Tides of Fortune - Storm Weaver 2
The stunning follow-up to HEIR OF STORMS - an epic new YA romantasy series for fans of TWIN CROWNS, Stephanie Garber and THE HUNGER GAMES.
Having survived three treacherous trials to win her crown, Blaze is soon to be Queen of the Aquatori. But first she must find the Eye of the Soul before King Balen, the usurper to the throne, claims its power for himself.
Her journey will take her deep into the Wildlands and into a temporary alliance with the infuriating but undeniably compelling Fox. She can't help but feel drawn to him . . . but can she trust him?
Fortune favours the brave but will it favour the Stormweaver on her most dangerous mission yet?
Engagement
A feminist cult classic about love, independence and what it means to be an individual, translated into English for the first time
'I want to have him, I really do. I just don't want him to have me.'
Martina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what is coupledom? A route to marriage? A declaration of co-dependency? A new dimension of commitment and responsibility? A sexual confrontation? Or is it a habit that an intelligent person must consider breaking? Martina and Gustav discuss their relationship endlessly, between themselves and with others, as they try to make it work.
Engagement, set during a time of social change and political upheaval, sees Martina trying to engage with the world on her own terms. Unwilling to marry, she finds herself in a state of permanent engagement while her friends settle down to marriage and children; uncertain of the world's future, she engages with demos, sit-ins and philosophy seminars in her quest for a new blueprint for joy. First published in 1976, when it was heralded as an instant classic, Engagement remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.
French Kisses
The brand-new book from Diverse Book Award winning author, Jenny Ireland.
When wild-child Margot is forced to go to on a summer holiday to the South of France with her family, she's definitely not happy about it.
Enter Félix and Antoine. They are polar opposites. Félix: mild mannered, caramel haired and sweet. Antoine: dark haired. Tattooed. Arrogant.
The only thing they seem to have in common is that they're both ridiculously attractive, and they both have a thing for Margot. But there's something much more significant about them that's going to come as a real shock to Margot . . .
Chronicles of Dissent
An accessible, powerful overview of Noam Chomsky's political thought
In sixteen extended talks with Alternative Radio's David Barsamian, Noam Chomsky explains:
Why the 'war on drugs' is really a war on poor people.
How attacks on political correctness are attacks on independent thought.
How historical revisionism has recast the United States as the victim in the Vietnam War.
Widely recognized as one of the most original and important thinkers of our age, Chomsky's trenchant analysis of current events is a breath of fresh air in a world more and more polluted by mainstream media.

A SZERZŐ EDDIGI LEGJOBB, LEGMERÉSZEBB MŰVE: EGYSZERRE KÖNYÖRTELEN ÉS IRGALMAS, FINOMAN HÁTBORZONGATÓ, MÉGIS RENDKÍVÜL FÉLELMETES. ELMA ÉPPOLY ÖSSZETETT DETEKTÍV, MINT HARRY HOLE JO NESBO REGÉNYEIBEN. A FESZÜLTSÉGKELTÉS MESTERE.
– A. J. FINN
A CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger-díjas Tiltott Izland-sorozat lélegzetelállító harmadik kötete.
Akranes kis közösségének nyugalmát megrendíti egy tragédia: egy fiatal férfi életét veszti egy rejtélyes tűzesetben. Elma és a nyugat-izlandi bűnügyi osztály nyomozói a romok között hamar egyértelmű nyomokra bukkannak: a lángok nem véletlenül csaptak fel, gyújtogatás történt. Az ügy egyre kuszábbá válik, a gyanú több irányba is elágazik, és sorra kerülnek elő a lehetséges elkövetők. Ráadásul a halott férfi utolsó internetes keresése nyugtalanító kérdést vet fel: könnyen lehet, hogy nem egy, hanem két erőszakos halálesethez vezetnek a szálak.
Néhány hónappal korábban egy fiatal holland lány au pair munkát vállal Izlandon. Apja halála után az újrakezdés reményébe kapaszkodik, csakhogy hamar ráébred: egyre fogy körülötte azok száma, akikhez bizalommal fordulhat.
Miközben a rendőrség egyre közelebb jut az igazsághoz, Elma is célkeresztbe kerül. Valaki súlyos titkokat rejteget, és bármire képes, hogy azok soha ne kerüljenek napvilágra.
Bloodguard - A Vérőrző (Ófölde 1.)
Száz év. Több tízezer gladiátor. És csak egy emelkedhet fel…
A Nyíl Királyságban minden hazugság.
Szürkevölgyi Leith azzal a reménnyel érkezett erre az idegen vidékre, hogy elegendő aranyat szerezhet haldokló húga megmentésére. Önként jelentkezik a gladiátorviadalokra, ezekre a kegyetlen, vérszomjas küzdelmekre, ahol csak a legerősebbek maradnak életben. Azt hitte, már nincs vesztenivalója.
Tévedett – és mindent elvettek tőle. A reményt. A szabadságot. És végül az emberségét is.
Csupán dühe által táplált megsebzett teste marad hátra, amelyet megacélozott a túlélésért folytatott többéves harc.
Ekkor ismeri meg Maeve-et, a trónörökös tündelányt, aki megtestesíti mindazt, amit Leith megvet. Ő minden, amit gyűlölnie kellene. Az elbűvölő hercegnő azonban felkínálja neki az egyetlen dolgot, amire szüksége van: az esélyt, hogy elnyerje a hőn áhított vérőrző címet, és ezzel együtt a szabadságát.
De egy titkokra és hazugságokra épülő királyságban a reménynek mindig ára van. És Leith végső bosszúja… még ennél is nagyobb árat követel.
Lépj be az arénába!
„Döbbenetes! A vérőrzőben minden megvan: a gladiátori küzdelmek izgalma mágiával, mitikus lényekkel, trónviszállyal és persze gyönyörű szerelmi történettel keveredik. Kötelező olvasmány minden romantasyolvasónak!”– Lucy, goodreads.com

