én a halál után sóvárgok, ő az élet után.
Képes-e két ilyen ember meggyógyítani egymást?
Sbornaya
Sbornaya takes you on an evocative journey through the Soviet Union’s final decade – politically, economically and culturally unravelling – as seen through the lens of its football world. The book explores the history, politics and geopolitical dimensions of the game: how it began, how it evolved and how it became the country’s greatest sporting passion. It reveals how political machinations and behind-the-scenes manoeuvring disrupted a World Cup squad mid-tournament; how two brilliant scientific minds came together to pioneer technological and scientific breakthroughs at a football club; and the recurring story of the USSR’s underachievement on the world stage despite its vast resources and talent. All of this unfolds under the shadow of a political system that sought to control, manipulate and micro-manage the game at every level. It is a football story like no other.

Homesick
From the author of the Orwell Prize-winner SHOW ME THE BODIES: HOW WE LET GRENFELL HAPPEN, the gripping story of how housing defines a city's past, present and futureA Waterstones Book of the Year 2025'Apps set the gold standard with his Grenfell coverage. With Homesick, he dismantles the sham of UK housing policy – razor-sharp, stylish, and morally unflinching.' Darren McGarveyIn London, only those with vast cash deposits can get on the property ladder, private rents have spiralled out of control and the wait for social housing is measured in decades. Once vibrant communities are being uprooted, schools are closing down and homelessness is rampant. It was not always like this. In the 1980s, builders and nurses could afford family-sized homes, there was abundant social housing and long-term security for private renters. Tracing the last forty years of housing policy, Peter Apps examines this transformation, following a diverse group of Londoners as their fortunes rise and fall across the decades amid the economic forces sweeping through the city. With clear-eyed urgency, he reveals what will happen when a generation of renters retires and climate change brings fire and flood to a city unprepared for extremes. He also gives us reason to hope, exploring the ways London can transform again: from a market for private profit to a place that once more offers permanence, safety and opportunity for its citizens. A place to call home.

Nicola Harding
Having moved around a lot as a child, Harding has always been interested in creating homes that evoke a sense of belonging. After designing several homes for herself, what began as a passion grew organically into a thriving career. Today Harding is known for her quintessentially British, reassuringly familiar interiors that mix traditional charm with rich atmosphere. A sense of meaning comes from deftly weaving together expertly sourced antiques and luxurious fabrics, married with craftsmanship that has a particular significance for example, a supplier who works in a village near where a client grew up, or antiques from local dealers. With a calming, nature-inspired palette, Harding s residential projects embrace English country-house coziness and radiate a warmth that makes each place feel personal and well lived in, while her hospitality commissions are bold and spirited, often inspired by literary or historic characters. This first book delves into Harding s design philosophy, which, at its heart, prioritizes human experience above all else.
