Eclipsed Empire - Wolves of Crescent Creek 2
From TikTok sensation Tessa Hale comes the second in a why-choose, enemies-to-lovers shifter romantasy series where everyone has demons and love means sacrifice.
One secret tore my life apart.
It sent me running from the place I thought I would be safe, right into the path of untold enemies.
But when my life is in danger, the wolves I thought I'd lost for good are the ones who come for me. And they'll burn down the world to keep me safe-even if none of us trusts each other anymore.
With every moment we're forced together, every whispered apology and stolen touch, my resolve to keep them at a distance weakens. And when I realize just how much each of these men has come to mean to me, that resolve crumbles to dust.
Only there are more secrets to uncover-all our pasts lurking in the shadows. And when the monsters emerge from the darkness, there's no escaping them this time…
Svatý Prokop
Inspirací pro vznik této knihy bylo výročí 820 let od Prokopova svatořečení. Podílel se na ní mezioborový tým historiků, archeologů, uměnovědců, filologů i teologů a přináší nové pohledy na život a kult tohoto významného českého patrona i na jím založený Sázavský klášter. V pěti celcích se zabývá například otázkou staroslověnské liturgie a písemnictví, novými archeologickými výzkumy a architekturou Sázavského kláštera i prokopským kultem. Čtenáře také provází vybranými ukázkami proměn kanonizačních procesů od nejstarších počátků až do současnosti. Samozřejmě se zastavuje také u Prokopovy velmi diskutované středověké kanonizace. To vše je navíc několika kapitolami doplněno o středoevropský kontext kultu světců. Na počátku promýšlení koncepce této prokopské knihy stál prof. Petr Sommer a její vytváření podporoval také Dominik kardinál Duka.

There he meets Jules and her friends, and what begins as a single night of reckless adventure turns into a secret double life—and a seemingly impossible romance that forces Paolo to reckon with who he is, where he belongs, and the importance of being true to himself.Rendered in vibrant watercolor illustrations that bring every scene to vivid life, Salvage is as much a visual masterpiece as it is a moving tale of love and self-discovery.
