Viazaný prísahou
Kráľovná slovenskej historickej romance vás vo svojom románe Viazaný prísahou opäť prenesie do búrlivého obdobia našej histórie, poznačeného tureckými vpádmi. A opäť nebude chýbať ani pútavý ľúbostný príbeh, od ktorého sa nebudete vedieť odtrhnúť!
Hlboko v minulosti je ukryté tajomstvo, ktoré ohrozuje kráľov, a jediný, kto môže zmeniť osud krajiny, je rytier, ktorý zložil prísahu vernosti a cti...
Rytier Samuel de Gara prichádza v prestrojení za potulného pevca na hrad Blatnica, aby splnil sľub, ktorý dal nebohému priateľovi. Štefan Ružbacký mu pred smrťou v osmanskom zajatí prezradil tajomstvo vznešeného pôvodu svojej bývalej manželky Rozálie a zaprisahal ho, aby ju po návrate do vlasti odviedol z Blatnice do kláštora v horách. Dúfal, že tam bude v bezpečí pred veľmožom Jánom Zápoľským, ktorý chce sobášom s Rozáliou získať dedičné právo na uhorský trón.
Samuel sa usiluje presvedčiť Rozáliu, aby s ním odišla. Postupne si získa dôveru nešťastnej ženy, ktorá sa nedobrovoľne stala väzňom na vlastnom hrade, a zloží jej prísahu vernosti a meča. Jedna vec je však prísaha a druhá rytierovo srdce. To Samuelovo bije iba pre Rozáliu, hoci si je vedomý, že jeho láska k nej ostane nenaplnená. Strach o jej život a city, ktoré k nej prechováva, ho odpútavajú od povinností, no Rozália mu to vôbec neuľahčuje, práve naopak: kým sa za ňou navždy zatvoria brány kláštora, chce zažiť lásku, o akej Samuel spieva vo svojich baladách...

Mama pre Veroniku, 3. vydanie
Zdravotná sestra Mária sa po desiatich rokoch neúspešného bezdetného manželstva odhodlá na odvážny krok a odchádza od muža napriek presvedčeniu, že okrem obľúbenej práce a večernej samoty ju už nič pekné v živote nečaká. Ale ani šťastie, ani nešťastie netrvajú večne a aj Márii osud napokon prichystá prekvapenie.
„Sestrička?“ vyruší ju z pochmúrnych myšlienok povedomý hlas. Zdvihne oči a stretáva sa s pohľadom pána Drobného. Je plný tichej náklonnosti, nevysvetliteľnej nehy. A smútku... Skôr než stihne nejako zareagovať, ozve sa milý detský hlások: „To je tvoja sestrička?“ Mária si až teraz všimne, že drží za ruku malé dievčatko.
V ružovej bundičke lemovanej bielou kožušinkou a so svetlými vláskami vyzerá ako dieťa z reklamy.
„Nie,“ zasmeje sa jej ocko. „To je sestrička z nemocnice. Stará sa o chorých ľudí.“
„Aj o moju mamičku?“
„Áno, aj o tvoju mamičku.“
Dievčatko stíchne a zvedavo si ju obzerá. Mária nevie od nej odtrhnúť pohľad. Očká má veľké, guľaté... uvedomí si, že sú kópiou očí jej mamy. Každučký deň mu jej pohľad bude pripomínať tú stratu...

Čísla neklamú
Mali by ste veriť číslam o nezamestnanosti? Je vzostup Číny nezastaviteľný? A čo je horšie pre životné prostredie: vaše auto alebo mobilný telefón? To je len niekoľko z otázok, ktoré si profesor Václav Smil kladie v knihe, ktorá prináša úžasnú zmes vedy a histórie.
Autor preberá množstvo tém, od národov a obyvateľov Zeme cez palivá a potraviny, ktoré im dodávajú energiu, až po dopravu a vynálezy nášho moderného sveta – a ako to všetko vplýva na samotnú planétu. V knihe Čísla neklamú nás vezme na dobrodružnú cestu za faktami, pričom pomocou prekvapivých štatistík a poučných grafov spochybňuje povrchné myslenie.
Bez náznaku pesimizmu či optimizmu a bez strachu z veľkých otázok Smil vysvetľuje, prečo sú výzvy na vyhlásenie antropocénu možno predčasné, alebo prečo klimatické dohody nezachádzajú dostatočne ďaleko. Tieto otázky nie sú jednoznačné a pokrok trvá dlhšie, než by ste si mysleli, ale so Smilom ako našim autoritatívnym a zábavným sprievodcom dostávame zdravú dávku realizmu.

