Ashbourne 1: Pod jednou střechou
Abigail přijme přes léto práci na ranči v Ashbourne v naději, že si konečně urovná život, který se jí pod rukama rozpadá rychleji než vztahy její matky. Potřebuje pauzu, odstup a klid.
Rozhodně ve svých plánech nepočítá s Gideonem Coltranem – mrzutým šerifem, který má nulovou toleranci ke změnám. Ačkoli je však Gideon chodící osina v zadku, jiskří to mezi nimi víc, než by po prvním setkání čekali.
Abigail si na ranči rychle zvyká a nachází nové přátelé. V novém prostředí se snaží vyřešit jak záležitosti ze své minulosti, tak osobní výzvy, kterým je vystavena.
A aby toho nebylo málo, Abigail začne dostávat podivné vzkazy a sílí v ní pocit, že ji někdo sleduje. Její „poklidné léto“ se rychle mění v sérii nečekaných událostí. A zatímco minulost na ni tlačí ze všech stran, přítomnost si nachází cestu přímo k jejímu srdci.

Struny naděje
Když celý život slýcháte, že nejste dost... co když jedno místo a jeden člověk všechno změní?
Třiadvacetileté Maddie zemřela matka, a i když byl jejich vztah bolestivý, plný prázdných lahví a nevyřčených slov, zanechal v ní ticho a vinu, které bolí ještě víc. Nemá plán, má jen sešit plný textů a sen psát písně, které by jednou mohly něco znamenat. A právě ve chvíli, kdy neví, co dál, přichází nabídka od jejího strýce – slavné country hvězdy Briana Harleyho, kterého tři roky neviděla.
Jeho dům v Tennessee je všechno, co už tak dlouho nezažila. Bezpečný a plný hudby a tepla. Jenže Brian tam nebydlí sám. Jejím novým spolubydlícím je i Nathaniel, uzavřený muž, který se od začátku nebojí dát najevo, že o její přátelství nestojí.
Každý akord, každý text, každý pohled, to všechno Maddie pomalu vrací zpět k sobě samé. A k životu, ve kterém si poprvé dovolí věřit, že za něco stojí a že její matka neměla pravdu.
Jak moc musíme ztratit, abychom mohli začít znovu? Co všechno se vejde do jedné písně? A splní si Maddie svůj sen?

Az örökkévaló (Különleges kiadás)
Egy legenda. Egy hazugság. Egy felejthetetlen szerelem.
Ez a történet ott kezdődik, ahol majd véget is ér: a tiszafa alatt. Ez az ősi fa oly hatalmasra nőtt, hogy egy külön világot alkot; azt beszélik, a lombja alatt másképp telik az idő. Miután egy árva lány kihúz egy kardot a kérgéből, sir Örökkévaló Una néven lovaggá és nemzete legnagyobb hősévé válik.
Évszázadokkal később Owen Mallory, a bukott katona és nehézségekkel küszködő tudós beleszeret Una legendájába. A nő története háborúba, poros levéltárak mélyére, végül pedig egyenesen a múltba vezeti. Owen azért utazik vissza az időben, hogy Una biztosan beteljesítse a sorsát... még ha ez minden alkalommal össze is töri a férfi szívét.
Kettejük élete különös módon kapcsolódik össze: arra ítéltettek, hogy újra és újra eljátsszák ugyanazt a hősies tragédiát, hogy a legenda ezer év múltán is fennmaradjon.
Az egyik találkozásuk során azonban valami megváltozik, és ez hatással lehet a végzetükre is. Mindketten rájönnek arra, hogy egy új befejezés írásához nemcsak magát a történelmet kell megváltoztatniuk, hanem azt is, amit eddig magukról hittek. És ehhez életük legnehezebb küzdelmét kell megvívniuk.
Alix E. Harrow, a Tízezer ajtó és A Starling-ház sikerszerzője eddigi legambiciózusabb műve igazi csúcspont az életművében, letehetetlen könyv a legendákról, szerelemről és árulásról – arról, amiért fantasyt olvasunk.

