Julie je obeť únosu, izolovaná a psychicky týraná známym autorom románov. A Ariadna je mladá žena neznámeho pôvodu, ktorá je posadnutá kreslením bludísk. Čo spája tieto ženy, ktoré sa ocitli v spleti absolútneho šialenstva?

Crescent Kingdom - Wolves of Crescent Creek 1
From TikTok sensation Tessa Hale comes a why-choose, enemies-to-lovers shifter romantasy series where everyone has demons and love means sacrifice.
Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are.
I've spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I've gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget.
Until them.
The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin.
They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary. A place to hide, to rest, and maybe even a place to belong.
Only it turns into so much more. Because when they touch me, everything around me ignites, and nothing matters but them.
But these wolves have secrets. And those secrets bring enemies. And when they find out who I really am?
It's not their enemies I need to fear. It's them.
Yes, Chef
If you can't take the heat…get out of the kitchen.
After a public meltdown in one of Manhattan's most elite restaurants, Chef Jack Hartman must return to his small Florida hometown. The only upside? He'll be far away from Poppy Winfield - his former boss's blonde, beautiful, utterly infuriating daughter - and the shrimp she threw at his head.
Poppy is also desperate for an escape - from her disapproving family and from her infamy as an influencer without a serious bone in her body. With their reputations in ruins, Jack's only ticket back to New York is turning the unloved restaurant of his childhood into the newest dining hotspot on the East Coast. And unfortunately for him, Poppy's is using her well-honed social media skills to sell out his grand opening.
As sparks fly and tensions reach boiling point, will Poppy and Jack be a recipe for disaster? Or could they be a perfect pairing …?

When a quest to protect the child of an enemy kingdom pulls them into the dangerous heart of their nation's war, Grey and Kier will need to decide what they are willing to sacrifice to protect their secret.
For Grey is no ordinary magical well, but heir to the lost island of Locke - the root of all power. If she dies, all magic dies with her.

Eclipsed Empire - Wolves of Crescent Creek 2
From TikTok sensation Tessa Hale comes the second in a why-choose, enemies-to-lovers shifter romantasy series where everyone has demons and love means sacrifice.
One secret tore my life apart.
It sent me running from the place I thought I would be safe, right into the path of untold enemies.
But when my life is in danger, the wolves I thought I'd lost for good are the ones who come for me. And they'll burn down the world to keep me safe-even if none of us trusts each other anymore.
With every moment we're forced together, every whispered apology and stolen touch, my resolve to keep them at a distance weakens. And when I realize just how much each of these men has come to mean to me, that resolve crumbles to dust.
Only there are more secrets to uncover-all our pasts lurking in the shadows. And when the monsters emerge from the darkness, there's no escaping them this time…
The New People
A newly married couple move into a flipped foreclosure, unaware that the former homeowners are still living in the attic. A striking and intimate debut about motherhood, loss and the true cost of starting over.
After the housing crash in 2008, Emma and Rachel move into a charming little house in a conservative college town, hoping for a fresh start after a painful miscarriage.
Emma finds herself struggling in the shadow of her wife's success: tenure-track professor and now bestselling novelist. Desperate to build something of her own, and without Rachel's knowledge, Emma pursues IVF.
The house becomes a refuge from the town Emma is convinced is set against her - until strange occurrences make her question whether she and Rachel are truly alone.
They aren't.
Charlotte and Dirk, the former homeowners displaced by the recession, are secretly living above Emma and Rachel's attached garage.
As Charlotte listens to the interlopers below, her growing resentment pushes her into small acts of defiance, eventually full-blown sabotage.
But when her campaign to drive out the couple goes too far, Charlotte's and Emma's stories converge in an explosive climax that will reveal the lengths people will go to reclaim what they've lost.
Tenderness
A story of love, liars and secrets . . . Shady, sexy, suspicious - perfect summer holiday reading'
The Times, 2026 Must-Read round-up
Shay was no longer in the cult, but still, it made her wedding guests nervous that she was bringing them to an island . . .
On a remote island off the coast of Virginia, family and friends gather to celebrate the wedding of Shay O'Connor and Andrew Pruitt. From the moment the guests arrive, all they can whisper about is the bride, who recently left the headline-making cult Synanon.
Told from the interwoven perspectives of Shay's brother William, her longtime friend Joel, and Shay herself, this slow-burn mystery excavates dark family histories and romantic regrets. As the wedding approaches, Joel and William pull at the loose threads of Shay's story, and it becomes clear there is an even greater threat on the island than the secrets each character is keeping from one another.
Set in the tinderbox of the 1970s, Tenderness is a lit match, bringing hidden truths to light, and asking if we can ever see ourselves or the people we love for who they truly are.
'INTOXICATING. You'll find yourself turning page after page, utterly swept up in the heady spell it casts, and the emotional heft that rises to an astonishing crescendo' Megan Abbott
EuroCity - Vlaky, které spojily Evropu
Jak se zrodila síť prestižních evropských expresů a jak se její vývoj promítl do železniční dopravy v České republice? To vám přiblíží publikace o historii evropské sítě komfortních mezinárodních vlaků, která započala v padesátých letech minulého století v západní Evropě. Právě tam se objevily první vlaky kategorie TEE, které postupně vystřídaly spoje InterCity a nakonec i EuroCity, jež se od roku 1991 dostaly také na naše území.
Nejde o encyklopedii plnou technických detailů, ale o poutavý průvodce významnými okamžiky, legendárními vlaky a zajímavými příběhy moderní železniční dopravy. Hlavní pozornost je věnována vývoji vlaků vyšší kvality na českém území v posledních pětatřiceti letech. Nechybí přehled palubních gastronomických služeb ani technický popis elektrických a motorových lokomotiv a jednotek, které tyto prestižní spoje u nás v minulosti vozily či dodnes vozí.
Kniha je určena jak železničním nadšencům a odborníkům, tak všem čtenářům se zájmem o historii cestování a evropské dopravy.