Fury Bound
CROWNED BY DESTINY. CONSUMED BY VENGEANCE.
Against all odds, Meryn Cooper has inherited the crown - and a deadly war. As the Kingdom of Nocturna splinters under the weight of generations of lies, it is up to Meryn, her bonded direwolf Anassa and their allies to bring the country back from the brink.
But the commoners, the Bonded and the nobles are distrustful of their new queen and Meryn is caught in a deadly game of politics. Meanwhile, Meryn's beloved sister, Saela, is more at risk than ever.
Confusingly, the one person Meryn can trust is Stark Therion - the dark, dangerous Alpha she thought hated her as much as she loathed him. Yet, his loyalty is unshakeable. His presence intoxicating. And with his guidance, Meryn can seize an unthinkable level of power.
With enemies closing in and shadows stirring her dreams, Meryn stands to lose her kingdom - and her heart.
Blood will spill. Bonds will break. Fate will be tested.
Rules for the Summer
They set rules for the summer - and broke every single one . . .
Renley Gossage has nothing but a struggling candy shop and a dream. She is determined to make it as Cape Meril's confectionary queen with no help, no shortcuts - and definitely no rich men wielding engagement rings and making things messy.
Theo Williams never thought he'd be flying across an ocean to propose to a stranger, but here he is, knocking on Renley's door with a shiny diamond. She's the one person who might be able to stop his life from falling apart, so he's here with a marriage proposal - and more importantly for Renley, a business proposal . . .
The Deal: Theo needs a wife so his stiff-upper-lipped father won't cut him off. Renley needs a financial backer, even if she's too stubborn to admit it.
The Rules: One fake engagement. One summer. Zero romance.
But between collapsing drywall, gossiping neighbours, and the chaotic schemes of Renley's aunt, their forced proximity turns into something dangerously close to real.
Except Renley can't let go of the idea that standing on her own two feet means not accepting help. And Theo's past is about to catch up with him. By the time the candy shop doors reopen, they'll have to decide if this is just a summer fling - or a happily ever after worth breaking the rules for . . .