Bionauták
A Sirius A csillag körül keringő karneusz nem bolygó és nem aszteroida: egy hatszáz kilométer átmérőjű, kőzetbőrrel védett élőlény, amelynek testéből az emberiség évtizedek óta bányássza a különböző luxusélelmiszerek, kozmetikumok és gyógyszerek alapanyagát. A kitermelésből született meg a Venter-dinasztia multimilliárdos vállalatbirodalma és a Föld kényelmes hazugsága, hogy a karneusz nem érző lény.
Yis Venter, a család ifjú örököse a csillaghoz érkezve egy életre szóló kalandot remél: végre találkozhat a legendás űrfelfedezővel, a húsbányászatot irányító Julia Pollarddal, és bejuthat a karneusz belsejébe, ahová a legtöbb ember sosem merészkedne.
Ám nem tudja, hogy Pollardot csempészettel vádolják meg, és a családja nem látogatóba érkezik, hanem elszámoltatni a nőt. Pollard azonban nem tolvaj, és nem adja meg magát. Felismeri, hogy Yis védelmet jelenthet a számára, ezért menekülése során magával ragadja a fiút.
Miközben Yis és Pollard a karneusz egyre veszélyesebb részeibe sodródik, a húsvilág mélyén idegen szervek, makrofág ragadozók, eltűnt expedíciók és titkos bázisok mögött felsejlik egy fenyegetés, amelynek árnyékában a Föld hatalmi játszmái jelentéktelenné zsugorodnak.
Markovics Botond új regénye grandiózus sci-fi-odisszea a hús univerzumában. Egy sodró tempójú történet a felfedezés megszállottságáról, a személyes áldozatokról és egy idegen entitásról, amely talán egyfajta ítélet az egész emberiség felett.

The Last Run
On the bracing edges of Alaska, a single mother is driven to secure her legacy in a powerful novel of family, forgiveness, and finding one’s place in the world by the author of Point of Direction. It’s been years since Ellie fished the Alaskan coastline—not since her mother died. But when she finds her father beat up behind the local bar, she learns he’s done the unforgivable: gambled away the family’s commercial fishing boat—her five-year-old son’s inheritance and the life she longs to reclaim. For nefarious reasons of his own, the bookie gives them one season to earn the money to buy it back. Ellie agrees to fish with her father, Pete, bringing her son, Drew, along as they chase the slim hope of paying off the debt. She’s no stranger to backbreaking work and little sleep; what she’s never been good at is accepting help—or trusting anyone, especially a secretive homesteader with demons of his own. Ellie’s growing attraction and the dangerous waters are the least of her worries. She’s hiding secrets from everyone and, as the date with the bookie draws closer, she is at risk of losing it all.

Praised as a book that 'brings you luck the moment you open it', this book contains lessons on how to understand - and use - the psychology of luck. Why are successful people so obsessed with luc? ecause they want to draw things of value to them.

In The Psychology of Luck, Min Ji Yoo focuses on how successful people harness their luck to attract success - and how we can too.

In this book, she reveals the surprising truths that you can enrich your life in many ways, simply by changing your attitude and psychological approach to luck. Each chapter offers life lessons about luck and abundance - as well as approaches that quiet those anxieties that weigh us down. From 'live according to your instincts' to 'the more grace you give, the less pain you receive', Min Ji Yoo demonstrates that self-knowledge, worldly wisdom and luck are essential to becoming rich - whether measured in money, love, health or spiritual terms.
The Way It Haunted Him
A terrifying and powerful dark academia novel about Jewish folklore, grief, and other things locked in the archives. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Tori Bovalino and Sunyi Dean. "It's real. You'll see."Michael Stein arrives at the Schechter Institute for Judaic Studies in upstate New York, battered and broken after the death of his boyfriend seven months prior. Blaming himself for the accident that killed him, Michael has come to the Institute to complete his boyfriend's dissertation as part of his effort at repentance. While Michael's own past leads him to condemn superstition as a way to mask prejudice and old-fashioned beliefs, his boyfriend's research argues that the folktales told in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe were based in truth, and that demons and other creatures walked the earth, wreaking havoc on peoples' lives. Instead of the Institute's infamous archivist, Michael is met by his grandson, Jacob Schechter, who has taken over the archive after his grandfather's death. A firm believer in the existence of the supernatural, Jacob explains that the archive plays host to a coterie of household demons. Michael insists that he is a skeptic, but strange and frightening occurrences plague his research, causing Michael to question both his sanity and his view of the world. To cope with his guilt, grief, and the terrifying shadows following him, Michael must reckon with the events leading up to his boyfriend's death-and his role in it-by trusting the enigmatic Jacob to help uncover the truth. As untangling the mysteries of the past bring Jacob and Michael closer together, their respective secrets threaten to tear them apart. Because Michael is not the only one with darkness on his conscience, and if he and Jacob discover the truth of each other, only one of them may survive the fallout.

