ZRADÍ SVÉ KRÁLOVSTVÍ KVŮLI ZAKÁZANÉ LÁSCE? V království Marmoris je magie zdrojem moci… a král Roan si ji bez slitování bere od vlastního lidu. Uprostřed této tyranie vyrůstá králova dcera Verena, dívka bez magického nadání, která je vězněná v paláci plném lží a krutosti. Jednoho dne se jí však podaří od svého nelítostného otce utéct. Osud ji zavede mezi rebely, kteří vzdorují králově tyranii a vybudovali si skrytou říši mimo jeho dosah. Netuší, že narazili na ztracenou dceru nenáviděného krále. Mezi nimi je i Dacre, syn vůdce povstalců, jenž má jistá podezření, ale neznámá dívka ho od prvního okamžiku nebezpečně přitahuje. Verena dostane na výběr: buď se přidá ke vzbouřencům, čímž zradí vlastní rod, nebo zaplatí životem. Jenže čím déle skrývá pravdu o svém původu, tím víc mezi ní a Dacrem roste neukojitelná touha. A právě ta může rozhodnout o osudu celého království... Spalující romantasy, kde se láska prolíná se zradou a vášeň s nenávistí.

Pravda pro život


Dobrá zpráva, která vás každý den posouvá blíž k Bohu. Když čteme noviny, snažíme se porozumět naší společnosti, a když se díváme na své dějiny či budoucnost, potřebujeme Bibli, abychom si s tím vším dokázali poradit. Boží slovo je pravda, kterou potřebujeme, aby nás vedla každý den vezdejšího života a směrovala nás ke Kristu, v němž nacházíme skutečný život. Kniha, kterou držíte v ruce je denní čtení, protože člověk nežije jen chlebem, nýbrž každým slovem, které vychází z Božích úst (Mt 4,4). Boží slovo nás denně sytí a je pro naše duchovní zdraví stejně nezbytné jako jídlo pro zdraví tělesné. Některé dny pro vás bude čtení Božího slova potěšením, zatímco jindy ho budete číst spíš z povinnosti, ale každý den to je důležité. Boží slovo o sobě říká, že nám může dát „moudrost k záchraně skrze víru, která je v Kristu Ježíši“ a že tato Bohem vdechnutá slova jsou užitečná „k učení, k usvědčování, k napravování, k výchově ve spravedlnosti, aby Boží člověk byl takový, jaký má být, důkladně vystrojený ke každému dobrému skutku“ (2Tm 3,15–17). Rozhodněte se tedy otvírat Bibli každý den (a když si uvědomíte, že jste polevili, prostě se k tomu zase vraťte), protože Boží slovo je živé a činné a bude ve vás působit mnohem hlouběji a zásadněji, než svými pocity můžete vytušit. Boží řeč jsou slova, která potřebujeme. Proto je našim přáním, aby vám, milovaným Božím dětem, tato kniha změnila život, až vás k těmto slovům bude denně přivádět a Boží Duch vám bude skrze své slovo ukazovat Božího Syna. Alistair Begg je kazatel, teolog a hlavní vyučující Bible v rozhlasovém pořadu Truth For Life (Pravda pro život), který je dostupný po celém světě prostřednictvím rádia, podcastových aplikací, YouTube a webových stránek na truthforlife.org. V češtině mu vyšla kniha Odvážní ve víře (Didasko).

The Umbrella Man and Other Stories


Dallas, 22 November 1963. The main event is supposed to be downtown, on Main Street. News footage shows office workers leaning out of windows, peering at the motorcade through a blizzard of ticker tape. On the sidewalks, the crowds are fifty deep, a wall of noise and celebration. Everyone thinks this is the place to be. A few blocks away, in Dealey Plaza, the air is different. There is no ticker tape here. The crowds are thin. The only person filming is a dressmaker balanced on a concrete plinth. In this quiet corner, there's a man opening an umbrella even though it isn't raining, a construction worker in a hard hat who claims he was sent here by God, three tramps who stand on the verge of becoming suspects, an unidentified witness known only as the Babushka Lady, and many more. This is not a book about conspiracies or a lone gunman. This is a book about memory, about how we construct our shared history, and about what happens when your life is defined by a single, fleeting moment. It's about a group of real people who opted out of the main event before John F. Kennedy was assassinated, only to find themselves accidental witnesses to the most scrutinised six seconds of the twentieth century.

This Is No Game


Horse races. Slam dunks. The ground game. Sports metaphors are ubiquitous in American politics. In this book, Benjamin Darr catalogs and critiques the various ways that sports shape our popular perceptions of politics and elections, leading to misunderstandings, misconceptions, and mistakes in our expectations for democracy and how it should function. Seeing politics as a sport ultimately generates a warped conception of democracy which overlooks the people and glorifies elites. This happens via two broad paths. First, the role of the citizen is replaced by the fan, whose job is not to act in the common good, or even in on? own interests, but to cheer from the stands for on? favorite elite team. A second danger arises from an excessive focus on the strategy of the game of politics. This not only provides politicians with cover for broken promise? ut also points us to technical experts who tell us exactly how we should play the game, leading us toward micromanaged technocracy rather than democratic accountability. In these ways, thinking of politics as a sport often points us away from the ideals of democracy and instead toward the optimization of elite power.

The Great Arcanum


A pioneering analysis of Eliphas Lévi’s The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic, one if the most influential works of occult literature, exploring ceremonial magic, magical philosophy, cabala, hermeticism and more!The work of Eliphas Lévi has undoubtedly shaped the course of modern magic. The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic systemised magical theory and practice in a way that re-situated occultism as a serious field of academic study, moving it away from the fringes of society into a massive cultural force in the Western world. Chapters include discussion on cabala, sacred geometry, necromancy, astrology, enchantments, philosophy, and much more. But the transmission of Lévi’s work in the English-speaking was disrupted by the wider politics of contemporary occult circles, meaning that it was often ignored as a key text in occult schools and mystical traditions. Now, for the first time, The Great Arcanum – John Michael Greer’s groundbreaking analysis and commentary of The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic – changes this, uncovering the key themes and messages in Lévi’s work for use in magical study. Greer focuses specifically on how Lévi was able to so successfully revolutionise magical practice in the Western world, and the meanings that can be gleaned from his writing. Key themes discussed include the source of magical power; astral light as the foundation for magical phenomena; and using the tarot deck as a key to unlock the secrets of the occult tradition. The Great Arcanum delves right into the core of where modern magic was born, and will prove a stimulating and thought-provoking read for any serious student or practitioner of the occult.