Zloději těl
Mladý šlechtic James Willoughby přijíždí do Edinburghu studovat medicínu. Tamní univerzita nabízí vše, po čem touží – kromě možnosti pitvat lidské tělo. Musí se tedy přihlásit na jednu ze soukromých škol, kterou si však z finančních důvodů nemůže dovolit.
V zoufalství uzavře dohodu s asistentem proslulého anatoma Aneurinem „Nyem“ MacKinnonem, který mu nabídne práci a tím i přístup ke studiu. James si však brzy uvědomí, že uzavřel smlouvu s ďáblem. Nye totiž patří k vykradačům hrobů. James je Nyem okouzlený a přidá se k jeho skupině nechvalně známé krádežemi mrtvol sloužících jako anatomické vzorky. James se tedy stává zlodějem těl, a nejenže je od té doby neustále jednou nohou ve vězení, ale navíc se spolu s Nyem a jeho lidmi ocitne uprostřed války zlodějských gangů, které se neštítí ani chladnokrevné vraždy.
Mystical Power and Politics on the Swahili Coast
Traces changing visions of mystical power and authority on the island of Pemba, whose people's reputed resistance to outside rule has shaped the national narratives of both Zanzibar and Tanzania. For two centuries, Pemba, the second largest island of Zanzibar, has been known by East Africans and outsiders alike as rich in dangerous knowledge. Despite Pembans' reputation for piety and deep Islamic knowledge,uchawi- 'mystical work and power', sometimes termed 'magic', 'witchcraft', or 'sorcery' - has long featured in diverse visions of their identity and as key to worldly power. Today, as traditional methods of securing agency are called into question and new ways proliferate, the mystical world is an intensely conflicted realm where the nature of power, ethical action, and reality itself is continually reframed. This luminous ethnography follows Pemban notions of invisible and worldly power through the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964, the trials of multiparty democracy, the rise of Islamic revival, and intensifying neoliberalism. Through an exploration of rural imaginings of power, it argues that nations and the grammars that underwrite them are made in and by their peripheries, which give 'the centre' shape. Highlighting the intersections of mystical practices, religion, and politics-as-such on the Swahili Coast, the book contributes new perspectives to studies of the imagination, power, and religious transformation in Africa, the Indian Ocean, and the larger Islamic world.
Diplomatic Adventures
Moscow in the Cold War. Karachi during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971. Buenos Aires at the time of Perón’s death. Three critical chapters of twentieth-century history – and as a young diplomat, Tony Rossiter had a box seat.In Moscow in 1968, Western diplomats were kept under surveillance, their flats were bugged, and they were harassed by the KGB. From Moscow, Tony went to Karachi, a quasi-colonial world of servants and snobby expatriates. When war broke out, his young family huddled together as bomb blasts shook the walls. After a week of air attacks, women and children were belatedly evacuated. Transferred to Buenos Aires, it was out of the frying pan into the fire. Tony arrived, shortly after Perón’s reinstatement as president, as the Montoneros urban guerrillas were stepping up terrorist attacks against Western targets.Unlike the memoirs of most former diplomats, this book is not about high-level bureaucracy. Instead, it provides rare insight into the day-to-day life of a young man working at the coalface. Rossiter’s background was unusual for his era, and this vivid and evocative memoir offers a unique glimpse behind the curtain of international diplomacy.
Cool Machine
1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind.
1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker.
1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.
With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth.