So Young, So Great
When Bob Feller hit the Major League Baseball scene, he instantly became one of the most famous athletes in the country. Everything Feller did made headlines, primarily because anything he did had never been done before, especially by someone his age. To this day, Feller is the only pitcher to have signed his first professional contract and played in the Major League while still in high school. By the age of seventeen he had set an American League record for most strikeouts in a game, and by nineteen, he had broken his own Major League strikeout record. So Young, So Great covers the first six years of Feller's career, from 1936 to 1941, from his discovery in the small town of Van Meter, Iowa, as a high school junior, to his immediate entry into the Major Leagues with no minor league detours, the extensive media coverage of his every move and his box office appeal to fans, and his record-breaking feats up to his enlistment into World War II at age twenty-two. Before signing a contract with the Cleveland Indians, Feller was a prospect of such magnitude that Major League scouts were fighting in hotel lobbies to get to Feller, still a minor, to sign a Major League contract. His high school graduation was broadcast nationally on radio. And when he had to have his wisdom teeth removed, a photographer and reporter were in the room to document it. By focusing on the first six years of Feller's career, So Young, So Great captures in revelatory detail Feller's unprecedented arrival, as a high school teenager, on the Big League stage, and his rapid ascension into one of the game's all-time greats.
Cities of Dust and Mud
This book explores the social costs of urban change and the limits of modernity through a comparative study of two Balkan cities, Belgrade and Sofia. Between 1820 and 1920, both cities grew from small Ottoman towns into large national capitals, as their bourgeois elites envisioned new, urban societies on the European borderlands. This book traces the lofty ambitions and dire consequences of this project: situated on the periphery of global capital flows, elite-led attempts at remaking Balkan capitals into European cities relied on dispossession, brutal labor control, and real estate speculation, while failing to achieve their goals of exponential growth. Drawing on a rich array of archival sources, Miloš Jovanovic considers the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Belgrade, municipal corruption in Sofia, anxieties over sex work and the regulation of intimacy, and attempts at creating docile workers through policing and prisons. Bringing working people to the forefront, he shows how the modernity envisioned by elites failed to transform their lives for the better, and how urban residents developed a nostalgia for the Ottoman city as a critique of their contemporary moment. Going beyond the limits of national frameworks, this book transforms our understanding of Balkan history, national modernization, and the role of fantasy in capitalist societies, offering keen insights for today's era of growing inequality.

Our heroes must unite one final time, combining their unique skills to stop the destruction before Earth falls. The story blasts off right after the explosive cliffhanger of Volume 2, with Dr. Kisaragi cheating death and the rogue witch Ayame flipping sides in a jaw-dropping betrayal. With the team fractured and trust in short supply, humanity's last hope is on the ropes. As the threat escalates, the line between science and sorcery blurs. New alliances form, shocking truths are uncovered, and the battle for Earth becomes a fight for the soul of humanity itself. From the mind of enigmatic creator Nykken (Gakuen x Fuusa) and the razor-sharp artwork of Toy(e), Toxic Super Beasts Volume 3 is the most high-octane, heart-pounding chapter yet. Packed with betrayal, bombshells, and beasts like you've never seen before, this volume raises the stakes in every possible way.
