Az illusztrált Vaják – Az utolsó kívánság
Ez az album A vaják című regénysorozat első kötetének utolsó novelláját, Az utolsó kívánságot kelti életre, amely Geralt és Yennefer találkozását meséli el. Geralt és Jaskier békés horgászás közben véletlenül kiszabadít egy amforába zárt dzsinnt.
A trubadúr csak egyetlen kívánságot tud kimondani, mielőtt az elszabadult lény erőszakos támadást indít ellene. Geralt a szomszéd városba, Rindébe viszi súlyosan megsebesült útitársát. Ott azt tanácsolják neki, hogy keresse fel az egyetlen személyt, aki gyógyító varázslatot képes végrehajtani, Vengerbergi Yennefert. Geralt ekkor még nem tudja, hogy sorsa örökre összefonódik a varázslónőével…
Egy író és egy festőművész találkozása. A videójáték világsikere, a Netflix kiemelt sorozata. Andrzej Sapkowski műve, A vaják univerzuma megihlette Mikaël Bourgouin illusztrátort. Ríviai Geralt világának eddig nem látott ábrázolása.

Half-Blood - Félvérek - Szövetség 0.5 és 1.
Meg fogod ölni azokat, akiket szeretsz. A véredben van, ez a sorsod.
A tizenhét éves Alex és édesanyja három éve szökött el a Szövetségből. Itt tanulnak az istenek tisztavérű leszármazottai, az olyan félig halandókat pedig, mint Alex, arra képezik ki, hogy elpusztítsák a tisztákra veszélyes daimónokat. Amikor azonban Alex egy támadás után kénytelen visszatérni a Szövetségbe, két lehetőség áll előtte: vagy a tiszták szolgálója lesz, vagy kétszer olyan keményen edz, mint a többiek, hogy behozza a lemaradását.
Bár a második lehetőség tűnik a könnyebb útnak, a dolgok még bonyolultabbá válnak, amikor a tisztavérű Aiden önként jelentkezik arra, hogy felkészíti a lányt. Aiden ugyanis nemcsak vonzó, hanem tökéletesen megérti Alexet. De a szabályok szerint a tiszták és a félvérek között szigorúan tilos bármiféle kapcsolat.
Csakhogy nem az Aiden iránt érzett szerelme jelenti a legnagyobb problémát Alex számára – megtudja, hogy az anyja miért vitte el a Szövetségből, és a daimónok is egyre közelebb kerülnek hozzá. Ha életben akar maradni, fel kell vennie a harcot… Még akkor is, ha ezzel önhibáján kívül mások halálát okozza majd.
A kötet tartalmazza a Daimón előzménytörténetként szolgáló kisregényt is, ami minden eseményt elindított!
Tedd teljessé az élményt!

Delusions of Paradise
When Maiwand Banayee was 16, he wanted to become a suicide bomber for the Taliban. In this inspiring tale of survival and self-discovery, the reader will follow Maiwand's journey down a dark path and his ultimate redemption. Growing up in Kabul amid the Afghan wars, he witnessed atrocities that no child should ever see - rotting corpses, starving families, a neighbourhood torn apart. He escaped to a refugee camp in Pakistan, where religious militants began the gradual grooming of Maiwand and other Afghan boys. These confused and traumatised children were indoctrinated, radicalised and prepared to die in the name of a religious war. But Maiwand escaped this life. Fleeing Afghanistan, he had a life-altering crisis of faith, confidence and meaning, finding new purpose and rebuilding himself. Maiwand taught himself how to read and write in English, and here tells his astonishing story in crystalline prose. Delusions of Paradise offers a powerful warning about the dangers of radical religion, and is a stunning celebration of self-determination and redemption from an important new voice. AUTHOR: Maiwand Banayee was born in in Kabul at the onset of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. By the time he was twelve the country was engulfed in civil war and he fled to a refugee camp, where he enrolled in a madrassa and joined the Taliban. At 22 he rejected Islamic extremism and sought asylum in the UK, eventually living in Ireland before returning to England. He has been published in Stinging Fly and War, Literature & the Arts: An International Journal of the Humanities. This is his first book.

Portrait in Sepia
‘If you were thrilled by The House of the Spirits, you'll love this’ Marie ClaireAs a young girl, Aurora del Valle suffered a brutal trauma that erased the first five years of her life from her mind. Raised by her ambitious grandmother, she grows up with privilege, comfort and everything she could ask for. But while she is free of the limitations that most other women face, she is tormented by terrible nightmares. When she finds herself alone at the end of an unhappy love affair, she decides to explore the mystery of her past, to discover what had such a devastating effect on her young life all those years ago. Portrait in Sepia is both a magnificent historical novel set at the end of the nineteenth century in Chile and a marvellous family saga, peopled by characters from Daughter of Fortune and The House of the Spirits.

Sharp Practice
A dark Scottish legal thriller featuring a defence lawyer caught between violent crime, political power, and a case that refuses to stay contained. If there were no bad people, there’d be no good lawyers. A missing baby. A doctor facing ruin. A drug dealer accused of murder.

As Robbie pushes for answers, evidence vanishes, stories shift, and cases that should have nothing in common start to overlap. Soon he is drawn into a net of deceit that reaches far beyond the courtroom. And as it tightens, it’s clear events are being steered from the shadows. With his ex-cop father causing chaos, an old flame back in his life, and pressure mounting from every direction, Robbie is forced to make a call: protect himself or keep digging. Because this time, the truth isn’t just hard to prove—it’s dangerous to uncover. Sharp Practice is Book 3 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series.

Mr Moonlight
The definitive biography of Brian Epstein – the man who made the Beatles – by leading Beatles biographer Philip Norman. Brian Epstein didn’t just manage the Beatles – he transformed them into the most famous band the world has ever known. A young record-shop owner from Liverpool, he took four relatively unknown musicians and set out to make them ‘bigger than Elvis’, changing pop music, celebrity and British culture forever. Only a few years older than John, Paul, George and Ringo, he called them ‘the Boys’, guiding, protecting and relentlessly believing in them as no one else did. Without Brian Epstein, there would have been no Beatles as we know them. Brian’s achievement in a profession in which he had no experience remains astonishing. A passionate devotee of classical music, he was nevertheless instrumental in shaping a new kind of pop that would revolutionise its sound, its business and Britain’s image around the world. Yet for all his achievements, he received no public honour – and scarcely any thanks. Drawing on a remarkable cache of exclusive interviews with those closest to him, Philip Norman delivers the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of this complex, conflicted and ultimately tragic figure. Mr Moonlight reveals the depths of Brian’s many trials and tribulations – how he almost lost the Beatles to organised crime; the antisemitism and homophobia he endured even at the height of his success; his intense and fraught relationship with John Lennon; and the haunting circumstances of his lonely death during the so-called Summer of Love. At once revelatory and deeply moving, Mr Moonlight restores Brian Epstein to his rightful place at the heart of the Beatles’ story.

Multinational Order
US multinational firms are crucial actors that shape and sustain the rules of the world order. They inherit the advantages conferred by US informal power and generally guide the substance of US foreign economic policy. When they expand abroad to take advantage of the opportunities provided by international rules, their foreign investments anchor their interests and lead them to build political influence. Multinationals do not always win; but the main constraints on their power arise within the US political system. They generally prevail when they credibly link their private interests to public interests and generally fail when their profits clash with prevailing elite views of national security. This book presents sophisticated economics in readable terms and traces a detailed history of the emergence of order in trade, finance, decolonization, development, property rights and intervention since 1945 and into the twenty-first century.
