Valós Rémálmok
Amikor az ember azt hiszi, minden a helyére kerül, akkor jön egy újabb csapás.
Alicia visszatér Holtvölgybe, hogy helyre tegye azokat a dolgokat, amelyek a múltban megtörténtek: gyász, trauma, csalódás. Sok mindenen ment keresztül, ám az a célja, hogy legyőzze a fejében lakozó démonokat, hogy továbbléphessen, és boldog, nyugodt életet éljen. De ahogyan azt már megtanultuk, Holtvölgyben semmi nem olyan egyszerű.
Valaki ott lapul a sötétben. Valaki, aki nem képes továbblépni. Valaki, aki bármeddig hajlandó elmenni azért, hogy megkapja, amit akar.
Miközben Alicia igyekszik szabad lenni, és továbbra is meg akarja fejteni az egyik rejtélyes gyilkosságot, mely ezen a helyen történt, Olivér újra a lány kegyeiért teper. Ő sem adja fel könnyen, azonban ha igazán boldoggá akarja tenni őt, neki is szembe kell néznie valamivel. Azzal az énjével, melyet még ő maga sem ismer eléggé.
Vajon sikerül megküzdeniük az újabb nehézségekkel, vagy ezúttal végleg elnyeli őket a sötétség?

Whispers of You - Suttogások (Elveszítve & Rátalálva 1.)
Egy éjszaka, amely mindent elvett tőlem.
A testemet, ami helyrehozhatatlanul megsérült. A fiút, akiről azt hittem, hogy örökké az enyém marad. Az életet, amiről mindig is álmodtam.
Holt most visszatért. Csakhogy most már nem fiú, hanem férfi, akinek tekintetében árnyak lapulnak, és akit démonok kísértenek.
Azt mondja, azért jött, hogy mindent rendbe hozzon. Hogy visszaszerezzen egy kicsit mindabból, amit elveszítettünk. És esze ágában sincs elhagyni a kisvárost, amely a menedékemmé vált.
Ahogy a lopott pillanatok napokká nyúlnak, Holt mindenhol jelen van égő tekintetével és még sokáig kísértő érintéseivel. Falaim lassan leomlanak, és csak remélni tudom, hogy nem akkora esztelenség megragadni ezt a második esélyt, mint amilyennek tűnik.
Ám nem mindenki örül Holt visszatérésének. És amikor a tragédia újból lesújt, én kerülök célkeresztbe. Ezúttal talán Holt sem tud megmenteni…