Klub zhýralců 4: Bez milosti
Nechci mu ublížit – jen ho potrestat.
Už tak je dost špatné být jedinou ženou, která spoluvlastní Klub zhýralců, ale navíc jsem jediná bez úchylky.
Aspoň jsem si to myslela. Představte si moje překvapení, když mi „úchylkový kvíz“ prozradil, že možná přece jen nejsem tak docela „normální“.
Ve skutečnosti se totiž Emersonu Grantovi podobám mnohem víc, než jsem si myslela.
Je tu jen jeden problém – nemám ponětí, jak se stát něčí dominou. Nebo aspoň do chvíle, kdy mě aplikace spojí s někým, kdo mě to chce naučit.
Je pro mě moc mladý. Moc tvrdohlavý a moc hezký. A abych nezapomněla – je to syn mého kamaráda.
Beau Grant je spratek – což by mi vadilo, kdybych ho za to tak ráda netrestala.
Za jeho nezřízeným chováním se ale skrývá muž, který je nepochopený, nesobecký a jen potřebuje usměrnit.
Pokud ovšem chce, abych se nad ním smilovala, musí si to zasloužit.
Existuje totiž milion důvodů, proč bych se od něj měla držet dál, ale už mě nebaví dělat jen to, co bych měla.
Konečně vím, po čem toužím, a jsem připravená si vzít, co mi patří.

Nekonečný pád 3: Návrat domů
V závěrečném dílu trilogie se opět vracíme na natáčení filmové série Infinity Falling do Vancouveru. Tentokrát stojí v popředí mladičká herečka Megan Suttonová, která se ve filmu zhostila role hlavní antagonistky. Na druhé straně je pak o něco málo starší lékař na urgentu Cole Buchanan, který se právě potýká s vážným pracovním selháním.
K jejich setkání dojde naprosto náhodně, ale následně zjistí, že mají mnoho společného, a to nejen kamarády, ale i pracoviště. Cole totiž záhy nastupuje na plac jako filmový lékař. Jejich vztah však rozhodně nekopíruje klasické milostné schéma. Cole je zvyklý si užívat a má za to, že na závazky není stavěný, jak se taky v minulosti přesvědčil. Megan je v tomto ohledu naopak doslova nepolíbená, ačkoliv ji v médiích neustále obviňují, že rozvrací cizí vztahy.
Vznikne tak model výhodný pro obě strany – Cole s Megan svůj vztah pouze předstírají na veřejnosti. Co když se však předstírané city změní v opravdové? Dokážou se přenést přes oboustranná vztahová traumata, vysoké pracovní vytížení a v neposlední řadě i přes nemalý věkový rozdíl?

Hodná holka
Kdysi býval Lukáš králem detektivek, ale ty časy už jsou pryč. Teď hledá vyhořelý spisovatel způsob, kterým by se mohl vrátit na výsluní. A jak lépe najít ztracenou múzu než během skutečného detektivního pátrání? Jenže jak se ukáže, psát o zločinech je mnohem snazší než snažit se odhalit, kam zmizela jedna nenápadná dívka. Lukáš přitom získá nečekanou pomoc v podobě Ady. Ta má sice hlavu plnou dětských říkanek, ale o špinavém prádle v sousedství ví víc, než by kdokoliv jiný přiznal. Společně se pouští do pátrání, které stojí na ostrých slovech a ještě ostřejších postřezích. Vyhaslý bestsellerista zjistí, že dobrý spisovatel nutně nemusí být dobrý detektiv – ale naštěstí není na hledání pravdy sám.
Královna české fantastiky Kristýna Sněgoňová se pouští na pole detektivek a jde na to s humorem i zběsilostí sobě vlastní. Tyhle zločiny vás budou rozhodně bavit.

