Rose in Chains
The war is over, the dark forces have won, and the hero who was supposed to save them is dead.
Captured as her castle is overrun by the enemy, Princess Briony Rosewood is stripped of her magic and auctioned off to the highest bidder.
She’s sold to Toven Hearst: scion of a family known for their cruel control of magic – and her long-time, and unresolved, infatuation. Yet despite the horrors of her new world and the role she must learn to play within it, all is not lost.
Help – and hope – may yet arise in the most unlikely of places…
New York Times bestselling author Julie Soto crafts a lush romantic fantasy that's filled with intrigue, magic, and an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance.
Wombat Waiting
From the Newbery Award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan and Odder comes a stunning new middle grade standalone novel about compassion, resilience, and surprising friendships, following a dog named Wombat in the aftermath of a catastrophic fire.
Wombat isn’t actually a wombat?but when the homeless dog is discovered, singed and ash-covered after a terrible fire destroys a community, someone tags her with the nickname and it sticks.
Wombat is a “destiny dog.” Something inside of her (she nicknames it “Voice’) keeps telling her there’s a special someone out there who is meant to be her person.
Surrounded by a devastated town, Wombat takes up residence on bench near the makeshift community center, an old brick warehouse that, for the most part, survived the flames. A small part of the community center evacuation site has been repurposed for the local wildlife rehab sanctuary that burned down. All of the animals were spared, and the temporary quarters include an elderly fruit bat and a young Northern saw-whet owl.
No matter what, Wombat refuses to move from her perch, despite the efforts of many humans. Clearly the dog is waiting for someone. But for whom? And what are the odds they survived?
Fans of modern classics like Because of Winn-Dixie, Pax, and Katherine Applegate’s own Crenshaw and Odder, and timeless tales like Charlotte’s Web, will find a friend in Wombat and her story.

Apple in China
What if the greatest business success story of the twenty-first century was hiding the West's gravest mistake?
For two decades, Apple poured billions into China, training millions of workers and building the most advanced supply and manufacturing system in history. But those same investments transferred knowledge, skills and power, handing China the tools to challenge America's dominance and putting Apple in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers.
Based on hundreds of exclusive interviews, Patrick McGee's gripping exposé reveals Apple's vulnerability for the first time - and shows how one company's triumph inadvertently reshaped the global balance of power.

Vydáme se za šlechtickými rody, které formovaly život zdejších obyvatel i krajinu, a navštívíme jejich sídla, z nichž některá se po letech devastace opět pomalu probouzejí k životu. Neujde nám ani zajímavá historie ašských svatostánků a mnoha kostelů, kapliček a dalších drobných sakrálních památek v okolí. Zjistíme, že Ašsko je rovněž místem, kde se odehrávaly pochmurné události našich novodobých dějin. Dostane se také na svobodné zednáře, tajemné pověsti, lidovou magii a pověry. Na skok se podíváme i k německým sousedům, města, městečka a vesnice na druhé straně hranice určitě stojí za vidění. Knihu doprovází velké množství starých fotografií a pohlednic i současných snímků. Tak tedy vítejte na Ašsku, račte vstoupit.
Thorn Season
ONLY THE SHARPEST WILL SURVIVE
"Court is filled with charming vipers," I said, chin lifted.
"But charming or not, we are vipers all the same."
In the Kingdom of Daradon, a persecuted few are Wielders - able to exert a physical power that extends beyond their visible body: a shimmering tendril that can pick a lock, a gentle coil that reaches out to give a loving caress, or an inexorable rope that will kill a man before he knows it is around his neck. Feared and mistrusted for this ability, Wielders have always been Hunted.
Alissa Paine - heiress of a noble lineage, daughter of a Hunter family - is also a Wielder. And as she approaches her eighteenth Season, Alissa knows she has escaped execution so far only through painful self-control, and the fragile efforts of her beloved father.
Summoned to the harsh and glittering royal court for the debutante season, Alissa finds herself trapped in a web of hidden intentions - and caught between two equally dangerous men. One is a brutal ruler with the handsome face of a fairytale prince, who would see her destroyed in an instant if the truth were known - and the other a beguiling foreign ambassador with secret agendas of his own.
It's Rose Season at the palace, but Alissa knows that survival will depend on being the most vicious of the thorns…
WIELD YOUR POWER. GUARD YOUR SECRET. SURVIVE THE HUNT.
Sharp, funny, sexy and dangerous, and packed full of irresistible twists, Thorn Season is an unforgettable novel that marks the introduction of a major new YA voice.

Voices of Victory
Discover the forgotten story of Britain’s final bloody battles against Nazi Germany in this Sunday Times top ten bestseller. Based on audio interviews with those who fought their way to victory, Voices of Victory is a compelling and immersive account of a crucial period in the Second World War by the bestselling author of D-Day: The Unheard Tapes. February, 1945. Eight months have passed since the D-Day landings, when the Allies gained their foothold in North-West Europe. Since then the British Army has fought near continuously against the German military. Now, they stand ready for their final test: the battle for the German homeland. Drawing on the sound archive of the Imperial War Museums and other personal accounts, military historian Geraint Jones brings this often-overlooked period of the war vividly to life in the words of British soldiers who were there, from war-weary men who have survived many months of combat to new recruits facing Hitler’s fanatics for the first time. In Voices of Victory we join the soldiers battling to break through the Siegfried Line and clear the Reichswald forest, where fighting was from one tree to the next. At the crossing of the Rhine we go into action with the commandos, and jump behind enemy lines with the Paras. We are taken into the horror of Belsen when the concentration camp is liberated, hear from the witnesses of the forgotten battles of April, and end the war deep in Germany, with victory in Europe. ‘Enthralling and enlightening . . .

Tank
'Punchy. Trenchant. Heavyweight. Mark Urban’s Tank blows the doors off, just as you’d expect from such an accomplished author. Take cover!’ Damien Lewis, author of SAS Great EscapesAn authoritative history of the tank and the remarkable individuals who designed them and fought in them, from a former officer and best-selling historianTanks are the ultimate embodiment of industrial age warfare. In the popular imagination, they represent both a terrifying beast of destruction and a potent symbol of liberation. The technology behind these war machines has evolved relentlessly, and yet the coming of the information age has led many to predict that drones, missiles, and Artificial Intelligence have made the tank obsolete. Time and again, however, tanks have continued to shape – and be shaped by -- battles around the world, from their introduction in 1916, through the Second World War and tank-on-tank fights in 1990s Iraq, to the current conflict in Ukraine. In TANK, best-selling historian and former officer in the Royal Tank Regiment Mark Urban draws on wide-ranging accounts from soldiers, designers, and politicians, from Winston Churchill to Volodymyr Zelensky, to tell the remarkable story of one of the most important developments in military history. Through the ten most important vehicles ever made, Urban chronicles the incredible advances in tank technology – starting with the Mark IV, the first British tank to be used in large numbers in WW1, and following the story through the T-34 and Tiger to the M1 Abrams, a product of huge American Cold War investment that is still used to this day. Officially supported by The Tank Museum and using never-before-seen archival sources, interviews and declassified documents, this is a fascinating history of the vehicle that changed conflict forever. ‘An illuminating and exciting drive through the mud and blood of twentieth-century warfare' Dr Robert Lyman, author of Operation Suicide
