Warlocks Get Witched
Witches, warlocks, farmers’ markets, and curses… it must be autumn on Star Island. When a soulmate shows up in the form of a shy librarian, Sage Bay does what any emotionally unavailable, overworked harvest witch would do—kisses him and bolts. Between managing the curse on her bloodline, dodging a persistent chaos warlock, and wrangling the fall harvest, Sage has zero time for love. Will, a warlock and the son of a storm witch, wasn’t prepared to meet his soulmate on a family vacation—especially when she turns out to be a stubborn, self-sufficient witch who wants nothing to do with him. But their love is written in the stars, and Will won’t back down without a fight. From farm stands and spellwork to ghosts demanding road trips and glimpses into past lives, Sage and Will must outrun a relentless enemy and survive long enough to give this centuries’ old love a chance to end in something other than heartbreak. Warlocks Get Witched is a cozy romantic fantasy with road trip romance, meddling witchy sisters, and fated mates who fall for each other across lifetimes.

A Fighter Pilot’s War
Richard Edgar Peter Brooker, always known as Peter to his family and friends, left school and joined the RAF in 1937. He was posted to 56 Squadron and in 1940 he served for several weeks as personal assistant to Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, before flying throughout the height of the Battle of Britain. In the spring of 1941, promoted to Acting Squadron Leader, Brooker commanded No.1 Squadron during the Blitz; for this he was awarded the D.F.C. After being posted to Singapore late in 1941, where he led Nos. 232 and 242 squadrons fighting the Japanese invasion, he was evacuated on the last flight out of Bandoeng, Java, to Australia in March 1942. For his gallantry, determination in the face of heavy odds during the fall of Singapore, Brooker was awarded a Bar to the D.F.C. In the spring of 1944, Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 123 Wing of Hawker Typhoons at RAF Thorney Island, in preparation for the liberation of Europe. Exhausted after an intensive spell of operational flying during and after D-Day, Brooker was taken off flying in July and sent to complete the Senior Staff Officers’ course at the RAF Staff College. At this time, he was awarded the DSO. In January 1945 Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 122 Wing operating Hawker Tempest Vs, initially in Holland and then in Germany. In this period he was awarded a Bar to his DSO – but it was an award that was made posthumously. It was from Rheine-Hopsten in Germany that Peter took off on the evening, of 16 April 1945, and failed to return, just twenty-two days from VE Day. His aircraft and his remains have never been accounted for. However, the answers to the mystery and controversy surrounding Brooker’s disappearance are finally revealed in this detailed biography.
The Fairy Courts
The Fairy Courts is an in-depth exploration of its subject, from the original Scottish to modern fiction, mapping out beliefs and how they have evolved. It covers the social structure of fairies, the history of the Scottish Seelie and Unseelie courts, the fairy courts outside Scotland, and it offers a look at how fairy courts are being adapted today in fiction and belief. The Seelie and Unseelie courts have become a staple in fiction and a common idea in pop culture, yet their origins and how they were and are understood in Scottish folklore have become obscure. The Fairy Courts discusses the history of belief as it is traced from the 1500s to today, concluding with a chapter about the ways that folk belief and anecdotes show us how a human might survive in a fairy court.

The Monkey on Frida's Shoulder
The Monkey on Frida’s Shoulder is an imaginative re-telling of the life of Frida Kahlo, seen through the eyes of her house pet Nat—a talking spider monkey with a taste for linguistics, haute couture, and detective novels. After fleeing the destruction of his native jungle, the orphaned monkey arrives in Mexico City in the early 20th century, where he forms an unlikely bond with spirited young Frida Kahlo. Together they roam the city streets, their mischief tinged with rebellion, as Nat pledges loyalty to Frida through devastating accidents, ideological battles, and her tempestuous marriage to Diego Rivera. But devotion has its limits. As Frida’s world grows darker and more insular, Nat is forced to confront the cost of loyalty and the need for moral clarity. His journey beyond the Casa Azul introduces readers to a pious Chihuahua, a shimmer of monarch butterflies, and the enigmatic guest Natalia Trotsky. Blending magical realism, absurdism, and Mexican history, Catherine Barrera’s debut novel reimagines one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century from an utterly original perspective. Both irreverent fable and love letter to Casa Azul, The Monkey on Frida’s Shoulder captures the blurred borders of magic, myth, and reality in a way that will resonate with fans of literary fiction, Latin American history, and Frida Kahlo’s enduring legacy.
Napnak és holdnak csillaga
Elora Forres a háború utáni Skócia egy elfeledett városában, Ravenmire-ban él, amíg egy naplóban talált latin mondat ki nem szakítja a saját idejéből, és 1677-be sodorja. Oda, ahol a klánok és nemesi házak közötti hatalmi harc mindennapos, a boszorkányokat üldözik, és szövetségek nélkül eltaposhatnak.
Elora hamar rájön, hogy nem bízhat senkiben, mégis kénytelen az őt védelmező klánvezér, Arden mellett maradni. A hazajutás lehetetlennek tűnik: nem emlékszik, hogyan került ide, és azt sem tudja, hogyan térhetne vissza. A beilleszkedés ígérete hamar szertefoszlik, amikor kiderül, hogy ő maga is boszorkány. Ám a mágia ebben a világban nem áldás, hanem átok. Minden varázsige fájdalomból születik, és az újabb képességek nyomot hagynak a testen vagy a lélekben. Elorának pedig muszáj túlélnie, és megtanulnia irányítani az erejét, amellyel megóvhatja azokat, akik ezen a helyen a családot jelentik számára.
Mindeközben a döntései nemcsak a saját sorsát alakítják, hanem Ardenét is, mikor megérti, hogy szeretni veszélyesebb, mint menekülni. Elora végül kénytelen szembenézni a félelmeivel, és eldönteni, hogy hajlandó-e lemondani mindarról, amit Ravenmire követel tőle – emlékekről, kapcsolatokról és akár a jövőjéről is.
Nerovně sjednoceni
Přestože od pádu Berlínské zdi uplynulo již víc než třicet pět let, zůstává Německo zemí, kterou stále prostupují rozdíly mezi bývalým Východem a Západem. Renomovaný německý sociolog ve své oceněné knize analyzuje, proč proces znovusjednocení nepřinesl očekávané vyrovnání životních podmínek, zkušeností ani identit. Na základě dat, výzkumů i osobních svědectví ukazuje, že rozdíly mezi bývalou NDR a západní částí země nejsou jen ekonomické, ale také kulturní, sociální a mentální.
Kniha je podnětná nejen pro pochopení německé reality, ale i složitého procesu společenské transformace po roce 1989 v dalších středoevropských postkomunistických zemích, tedy i v České republice. Osloví čtenáře se zájmem o sociologii, moderní dějiny i současné politické dění.

