Letters from the Last Apothecary (Tressport Magic, Book 1)
EMILY WILDE meets DIVINE RIVALS in this debut cozy historical romantic fantasy about a grumpy apothecarist, the whirlwind woman who comes to save his shop, and the letters that secretly unite them. You've Got Mail with a magical twist! Nestled between steel skyscrapers lies a small shop stocked with old magic and experimental elixirs. This cozy historical romantic fantasy debut is a tale of mistaken identity, reluctant partnership, and the quiet, transformative magic of being truly seen—on and off the page. Josephine Pinova doesn’t believe in fate. Yet, it must be fate when she walks into one of the last magical apothecaries in the city and they offer her a job after she’s just been fired. Struggling against a tide of anti-magic sentiment amidst the city's rapid industrialization, the shop is slated to close in six short months unless Josie can save it. Luckily, she's no stranger to impossible odd—she's applying to study magic at the local university, something women are typically excluded from—even as the shop's prickly apothecarist, Aufidius Reid, seems determined to dislike her. Reid finds her unbearably insistent. She finds him infuriatingly uptight—nothing like the sensitive scholar Josie has been exchanging anonymous letters with as they study together for entrance to a graduate magic program. A scholar who just so happens to be Reid himself, unbeknownst to either of them. Letter by letter, they fall in love. But at work, Josie and Reid clash constantly about the direction of the business. As pressure rises, they discover the threat to the shop is more dangerous than they could have ever imagined, and working together to save it might be their only chance at true purpose, and at each other.
Instructions for the End of the World
Contemporary responses to biblical texts offer hope and guidance in difficult times.When lifelong activist and celebrated author Maggie Helwig became an Anglican priest, she brought both her social justice wisdom and her incomparable literary prowess to the role. Where other priests might make of the homily – the weekly act of taking pre-assigned sections of an ancient and sometimes cryptic biblical text and making them speak to their time, their place, their community – a rote exercise, Helwig takes the language and narrative very seriously. These homilies, selected from those presented to her congregation over the last five years, talk about the Bible, and by extension, the world, through both an activist and a literary lens.‘Instructions for the End of the World’ is how Helwig describes the gospels. As we live through the climate crisis and the rise of fascism around the world, Helwig’s responses to the ancient texts feel urgent and necessary, reminders of hope and meaning during a time of great anxiety and fear. Whether you’re religious or not, these homilies offer a basis for resistance and resources for building communities that may sustain us all.

Amikor a népszerű londoni magazin céltudatos, ám visszahúzódó szerkesztőnője és a sikeres, közvetlen New York-i fotóművész útja keresztezi egymást, fogalmuk sincs arról, hogy ez lesz az a bizonyos találkozás. A férfi ugyanis foglalt, a nő pedig ki nem állhatja az öntelt fotóst. De mi van akkor, ha a férfi már nem foglalt – és talán soha nem is volt öntelt?
A szakmájában sikeres és magabiztos két ember a magánéletben addig botladozik, mígnem egymás karjában kötnek ki. Mindenki meg van róla győződve, hogy egymásnak teremtették őket, és végre ők is elhiszik. Amikor azonban a pár rájön, hogy egyikük Londonban képzeli el a jövőt, és a családot akar, míg a másik Los Angelesről álmodik jegygyűrű és gyerek nélkül, ráeszmélnek, hogy az életnek talán más tervei vannak.
Miközben saját meggyőződésük mellett a múlt sötét titkai és a jelen tragédiái beárnyékolják a boldogságukat, el kell dönteniük: elég-e a szerelem, ha két ember ugyanannyira vágyik egymásra, mint amennyire fél elveszíteni önmagát? Mit tehet, aki rájön, hogy saját boldogsága útjában áll?
Két idősík, két makacs ember, egy szerelem.
A hétalvó pele, aki nem tudott elaludni
Itt az ősz, a hétalvó pelék már a téli alváshoz készülődnek. Ám a kis pele még nem álmos. Márpedig egy hétalvó, aki nem alszik, az nem is igazi hétalvó! Az állatok megpróbálnak segíteni neki, de egymás után nyomja el őket az álom. A kis hétalvó meg még mindig ébren van! Esti mese mindazoknak, akik nem tudnak elaludni.
A kis pelével sosem unalmas az élet: ő és erdei barátai a legjobb elalvós trükköket ismerik, a legmókásabb ötletekkel ébresztik fel az álmos pelegyerekeket, és még a legmorgósabbakat is képesek megnevettetni. Miért kell mindenkinek egy puha, ölelni való takaró? Hogyan lehet egy pillanat alatt elűzni a sötétségtől való félelmet? A történetek szívből és humorral mesélnek barátságról, bátorságról, összetartozásról és az esti elalvás apró nehézségeiről.
A Gyűjtő
Légy óvatos, nehogy bekerülj Dr. Burnett gyűjteményébe...
1826, Edinburgh. Isobel Tait egy rendhagyó orvosi gyűjtemény vitrinjében egy üvegbe zárt gyermekszívet pillant meg. A szív ritka rendellenessége kísértetiesen megegyezik a hónapokkal korábban eltűnt kisfia betegségével.
A városban egyre több ember tűnik el nyomtalanul, miközben Dr. Burnett, a hírhedt anatómus, újabb és újabb preparátumokkal bővíti bizarr kollekcióját. De vajon meddig hajlandó elmenni a tudomány nevében?
Isobel az orvos alkalmazottjaként férkőzik közel a titkaihoz, hogy megtudja az igazságot. Amit azonban felfedez, az minden képzeletét felülmúlja. Egy pokoli világ tárul fel előtte, ahol a tudomány szörnyű árnyékot vet az emberi lelkiismeretre.
Sötét hangulatú, érzelmekkel átszőtt történelmi krimi, amely mesterien egyensúlyoz igazság és megszállottság, anyai szeretet és bosszúvágy határán.
The Trinity
A striking triptych once displayed in countless African American households, the Trinity typically features Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr., and John F. Kennedy. More than decoration, these portraits were deliberate acts of memory and quiet resistance, a medium through which African Americans asserted their own narratives of hope, leadership, and the fight for justice.In this provocative history, Sharron Wilkins Conrad traces the Trinity across several decades, showing how African Americans didn’t merely remember the civil rights movement; they shaped its meaning. The Trinity reveals why Kennedy’s image hung beside King and Christ, while Lyndon B. Johnson, despite signing landmark legislation such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act, remained largely unheralded. Kennedy’s charisma, symbolic promise, and perceived martyrdom placed him among sacred icons, while Johnson—seen as transactional and confronted by the era’s growing impatience—never secured the same emotional legacy. In a gripping exploration of memory and meaning-making, Wilkins Conrad reveals how communities create historical truths by elevating some leaders, sidelining others, and preserving their own visions in defiance of the official record.

