Neznámý voják
Tragédie finsko-sovětské války v letech 1941–1943 byla záležitostí celého finského národa. Už v jejím průběhu, a zvláště po porážce považoval kdekdo za svou povinnost sepsat, jak to vlastně bylo, proč tomu tak bylo, a jaké místo v průběhu válečných operací zaujímal pisatel na frontě nebo v zápolí.
TEPRVE DESET LET PO VÁLCE, V PROSINCI 1954 SE PŘIHLÁSIL VÄINÖ LINNA, DESÁTNÍK KULOMETNÉ ROTY ZA VÁLKY, KTERÝ UŽ ZASE PRACOVAL JAKO DĚLNÍK V PRÁDELNĚ BAVLNY, S ROMÁNEM NEZNÁMÝ VOJÁK.
Během sedmi měsíců vyšel Neznámý voják ve Finsku čtrnáctkrát a přeložen byl do 14 jazyků. V čem je příčina světového úspěchu tohoto naprosto realistického díla? „Chtěl jsem vytvořit obraz, v němž bych podal válku v její nejskutečnější podobě ; přitom jsem, pravda, vzal v úvahu tu hranici, která je mezi uměním a skutečností. Chtěl jsem podat obraz finského vojáka, odhalit jeho jádro a uznat jeho výkony, ale přece jen tak, aby válka už nikoho nelákala, protože jsem považoval za svou povinnost vytvořit takový obraz, aby také varoval,“ řekl sám autor v roce 1955.
Ukradené lži
První díl temné univerzitní romance, kde se nejhorší noční můry stávají realitou. A vašimi milenci.
Už uplynulo několik měsíců ode dne, kdy jsme stály nad prázdným hrobem páchnoucím spáleným masem a tajemstvími, oblečené ve svých nejlepších šatech, jedna z nás dokonce svatebních.
Ten den měl být začátkem nového dobrodružství. Místo toho se stal trpkým koncem naší pomsty. Ale než se k tomu dostaneme, musíme se vrátit na začátek. Na univerzitu Hollow Heights v ponurém přímořském městečku Ponderosa Springs. Vysokou školu, kde děti elit získávají špičkové vzdělání. Město topící se ve zradě a tajemstvích, které se stalo naším prokletím.
Neděsily mě však okolní hluboké lesy ani tajemné mauzoleum. Děsili mě ti, kteří číhají ve stínech, tak zvrácení a temní, že ovládli mé noční můry. Kluci z Hollow Heights. Stačil jediný chybný krok a ocitla jsem se přímo v jejich palebné linii.

A kőfejtő árnyai
Szem előtt rejtőzködő gyilkosok.
Kisvárosi titkok.
Egy lány, aki túl sokat tud.
Minnesota, 1977. Egy összetartó közösség kamaszai számára a nyár nem más, mint éjszakai fürdőzés a kőfejtőnél, a megyei vásár és kalandozások a város alatt húzódó alagutakban. Két jó barátnő számára azonban mindez nem csak játék és szórakozás.
Heathernek és Brendának van egy titkuk. Valami, amit a sötétben láttak. Valami, amit képtelenek elfelejteni. Megesküdtek, hogy soha senkinek nem mondják el. Csakhogy az eltökéltségük meginog, amikor az egyik barátnőjük eltűnik…, és egy héten belül ő a második lány, akinek nyoma vész. A hatóságok ennek ellenére nem hajlandók nyomozni.
Heather retteg, hogy a lányok eltűnésének köze van ahhoz, amire Brendával akkor éjjel rábukkantak. Kétségbeesésében egyedül próbál válaszokat találni, és lassanként rájön, hogy a közösségben senki sem az, akinek látszik. Sem a rendőrség, sem a fiúk, akiket a kőfejtőben ismert meg, sőt még a szülei sem.
Mégsem hagyhatja abba a nyomozást, mert tudja, hogy azok a lányok veszélyben vannak.
És azt is tudja, hogy ő lesz a következő...
Egy újabb idegborzoló thriller a Kimondhatatlan írójától, melyet egy sokkoló, megtörtént bűncselekmény ihletett.

