Mortedant's Peril
Mortedant's Peril is an epic historical fantasy of murder, mystery and unlikely alliances from RJ Barker, award-winning author of The Bone Ships. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows and City of Last Chances. ‘An engrossing, ingenious story in a beautifully crafted world’ – Adrian TchaikovskyIrody can speak to the dead. But the living want him silenced. Mortedants can speak to the dead – and Irody Hasp is the greatest of them. Not that they’ll admit it. And not that anyone actually likes the Mortedants, or Irody in particular. Nonetheless, Elbay is a city of tradition, and tradition calls for Mortedants to attend a death. But when Irody reads the corpse of a low-level record-keeper, he’s dragged into a conspiracy that will see someone close to him murdered and Irody framed for the crime, the eyes of the city’s guilds, nobles and villains all fixed on him. With only days to prove his innocence before he is executed, Irody is forced to work with unlikely and unwanted allies: a street urchin and a hulking, inhuman mercenary from the sea people’s city of Oknusoka. With danger and death lurking around every corner, and trust a luxury, Irody is running out of time. He must save himself and his friends, as well as Elbay – the magnificent, terrifying, complicated city that he loves. Or darkness will fall on them all.

Life, Death and Getting Dressed
'This book is genius. It pinpoints all the things I have ever felt about my wardrobe... It's funny, charming and brilliantly explained. You'll feel better just reading it!' Emma Forbes'Rebecca's book considers clothes and our attitudes to them from a wildly original and truly kaleidoscopic range of angles.' Alexandra Shulman 'A fascinating deep dive that will make you think differently about the clothes you wear and why you bought them.' Lisa Armstrong,The TelegraphRebecca Willis unpicks our love-hate relationship with clothes, explaining why September is the most important month in fashion, what happens when we look in the mirror and why royal wives wear such ridiculously high heels. Clothes matter because over 50% of communication is non-verbal and because humans have an inbuilt need to belong. How we dress becomes so key to our identities that our wardrobes tell our life stories. This fun, frank and fact-filled book explores all the reasons that make us such easy prey for the fashion industry... and how to resist it. It will make you fashion-conscious in a new way and set you free from wardrobe anxiety. You will start to shop with your eyes wide open and make better buys and fewer mistakes.
Mer de Glace
In 2021, Malgorzata Lebda ran the entire length of the longest river in Poland, the Vistula, from its source in the Beskid Mountains to its mouth at the Baltic Sea – a distance of 1,113 kilometres. She set out to run as a poet, not as an athlete, to use the rhythms of her own body as a means of understanding and connecting to the rhythms of the river’s body of water, under threat of environmental ruin. Mer de Glace, which won the Szymborska Award, is the introduction to her remarkable journey. A profound meditation on the porosity, reactivity and receptivity of both the body and the natural world, the collection reveals their deep interdependence.

Set in the heat of a teenaged summer, and in a galaxy far, far away; this book captures how it feels to connect with someone during that adolescent period when childhood fantasies collide with the realities of adulthood. A true celestial treat.’ Emily Austin, author of Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be DeadIn the heat and the green haze that seemed to surround us both like a physical presence, I felt intensely awake.

In Clara, the narrator recognises the same loneliness that she feels herself, but finds tenderness and laughter too. Over hot, languid days spent talking and reading side by side in the garden, the narrator is awakened to the possibility of a true connection with another human being, free of the self-consciousness she feels with others. Meanwhile, in a distant fictional galaxy, Nadia the space explorer - the protagonist of a children's book series beloved by both girls - traverses the known universe with her companion, Rosa. Their imagined adventures make sense of new and powerful feelings. First Summer captures the innocence and agony of adolescence and the exquisite promise of love on the cusp of adulthood: a moment where fantasy is still vivid in the mind. This story of the first summer of love echoes throughout the characters’ lives and will change them forever.