Where Time Its Silence Keeps
In the spirit of monk-poets Hanshan, Thomas Merton, and Philip Wallen
Trappist monk Paul Quenon spends his days in prayer, contemplation, and the monastery kitchen. These poems reflect those places and those moments. The Kentucky knobs play a role, as do the creatures and birds that live there. Nocturnal vigils, too, are important to the poems, and some of them were written like hymns to be sung rather than spoken. This is the work of a poet at the height of his powers, in his ninth decade of a life well-lived.
The book also includes a rare interview with the poet, which includes this: “I want a poem to be a poem. It is more than descriptive prose, more than an account of the state of my soul, a record of what I’ve experienced, information about my spiritual life. A poem steps into a space of its own. It nudges along with a spirit of its own, and is best when it surprises me. If I know ahead of time what I want to write, that is a drag and will bore the reader. Best to be free of pre-conceived ideas, and best when I’m obedient to the poem, to whatever it wants.” (Brother Paul Quenon)

The Gilded City of Dreams
In 1920s Manhattan, a young fairy godmother is caught in an evil conspiracy to control her sisterhood’s magic in a sweeping historical fantasy by the bestselling author of The Vine Witch.

Yet her excitement is tempered by the death of the Gardiennes’ leader, making Celeste and her fellow fairy godmother Anais caretakers of the sacred elder staff. Charged with returning the ancient relic to Paris, they set off for New York City to catch a steamship to France. But the 1920s Big Apple roars with danger in ways Celeste and Anais never anticipated. Upon their arrival, a street urchin steals the staff and disappears into the shadows. When Anais taps into her rebellious streak to search for the thief on her own, she falls into the clutches of a mysterious band of kidnappers who are seemingly aware of the magical possibilities the stolen staff can offer. To find Anais and retrieve the enchanted heart of the sisterhood, Celeste must rely on her wits, her magic, and her trust in a stranger—even if it means putting her friend at risk.

Spravedlivý růst
Rovné šance, efektivní reformy a prosperita širší společnosti jako lék na politickou strnulost Česko si udržuje spoustu drahých nespravedlností. Chudé děti mají malou šanci získat kvalitní vzdělání. Nízkopříjmové zaměstnance drtí daňový systém. Rodiče, cizince i předlužené vytlačuje legislativa z trhu práce. Veřejné systémy nemotivují ke zdravotní prevenci ani ekonomické iniciativě. Nic z toho už nemůžeme nazývat slepými skvrnami — a přesto statisíce lidí a celé regiony stále nedosáhnou na společný blahobyt. Česko kvůli tomu ekonomicky stagnuje a ztrácí společenskou soudržnost. Geopolitická situace a klimatická krize před nás přitom staví mnohem závažnější výzvy. Sociolog Daniel Prokop ukazuje, že potřebujeme spravedlivý růst. Česko poroste, jen když do prosperity spravedlivě zapojí všechny obyvatele. Zároveň musí překonat samospád, jímž se dnes řídí veřejné systémy. Část lidí se v nich ztrácí, zbytek využívá jejich mezery a slabiny a politika jen udržuje společenskou strnulost. Prokopova kniha ukazuje hloubku zdejších problémů a zároveň detailně popisuje reformy daní, dávek, vzdělávání, ale i samospráv či zdravotní prevence, které by Česko posunuly k prosperitě pro všechny.