O co jde? - Proč Bohu záleží na sexu
Tato kniha pomůže vašim dětem porozumět přicházející pubertě. Citlivě, ale narovinu vysvětluje změny, které se brzy začnou odehrávat v jejich těle i mysli, a na rozdíl od běžné školní sexuální výchovy ukazuje všechny tyto proměny jako součást krásného Božího stvoření.
Tato kniha také dětem pomáhá lépe porozumět sexu. Možná o něm už něco slyšely – z internetu, televize nebo od spolužáků – ale tyto informace bývají často zkreslené a neúplné. Kniha ukazuje, že sex je Boží dar, který má prohlubovat lásku mezi manžely a upevňovat jejich rodinu.
A nakonec vám tato kniha pomůže otevřeně mluvit i o těžkých, ale důležitých tématech, jako je pornografie a sexuální zneužívání. Díky těmto rozhovorům se děti naučí, jak se chránit, a zároveň budou vědět, že se na vás mohou kdykoli obrátit o pomoc.
The Infinity Machine
A revelatory portrait of the visionary behind Google DeepMind, the race to control the future – and what it means to win.
Even in a tech world crowded with visionary leaders, Demis Hassabis is recognized as a special case. Born to working class, immigrant parents in North London, a chess prodigy by five and wizard coder in his teens, he turned down a seven-figure job offer from a video-game studio to study science at Cambridge. Long before the current obsession with AI, he founded the path-breaking company DeepMind in order to pursue a single, audacious goal: the dream of artificial superintelligence, which would solve humanity’s hardest problems, change life and work as we know it, and perhaps even unlock the deepest mysteries of the Universe. For his scientific achievements, he won a Nobel Prize in 2024, and his company, now Google DeepMind, is considered the tech giant’s engine room.
For the past three years, Sebastian Mallaby has had unprecedented access to Hassabis and DeepMind, conducting hundreds of hours of interviews with him and his inner circle as well as detractors and rivals at other companies. The result is a revelation-packed portrait of a singular mind and a historic reckoning with the AI revolution, a shift potentially more significant than any since the dawn of complex thought 70,000 years ago.
As Mallaby chronicles, DeepMind is locked in an arms race with Silicon Valley competitors to build artificial general intelligence, and thereby become the keeper of humanity’s future. Yet this is not a Silicon Valley story. Hassabis has remained in Britain, and unlike his rivals, his aims are not wealth and power but scientific enlightenment. Like them, however, he is haunted by the memory of Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the atom bomb. He aims to control the technology, but the technology may ultimately control him – and humanity writ large.
Liars and Liaisons
Vengeance always comes with a price.
Kissing a masked stranger wasn't on Violet Artinos's list of things she thought would happen at her cousin's political fundraiser. In fact, her plan was simply to show support, win back the ex-boyfriend rumoured to be in attendance, and go on with her off-grid life.
She never would've made a move on the stranger if she'd known he wasn't who she thought, but her ex's younger brother had other plans.
Out in public for the first time in weeks, Professor Grayson James has his sights set on revenge. When he spots Violet, he immediately ropes her into his plot by kissing and blackmailing her to live at his haunted estate.
He claims it'll drive his brother mad, but the truth turns out to be more complicated than they ever imagined. Suddenly, Violet's life of secrets is unravelling at the hands of a dark, depraved man who seems to have no intentions of letting her go.
But his obsession might be exactly what puts her in danger...
