Sága ohňotvůrců 3: Vládce hněvu
Závěr epické fantasy trilogie Sága Ohňotvůrců z pera slavného R. E. Feista. Marquensasem se přehnala ničivá válka. Nemilosrdní nájezdníci povraždili tisíce nevinných, mezi něž patřila i Gwen, milovaná žena kováře Declana. Declan, jehož svět se během jediného dne obrátil v prach a popel, přísahal pomstu a vstoupil do služeb barona Daylona Dumarche, jehož rodina byla zmasakrována při útěku z hlavního města. Mezitím se Havě, která v sobě objevila vlohy pro pirátství, podařilo obsadit kořistní loď cizích nájezdníků, a nyní velí mocnému korábu jménem Královna bouří. Nepřátelé jí říkají „Mořský démon” a chystá se udeřit tam, kde to vůdce vraždících hord bude bolet nejvíce. Její manžel Hatušaly, který je posledním členem královského rodu z Ithrace, se mezitím pokouší ovládnout své kouzelné schopnosti. Nyní již z části dokáže vládnout základním stavebním částicím vesmíru. Bude to ale stačit, když se má postavit nejděsivější a nejnebezpečnější síle, které kdy svět Garnu čelil?

Carnaval Fever
Sheltered within her grandmother''s fiercely protective household, Ainhoa blossoms under the guidance of her constellation of aunts - women who become her teachers, guardians, and spiritual anchors. Through Ainhoa''s keen observant eyes, readers experience how music and dance - particularly during the explosive energy of Carnaval - don''t merely entertain but form the very heartbeat of existence, a pulsing testament to Afro-Ecuadorian identity and resistance. Yet beneath this tapestry of warmth and celebration, Carnaval Fever fearlessly confronts the shadows: crushing economic hardship, the heartbreak of migration, and the ever-present threat of male violence hovering at the community''s edges. At its luminous core, however, this novel stands as a defiant celebration of women''s resilience, collective power, and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood that sustain communities through generations.
A Deadly Marriage
THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERTHE SHOCKING TRUE CRIME THAT SHOCKED IRELANDFrom a producer of the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary, A Deadly American Marriage‘Extraordinary and compelling’ Pat Kenny, Newstalk‘There is quite a twist in this’ Martin King, Ireland AMHow Molly Martens’ obsession with her stepchildren cost her husband Jason his life and legacy, from the producer of the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary, A Deadly American MarriageWhen Limerick widower Jason Corbett hired a wholesome young American, Molly Martens, to care for his eighteen-month-old daughter and three and-a-half-year-old son, he could not have known that she was a troubled woman whose obsession with his children would end in his death. Three years after meeting, Jason and Molly married and settled in North Carolina. Four years later, Jason was beaten to death in their marital bedroom. Molly and her father, Tom, a former FBI agent, admitted to killing Jason but claimed self-defence. A Deadly Marriage reveals new information about this shocking case including the strange text Molly sent to Jason’s brother less than two hours after his death, how Jason told a friend he was planning to return to Ireland for good just two weeks before he died and Tom Martens’ pattern of cleaning up Molly’s mess. This is the story of how a wealthy and well-connected American family framed the victim as the aggressor in a horrific killing, blackened his name and served minimal jail time. Journalist Brian Carroll reported on the Martens’ court hearings for the Irish Times and is a co-producer of the Netflix documentary A Deadly American Marriage. He has thoroughly investigated the case, including conducting fresh reporting in North Carolina, to write the definitive account of a shattering story. ---‘Goes into the case in far more detail in a much more illuminating way’ Matt Cooper, Today FM‘Read this and you’ll get quite the education’ Elaine Crowley, Ireland AM

Parade's End
Ford Madox Ford's great masterpiece exploring love and identity during the First World War, in a Penguin Classics edition with an introduction by Julian Barnes. A masterly novel of destruction and regeneration, Parade's End follows the story of aristocrat Christopher Tietjens as his world is shattered by the First World War. Tracing the psychological damage inflicted by battle, the collapse of England's secure Edwardian values - embodied in Christopher's wife, the beautiful, cruel socialite Sylvia - and the beginning of a new age, epitomized by the suffragette Valentine Wannop, Parade's End is an elegy for both the war dead and the passing of a way of life. 'The finest English novel about the Great War'Malcolm Bradbury'The best novel by a British writer ... It is also the finest novel about the First World War. It is also the finest novel about the nature of British society'Anthony Burgess'There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them'W.H.

LOST iN Switzerland
Switzerland. You imagine snow-capped postcards, precision watches and the hushed corridors of private banks. But look past the orderly facade and you’ll find a country defined by synergistic contrast and modern marvels.
This is a land where brutalist concrete bunkers hide luxury galleries and the pristine silence of the Alps is broken by the roar of underground techno and art movements like Dadaism that once shook the world. It’s a year-round destination with natural wealth that has no equal.
LOST iN takes you beyond the fondue pots to the high-altitude creatives and urban alchemists. You’ll meet a mountain rescue guide that saves lives on the Matterhorn, an indie designer reimagining the home aesthetic and Zurich architects transforming industrial husks into soaring cathedrals of cool. Along the way, we’ll guide you through hidden thermal baths carved into raw granite, secret vinyl bars in Basel and the lakeside Riviera where jazz legends once escaped the limelight.
From the eerie stillness of abandoned mountain passes to the high-stakes energy of a global design scene, this is a Switzerland that refuses to be put in a box. Experience a culture clash that’s raw, real and refined, and get lost in a country where stereotypes don’t stand a chance.
Alpine subcultures, adventure seekers and urban creatives that bring pure grit to the world’s most beautiful playground.

All ‘insane’ villagers are locked in the Abbey dungeons, released only for the riotous Feast of the Holy Fool. Alberto’s thankless task is to gather them again when the Feast ends – but as he comes to know them, he begins to question whether these so-called fools need saving at all. Only one always escapes him: the Flying Girl, a mysterious child who refuses to speak or be caught. As Alberto’s sympathy deepens into defiance the Abbess calls in the Inferrant Brethren: a brutal religious inquisition with whom Alberto has history... With pressure mounting, Alberto must decide where he stands. Protecting the vulnerable may cost him everything.
Rome's Age of Revolution
How did Christianity grow into an international faith that shaped the world as we know it?‘Remarkable … A joy to read’ JOSEPHINE QUINN, author of How the World Made the West‘Dazzling … Will change how you see Rome, and Christianity, for ever’ CATHERINE NIXEY, author of Heresy'One of the most important books on ancient history in many years’ HARRY SIDEBOTTOM, author of Warrior of RomeRome’s Age of Revolution corrects the triumphalist narrative that the Christian message was so persuasive, and indeed superior, that people converted in huge numbers, abandoning their pagan beliefs, thereby turning a small, persecuted sect into the state religion of the Roman Empire. Tim Whitmarsh shows that Christianity would never have succeeded if it had not taken advantage of the infrastructure and culture of the Roman Empire; in turn the new religion was indelibly shaped and transformed by Roman beliefs and ideas, especially those circulating in the Greek-speaking, or Hellenistic, eastern parts of the empire. This radical transformation, Tim argues, can only be described as a revolution. And the consequences are with us to this day. ‘Riveting – incisive and stylishly written’ EDITH HALL, author of Aristotle’s Way‘Fascinating and powerful throughout’ ANDREW PETTEGREE, author of The Book at War‘Refreshingly innovative … Remarkable’ CANDIDA MOSS, author of God’s Ghost-writers‘History writing at its very best’ BRUCE GORDON, author of The Bible