Svätyne, 2. vydanie
Román Svätyne je o stigmatizácii neplodnosti, o všeobecne akceptovanom násilí na ženách, o rodičovstve a v neposlednom rade aj o smrti. Dej je zasadený do sedemnásteho storočia, ale téma je, žiaľ, vysoko aktuálna aj v tomto storočí, dokonca na Slovensku aj v posledných dňoch. Pokiaľ by autorka neprezradila pár historických súvislostí, príbeh by vo svojej magickosti mohol fungovať aj v bezčasí, na bližšie neurčenom mieste. (Katarína Vargová)
„Ako prvý vás upúta jazyk... Vety a ich skladba majú u Dominiky Madro výrazný rytmus i melodiku. Keď píše, akoby spievala – variuje motívy, využíva silné repetície, mohutné akordy sa v ostrom kontraste striedajú s pokojnejšími lyrickými pasážami. Jazyk ovláda celú knihu a v tomto prípade nie je len prostriedkom, ale ozajstným stavebným materiálom, ktorý nechce byť (a ani nie je) len efektným ornamentom. Autorka slovám verí, verí jazyku, spolieha sa na jeho silu a to všetko prepája očarujúcou obraznosťou.“ (Ján Púček)
„Svätyne sú výrazne špecifickou, baladickou (preto i tragickou) prózou, v ktorej hlasy dvoch ženských postáv (Rodany a Višniačky) dopĺňa Rodanin osudový muž Jašek. Sú príbehom z iného, no aj z nášho sveta, netriviálnym rozprávaním o ne/vere, sexualite, láske a ne/plodnosti, o živote a jeho konci, ktorý môže byť novým začiatkom, zmŕtvychvstaním.“ (Marta Součková)
„Ilustrácie a obálku mala na starosti Lina Šuková a príbeh nádherne dotvárajú. Subtílnosť a geometrická pravidelnosť ornamentov korešponduje s jemnosťou, ale neúprosnosťou písania Dominiky Madro. Svätyne sú presne takým literárnym počinom: neúprosným, na súčasnej slovenskej literárnej scéne neprehliadnuteľným“ (Jaroslava Šaková)
The Library of Flowers
Rooted in memory and steeped in magic, The Library of Flowers is a radiant exploration of family, identity, and the expectations we inherit, perfect for anyone who has ever carried the weight of a legacy-and dared to make it their own.
For centuries, the Hua women have held sway over the courts of emperors and billionaires with their magical perfumes able to stir hearts and ensure fortunes. And in every fifth generation, an eldest daughter is born with the rarest gift of all: the ability to summon true love.
As a long-awaited fifth daughter, Lucy was supposed to be the miracle her exacting mother had been waiting for. But when her magic failed, Lucy fled Vancouver, her legacy, and the expectations that had nearly broken her. Now, years later, she runs a tiny perfume shop tucked away in Toronto's Kensington Market-crafting beautiful, perfectly ordinary scents and keeping her extraordinary past firmly behind her. That is, until a death in the family brings her home...and saddles her with an unwelcome inheritance: the centuries-old Hua family register, brimming with secrets, formulas, and forgotten truths.
As Lucy unravels the stories of the women who came before her-including the mother whose complicated heart she never could understand-she must confront the tangled threads of love, power, and identity...and ask herself whether her magic was ever truly gone, or simply waiting for her to decide for herself what it means to be a daughter of the House of Hua.
Come Back to the World
A single mother strives to understand the enigma of a reclusive novelist in a poignant novel about belonging, secret lives, and the want to disappear by New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde. Amelia Booker, a journalist and expert in American literature, receives a photograph leading to the possible whereabouts of E. L. Swann, an author who vanished forty years ago after the success of her first and only novel. It’s too intriguing a literary mystery for Amelia not to follow. In Santa Rosarita, Mexico, Amelia and her seven-year-old son, Jaden, meet the elderly and guarded Ella Steinbach, known to locals for riding her donkey to market, then retreating from the world again to her hilltop house. Prickly and defensive at first, Ella reluctantly concedes the truth about her identity. If not for Ella’s deep affection for the bright and introverted Jaden, she would have found the intrusion unforgivable. Instead, she grants an interview on the condition that Amelia tell no one where E. L. Swann has been found. As days turn into weeks, and Ella reveals more than expected about her past, she and Amelia form a difficult but surprising bond. From it comes the realization that the personal struggles we endure determine the necessary choices we make to move forward. But no matter how much Amelia tries to convince her otherwise, E. L. Swann really does wish to be left alone. And only by accepting the author as she is can Amelia maintain the life-changing connection.
How to Be Stoic
An inviting new translation of essential selections from Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, distilling the timeless wisdom of one of Stoicism’s most influential worksHow do you keep calm when the world seems to be falling apart around you? When Marcus Aurelius was emperor, the Roman Empire was at the height of its power and prosperity, but it also suffered flood, famine, plague, and endless wars. He was frequently away from the capitol leading his legions in battle, and he died in an army camp. To cope with the enormous pressures he faced, Marcus Aurelius turned to the philosophy of Stoicism, writing brief passages to reflect on its ideas and strategies for putting challenges in perspective. The result was the Meditations, a profound and moving work about the human condition. Elegant, spiritual, and by turns serious and humorous, this masterpiece of Stoicism still resonates powerfully today. How to Be Stoic offers a fresh, fluid, and engaging translation of its most stirring and important passages. Gretchen Reydams-Schils, a leading authority on Roman Stoicism, has carefully chosen and skillfully translated passages that exemplify the key themes of the Meditations, from everyday irritations such as encountering difficult people to existential worries such as the fear of death. How to Be Stoic also features a substantial and authoritative introduction and the original Greek text on facing pages. The result is perhaps the most accessible edition of the Meditations available.
Power Reimagined

She takes readers inside high-stakes situations where she refused to settle for less and pivotal moments where audacity became her greatest asset. From her earliest dreams of success to the executive offices where she made those dreams real, Sharif-Drinkard reveals the moments that shaped her and the strategies that helped her lead with impact and integrity. Part fearless memoir, part inspirational guide, Power Reimagined is for anyone who's ever been overlooked, undervalued, or told they didn't belong.
