Eclipse of the Crown - Villains and Virtues 3
From indie sensation A.K. Caggiano comes the epic third book in the Villains & Virtues series, perfect for fans of The Princess Bride, following a not-so-evil-anymore demon lord and the baroness responsible for his change of heart who finally must confront their feelings for each other, but how can they admit their attraction when the world is ending?
In the third installment of AK Caggiano's Villains and Virtues series perfect for fans of Sydney J. Shields and Kimberly Lemming, a demon lord and the baroness who's wormed her way into his heart try to find time to admit their feelings for each other. If only the world would stop ending long enough for them to do so..
Their destinies are irrevocably entangled, but will their bond finally be the realm's ultimate undoing?
Nothing about Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne's evil destiny has gone according to plan. The reason? A certain noblewoman who has somehow enmeshed herself in his softening heart.
Now back amongst his peers at Yvlcon, the preeminent congregation of the vilest and most unscrupulous villains, Damien's moral growth is threatened- and just when he was learning to be a little less evil too. Consequently, Lady Ammalie Avington, Daughter to the Baron of Faebarrow, finds her own virtue in peril when faced with so much temptation, namely in the form of a domineering blood mage she can't-or doesn't want-to say no to.
But a burgeoning romance is doused in the coldest of baths when the Grand Order of Dread commands Damien to once again face the swirling vortex of entropy that's been hunting them across the realm. The coming eclipse points to devastation and destruction, and with prophecy being, well, prophecy, annihilation seems impossible to avoid.
But there's an entire fortnight before the world is supposed to end, and surely that's enough time to find some way around it. . . or at the very least to confess one's devotion before it all.

From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Moon comes the Sweetverse: a scorching, emotional, why-choose omegaverse for fans of Katee Robert and Harley Laroux.
Lola is being hunted by her past, stalked with every step she takes. Sheltered with the pack of her dreams, at first it seems like the hardest challenge isn't even staying safe from Indy. Tensions at work are at a tipping point and after taking the role of management's spy, Lola's in the crossfire if anything goes wrong. As romances between Lola and the pack members are developing left and right, the woman who swore she wanted nothing to do with alpha is turning to them like a bloom to the sun.
If only it weren't just one monstrous alpha that twisted her own thoughts. Lola is quickly realizing that her worst enemy is herself, and it's like walking the tightrope to find a balance with the pack that gives her strength rather than sends her toppling to the ground.
But Indy won't be ignored. One way or another, he's determined to get his hands on her again. Lola needs more than a pack to shield her. She needs to be ready to fight.
In the Realm of the Last Man
In 1989, one year before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Francis Fukuyama - then an early-career academic who had cut his teeth conducting research for Ronald Reagan during his years as California governor - delivered a conference paper that would go on to become one of the most celebrated -and controversial - works of political theory of our time: The End of History. By 2009, he had broken with his neoconservative mentors, from Allan Bloom to Paul Wolfowitz, after recanting his support for the 'disastrous' invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the laissez-faire economics that produced the financial crash of 2008. But why did he change his mind? In this powerful political memoir, encompassing his father's involvement in the civil rights movement and his own work on CIA contracts in the 1980s, Fukuyama analyses his life alongside the seismic political shifts of the last thirty years - from Bush to Obama to Trump, from the War on Terror to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Profound and provocative, this is an intimate portrait of one of the twenty-first century's most important thinkers, an urgent study of contemporary politics - and a treatise on how the West can claw democracy back from the brink.

Stín a kletba
Špetkou soli, koštětem
všechno zlé vyháním ven.
S kufry plnými lektvarů a medicín se Jane Airová jednoho svěžího a jasného říjnového rána vydává čelit výzvě, jakou dosud ve škole pro osiřelé dívky nezažila.

Jane se svým novým nedůtklivým zaměstnavatelem těžko hledá společnou řeč, ale postupně se ukazuje, že to je to nejmenší – horší je tajemná síla, která jí brání v práci. Hrozeb přibývá, a to jak kolem Jane, tak kolem Rochestera, a ten jí navíc den ode dne připadá zajímavější a přitažlivější. Začíná mít obavy, že její znalosti bylinek a kouzel nebudou stačit, aby muže, který je jejímu srdci stále bližší, zachránila před hrozbou temnější a nebezpečnější, než si vůbec dokázali představit.

Kód lásky
Tvůj nový kolega? Neromantický, chladný a dost nečitelný…
Jako softwarová vývojářka u jedné seznamovací aplikace Emmy pevně věří na happy end, i když její vlastní milostný život momentálně stagnuje. Místo toho provozuje svůj tajný Broken Hearts Ghosting Service, který ženám dává odpověď na to, proč se jim muži, se kterými randily, úplně přestali ozývat – a mužům ukazuje, že jejich chování má následky.
Další na řadě je Leon, který po první schůzce ghostoval její nejlepší kamarádku. Leon je odmítavý, rezervovaný… a šíleně přitažlivý. A ještě ke všemu se z něj vyklube Emmyin nový kolega a bratr jejího šéfa. Právě Emmy ho má zasvětit do práce v kanceláři a spolu s ním start-up zachránit, čímž se s ním stále víc sbližuje.
Do takového neromantického chlapa by se ale nikdy nemohla zamilovat – nebo snad ano?
Svitupád
Po staletí se upíři volně potulovali světem, dokud se zčistajasna neobjevili Šedivci a během jediné noci nevyhubili polovinu jejich populace. Přeživší nalezli útočiště v posledním upírském městě, Svitupádu, kde platí jasná pravidla: pro chudé slabá krev, pro šlechtu ta nejlepší. A město nesmí nikdo z nich nikdy opustit.
Služebná Sam má těchto pravidel už plné zuby, stejně jako vymývání nočníků urozených tyranů a jejich nadřazenosti. Když je zavražděn syn prvního lorda a Sam narazí na jedinou stopu k pravdě o jeho smrti, chopí se příležitosti vydláždit si cestu do vyšší třídy a ke kvalitnější krvi vydíráním. Brzy se přidá k Pijavicím, skupině vzpurných služebných, které dělají těm nejhorším z hrozných ze života dvojité peklo. Zakrátko se ocitá po boku čaroděje, jenž se díky umění dedukce obejde i bez magie, smrtící vlkodlačí vražedkyně a hraběnky, která zná tajemství všech ve městě.
Má to však jeden háček. Co začalo jako vyšetřování vraždy, vedlo k odhalení rozsáhlého spiknutí vládnoucí elity. Sam proto musí rozkrýt pravdu dřív, než padne Svitupádu za další oběť. Pokud se nenechá zabít, možná dojde života věčného.