Rethinking the Penal State
In this book based on his 2024 Adorno Lectures, Loic Wacquant combines social theory, comparative history and structural ethnography to probe criminal punishment as a core function of the state. Extending Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of bureaucratic field and symbolic power, he captures the constitutive duality of punishment, at once material and symbolic, an instrument of class control and a means of communicating values, endlessly oscillating between rehabilitation and retribution. Ranging from the birth of the workhouse prison in sixteenth-century Europe to the deployment of punishment in the colonies to the workaday world of prosecutors in a California criminal court, Wacquant reveals how the penal state curates crime, manages urban marginality, signals sovereignty, and manufactures legitimacy in the eyes of the population by restoring control over bodies out of order. But the penal Leviathan is a bifurcated state which captures nearly exclusively dispossessed and dishonored categories by targeting their neighborhoods: it is everywhere a class-splitting and a race-forging institution based on the stubborn differentiation of "paper penality" and "street penality."Getting inside the machinery of criminal justice shows that punishment must be placed at the epicenter of the political sociology of statecraft, group-making and place-making in the metropolis as well as brought to the forefront of civic debate to articulate a radical penal minimalism suited to reconciling punishment and democratic ideals.

Bezohledný muž, který se snaží outfit zničit tím, že zlomí někoho, koho mají chránit. Žena odhodlaná srazit monstrum na kolena. Dvě rodiny, které už nikdy nebudou stejné.
Marcel Pourtout
Pourtout is a name often mentioned as one of the greats of French coachbuilding. It was the company behind the rakish Darl’mat Peugeots of the 1930s and the famous ‘Embiricos’ Bentley. From modest beginnings, founder Marcel Pourtout – latterly working with designer Georges Paulin – created a respected business that bodied some of the world’s finest and most interesting chassis. When bespoke coachwork became a thing of the past, Carrosserie Pourtout was one of the few companies to survive. It moved on to fresh areas of activity. Quick on its feet, it thrived in a newly dynamised post-war France, whilst remaining a family business under the direction of Marcel Pourtout’s second son Claude. Extravagant publicity vehicles, notably for the ‘Tour de France’ cycle race, replaced special-bodied Hispano-Suizas and Delahayes. Then Carrosserie Pourtout became involved with ACMAT, for whom it created a cab body that redefined the image of the company’s rugged trucks, these becoming a staple of armed forces around the world. Finally it became France’s leading converter of Peugeot light vans and a sub-contractor for the aircraft and oil-prospecting industries. Written by award-winning author Jon Pressnell, this is the first history of Carrosserie Pourtout and has been compiled with the full and generous support of the Pourtout family. Using surviving documentation from the archives held by Kévin Pourtout, it tells the complete story of this enterprising small business, from its inception in 1925 to its demise in 1994.

Checkmate
In September 2022, the chess world watched in disbelief as Magnus Carlsen, widely considered the greatest player in history, faced an unthinkable defeat against the nineteen-year-old American upstart, Hans Niemann. When Carlsen withdrew from the prestigious Sinquefield Cup and subtly accused Niemann of cheating, shockwaves hit the chess community, igniting the biggest scandal in the sport's history.
Checkmate dives deep into this modern-day drama, tracing the parallel rises of Carlsen, the stoic virtuoso, and Niemann, the fiery disruptor. Niemann denied the accusations, even as past online cheating incidents surfaced, while powerful entities like Chess.com, a billion-dollar online arena, became entangled in the escalating controversy. As the scandal went viral, it became clear that more was at stake than a single game.
Checkmate is a story of ambition, genius and greed set against the backdrop of a once-niche game exploding into a global, multi-billion-dollar phenomenon. It's a compelling exploration of a world where tradition collides with innovation, and a new generation, forged in the digital age, threatens to upend everything.

Now, for the very first time, Malala takes readers behind the headlines in her candid and revelatory memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness. From friendship to first love, failed exams to impulsive adventures, Finding My Way reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human. And through moments of astonishing vulnerability, Malala reveals the psychological toll of the Taliban shooting that nearly ended her life - and shares her gratitude for the kindness and empathy that saved her.
This is not the story you think you know. It's the one Malala has been waiting to tell.