The River of Caregiving
Caregiving flows through a little girl’s family in so many ways, like a river connecting them all. Her grandfather cares for her by picking her up from school with a snack and a smile, and she cares for him by keeping him company at his doctors’ appointments with a snack and a smile. Her mother helps her grandmother get ready for the day, just as her grandmother once helped her mother. And when the relatives send packages to each other, their caring makes them feel closer. Through occasions big and small, it’s a comfort to know this river of love is ever-present, and her family will always be there for each other. Jocelyn Chung’s evocative text and Sarah Gonzales’ gorgeous pictures remind us that our family’s love is a gift to be treasured.
Seal of Rome
Every subject serves Rome. Only a few can save it. An aristocrat. A slave. A pair of disgraced soldiers. And a legendary general. Five strangers. One secret war. When an elite gladiator defies death in the arena, his shocking victory earns him more than glory—it draws him into the heart of a secret mission that could change the fate of the Empire. Hardened by brutality and betrayal, Jason is recruited into a covert task force to stop an insidious coup from toppling Rome from within. Joining him are Mallia, a senator’s daughter suffocating in privilege; Argus and Tacitus, ex-legionnaires cast out by the very army they swore to serve; and Severus, a retired general and the Emperor’s most trusted ally. Together, they are reborn as the Septem Fideles—seven loyal ones—and sworn to protect Rome from the shadows. As rebellion stirs and enemies close in, loyalties are tested, forbidden love ignites, and ancient powers threaten to awaken. The Empire's fate rests on the shoulders of five outcasts who must fight as one… or fall divided. Seal of Rome is a sweeping tale of heroes and villains, betrayal and sacrifice, forbidden love and unrelenting suspense—set against the brutal beauty of an imagined Ancient Rome at the height of its glory… and on the brink of ruin.
So Over Sharing
Quiet, introverted Hadley and rough-around-the-edges Willow have one big main thing in common: both their mums have gained a huge online following sharing every detail of their lives. Hadley’s mum - Phoebe of @PhoebeAndJay fame - loves to share all the terrible, down and dirty bits about raising kids while Willow’s mum Rosalind at the up-and-coming @MoonbeamsAndMarigold basks in the glow of motherhood. If getting all her life's moments (including an almost decade old viral potty training video) shared online isn't enough, Hadley’s starting a new school in a new neighbourhood and desperately trying to keep her mum’s identity a secret while Willow is struggling with a recent life-changing announcement from her mum who, it turns out, is not getting out of the influencer world anytime soon. As the two girls build a friendship and share the pains of having mumfluencers, they come up against the same question - how long will they have to share their lives with everyone?
Nebulas
Poems that look at our little world from space In Nebulas, Meghan Kemp-Gee positions these giant clouds of glowing space dust, often the ‘nursery’ where new stars and planets are born, in an interconnected web of lyric form. As dazzling masses of matter and energy, fleeting, exploding and collapsing, creating connection across incomprehensible distances, these poems use constellations and light-years to reconfigure how art, mortality, loss, death, and afterlives are miraculous echoes and patterns in a gorgeous, chaotic universe. Included in this dazzling collection are an extraterrestrial fox who works at a gas station, meditations about living across from a hospital during the Omicron surge, weathering climate disasters in North Vancouver, strange deep-sea ecosystems, conversations with a space-god who may be Walt Whitman, and multiple retellings of a Zen koan about tigers and strawberries. Here, respiration and repetition – literally, verse – acts as an outstanding formal feature, a way of creating connections and shared breath across spacetime.
Before Disability
A literary, legal, and cultural history of disability, race, and citizenship between the Revolution and the Civil WarThe history of disability rights is often told as a recent one, but it is not. In the wake of the American Revolution, many of the differences we now call disabilities could be accommodated into citizenship—and for some even exemplified its promises. By the antebellum period, however, disability was becoming a powerful, racialized tool of civic exclusion and, by the century's end, a target for eugenic elimination. In Before Disability, Sari Altschuler tells the story of how this dramatic transformation occurred. Before Disability is a literary, legal, and cultural history of the relationship between disability, race, and citizenship. It shows how disability helped to shape US citizenship and, in turn, how the formation of US citizenship shaped disability. There were two key drivers of the transformation from accommodation to exclusion and eugenics: the difficulty aligning the reality with the rhetoric of civic inclusion and the co-opting of mental and physical difference as evidence in debates about Black citizenship. The stigmatizing ways race came together with mental and physical difference to deny Americans rights were, however, not inevitable. Before citizenship was federally defined in the late 1860s, Americans were still working out what it meant. They used the narrative forms available to them—from melodrama and the gothic to the slave narrative and the criminal confession—to do this work. While possibilities narrowed by the antebellum era, Americans continued to imagine, articulate, and enact broader definitions. As we seek to imagine the relationship between disability and citizenship more equitably and expansively for ourselves, we should begin by remembering that many disabled and nondisabled Americans before us did, too.

Startup Hell
A hilarious contemporary fantasy about a junior sales witch stuck in corporate hell, who has to evade devilish pacts and her kickass, world-saving, demon-slaying mum to save a (surprisingly hot) demon, and work out how to hit her quarterly target. From the New York Times-bestselling author of Dreadful and The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association.
Morgan Blackwater's mother is a kickass, world-saving, demon-slaying Shadow Council wizard. As for Morgan? Morgan's a junior salesperson at a tech startup that can't even decide what its product is. But with magic dyslexia and a disinclination to kick ass, Morgan is doing her best carving out a niche for herself in the mundane world.
Leaving work late one night, she discovers her boss dead from the effort of summoning a demon to trade his soul in order to make his quarterly target. The disturbingly-attractive demon, Lucareoth (Luke for short), is trapped here until he finds someone to sell their soul. While trying to sneak Luke out of the building, Morgan runs into her infamous mother. Apparently, someone has been summoning demons and she's here to get to the bottom of it.
Trying to protect Luke from her mother, Morgan gets sucked into the Infernal Plane and discovers hell really is a corporate nightmare. She only gets back home with a promise to deliver a human soul of her own. While her coworkers are really annoying, she's not willing to sacrifice their souls. The company's tech bro CEO, though, is another story.
With Caitlin Rozakis's signature wit, STARTUP HELL is a contemporary fantasy that exposes the demonic nature of the corporate world.