30 proroctiev: Jeden príbeh
Objavte krásu Božieho slova cez proroctvá, ktoré sa naplnili v Ježišovi. Táto jedinečná kniha prináša 30 biblických proroctiev a zrozumiteľným spôsobom vysvetľuje ich význam a naplnenie v živote Ježiša Krista.
Vďaka prehľadnému grafickému spracovaniu, pútavým ilustráciám a zaujímavým informáciám o jednotlivých prorokoch sa čítanie stáva nielen poučným, ale aj príjemným zážitkom. Každá kapitola ponúka aj praktické zamyslenie, ako môžeme Božiu pravdu aplikovať v každodennom živote, a je doplnená o krátku modlitbu.
Kniha je vhodná najmä pre deti vo veku 8 – 14 rokov, no obohatí aj dospelých čitateľov. Je ideálnou voľbou ako duchovný darček, napríklad k prvému svätému prijímaniu.
Čo starozákonní proroci povedali o Božom Synovi? Komu to hovorili? Čo ich slová znamenali pre ľudí, ktorí žili v dávnych dobách? A ako to všetko súviselo s Ježišom? Odpovede na tieto a mnohé ďalšie otázky hľadá bohato ilustrovaná kniha 30 proroctiev: Jeden príbeh. Hoci je určená najmä pre deti a mládež, v mnohom príjemne prekvapí aj dospelých. Autor Paul Reynolds vybral zo Svätého písma tridsať proroctiev a podrobne vysvetľuje, ako sa Božie slovo naplnilo v Ježišovi, so zámerom vzbudiť v čitateľovi túžbu spoznať ho bližšie.
Nad slovami sv. Maxima Vyznávača - O láske 1
Sú knihy, ktoré človek prečíta a odloží, a potom sú také, ktoré sa stávajú spoločníkmi na celý život. K takým patrí aj dielo „400 textov o láske“ od svätého Maxima Vyznávača, ktorému v našej novej publikácii venujeme osobitnú pozornosť. Dovoľte nám namiesto dlhých recenzií ponúknuť slová samotného svätca, ktoré napísal svojmu priateľovi, kňazovi Elpidiosovi. Tieto slová sú totiž najlepším návodom, ako túto knihu čítať: „Zhustil som spisy svätých otcov do krátkych odstavcov, aby boli ľahšie na zapamätanie a osvojenie. Prosím ťa, čítaj ich s pochopením a hľadaj iba to, čo je užitočné... Mnohé kapitoly potrebujú hlbšie štúdium, aj keď sa zdajú byť veľmi jednoduchými.“ Prečo si túto knihu zamilujete? -Esencia otcov: Nie je to len teória, ale výber toho najlepšieho, čo svätý Maxim našiel u svojich predchodcov. -Proti „záplave slov“: V dobe, kedy je veľa hovoriacich, ale málo konajúcich, nás Maxim pozýva k učeniu sa skutkami. -Čítanie, ktoré mení: Táto kniha nie je pre zvedavcov hľadajúcich informácie, ale pre duše hľadajúce Božiu milosť a bázeň. Prijmite toto pozvanie k uvažovaniu nad učením jedného z najvýznamnejších autorov Filokalie. Nech je pre vás každá jedna kapitola z týchto štyroch stoviek krokom bližšie k autentickej láske k Bohu aj blížnemu.
We Are As Gods
In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: 'We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it.' Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.
We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection - are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn't whether humanity can play god. It's whether we can do it wisely.
In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species' next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity's ascent from scarcity to superabundance - and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.
Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.
Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won't be built by those who fear what's coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.
Abundance is here. Are you ready?
Build
Everyone deserves a mentor.
For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:
Here's how to think about choosing a job.
Here's how to be a better manager.
Here's how to approach design.
Here's how to start a company.
Here's how to run it.
Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.
So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.
But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.
Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.

Elizabeth - An Intimate Portrait
The intimate life story of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, from the royal biographer and writer who knew her family best.
Gyles Brandreth first met the Queen in 1968, when he was twenty years old. Over the next fifty years he would meet her many times at both public and private events, his friendship with the Duke of Edinburgh giving him privileged access to Elizabeth II.
Based upon his unrivalled access to royal circles, this is the definitive and intimate biography of Queen Elizabeth II. Telling the story of her remarkable life and reign from a perspective unlike any other, it is his observations of the late monarch at close quarters that make this very personal account of her extraordinary life uniquely fascinating.
From her childhood in the 1920s and her war years at Windsor Castle, to the era of Harry and Meghan in the 2020s, and her death at Balmoral, this is both a record of a tumultuous century of royal history and a truly intimate portrait of a remarkable woman.
Told with a refreshing dose of humour and moving honesty, Elizabeth is the must-read biography of the longest-serving monarch in English history.

The Origins of the Scottish Railway System
By comparison with their English counterparts, Scottish nineteenth-century railways have suffered from a degree of neglect by economic historians. Most of the existing literature is written for the railway enthusiast, concentrating mainly on topography, mechanical developments and entertaining episodes. Few of these books cover the whole of Scotland and most are treatments of single companies or of particular dramatic events. This study covers the earliest period of Scottish railway history, from the years of the first waggonway developments in the eighteenth century to the advent of the railway mania of the 1840s. It concentrates on the planning and formation of the various railways, the problems and achievements associated with their construction, and the financial records of the companies up to 1844. The first two chapters cover the horse-drawn waggonways of the eighteenth century and the coal railways of the early nineteenth century, while Chapters 3–5 cover the railways of the 1830s and 1840s.