Ray Khan
Ray Khan was the most unlikely confidential informant in law enforcement history, yet he found himself a fugitive, running from the same government he had helped. Ray Khan was born and raised in Gujarat, India, where his father was an officer with the Indian National Police. Wanting to follow in his footsteps, Ray took the entrance exam for the IPS three times but failed each time, so he followed his wife to the US to chase the American dream. However, things did not work out, and Ray ended up losing his wife and his legal immigration status. After moving to Georgia and buying his first convenience store, Ray unknowingly walked into an undercover ATF operation and purchased untaxed cigarettes. Shortly after, he was arrested and scheduled for deportation. However, by becoming a confidential informant for ATF Special Agent Lou Valoze, Ray was able to avoid deportation and quickly worked off his charges. Over the next six years, he would prove himself to be one of the most successful informants in ATF history. Valoze, recognizing Ray’s unique skills, used him in several undercover operations, and Ray proved his worth by bringing hundreds of violent criminals who sold thousands of crime guns and hundreds of kilograms of narcotics to Valoze and his undercover team. Valoze and Ray would eventually develop a relationship that went beyond the usual agent and informant relationship. But, during the entire time he was working as an informant, he was being targeted by a corrupt, high-level officer with the Georgia Department of Revenue. After Ray and Valoze concluded one of the most successful undercover operations in history, Valoze’s career imploded, and Ray found himself in the crosshairs of numerous corrupt Georgia officials. After being indicted on state RICO charges, Ray evaded the law and became a fugitive in New York City. Having learned many things while working with Valoze, Ray would eventually turn the tables on his corrupt pursuers.

Katechismus katolické církve
Třetí, opravené a pečlivě zrevidované české vydání Katechismu katolické církve vychází z oficiální verze (editio typica) schválené papežem sv. Janem Pavlem II. a vůbec poprvé obsahuje nové znění článku 2267 o trestu smrti, schválené papežem Františkem. Porozumění textu pomůže i Malý úvod do Katechismu katolické církve od Josepha Ratzingera a Christopha Schönborna.
Katechismus katolické církve podává ucelený výklad katolické nauky, z něhož poznáváme, co vyznává a co slaví, čím žije a jak se modlí církev. Výklad katolické věrouky a morálky vychází z Bible, z liturgie i z bohaté tradice církve, rozšířené na všech kontinentech, a na přání otců Druhého vatikánského koncilu se přibližuje současným životním podmínkám.
Katechismus je rozčleněn do čtyř částí: I. Vyznání víry (souhrn věrouky); II. Slavení křesťanského tajemství (liturgie a svátosti církve); III. Život v Kristu (lidské jednání; svědomí, štěstí, ctnosti, hřích; osobní a společenská morálka; Desatero); IV. Křesťanská modlitba (povolání k modlitbě a zápas o ni; výklad Otčenáše).
Katechismus je spolehlivým vodítkem pro křesťany na celém světě – zejména pro ty, kdo nesou odpovědnost za katechezi ve své farnosti, pro kněze, biskupy, teology, ale i laiky, kteří se snaží svou víru žít tváří v tvář mnoha tíživým situacím a výzvám. Cenný je také pro všechny, kdo řeší praktické problémy jednotlivců i komunit, ptají se po odpovědích katolické víry a morálky, ale přitom žijí mimo dosah církve – pro novináře, lékaře, právníky, ekonomy, politiky, pedagogy, pracovníky v sociální a zdravotní oblasti aj.
Pečlivě uspořádaná publikace je vybavena přehlednými shrnutími, propracovanými rejstříky a vnitřními odkazy.
Nihil obstat: Prokop Brož, pomocný biskup královéhradecký

The Neon Sky - The Glittering Edge 2
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the unputdownable gothic contemporary fantasy The Glittering Edge. Return to a world where magic is real, witches make irresistible boyfriends, and keeping secrets is dangerous-but not as dangerous as the truth. With the feuding families of Romeo and Juliet, the dark magic of Krystal Sutherland and a love triangle to rival The Inheritance Games.
Penny Emberly didn't expect to fall head over heels for Alonso De Luca last summer-or to discover that he's a witch. Together with their friend Corey Barrion, they managed to save her mother from a deadly spell. Now autumn has arrived, and Penny believes they can take on anything.
But darkness is descending on the small town of Idlewood. Corey is desperate to undo the bloody legacy that made his family rich. The price, however, is steep: to unravel the magical bargain made by his grandfather, Corey must take a life.
As Corey wrestles with an impossible choice, Alonso begins to change. The more he pushes the limits of his magic, the more volatile, violent, and possessive he becomes. When tragedy strikes one of their classmates, the trio is forced to confront a terrifying question: is Alonso being consumed by something that's bent on the destruction of everyone around him?
As supernatural forces drive them apart, Penny, Corey, and Alonso must decide what they're willing to sacrifice before more blood is spilled-even if it means losing each other.
