Daughter of Smoke and Bone
Errand requiring immediate attention. Come.
The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. 'He never says please', she sighed, but she gathered up her things.
When Brimstone called, she always came.
In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she's a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. Raised half in our world, half in 'Elsewhere', she has never understood Brimstone's dark work - buying teeth from hunters and murderers - nor how she came into his keeping. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole.
Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought.

Daughter of Smoke & Bone – Füst és csont leánya
Egyszer volt, hol nem volt, volt egyszer egy angyal meg egy ördög,
akik egymásba szerettek.
A történet nem végződött jól.
Egy rés jelenik meg az égen, titokzatos szárnyas idegenek érkeznek rajta keresztül, akik világszerte fekete tenyérnyomokat égetnek látszólag véletlenszerű ajtókba.
Sötét, poros boltja mélyén egy ördög kezd kifogyni az emberfogakból, miközben Prága kanyargó utcáin egy fiatal lány akaratlanul belesodródik egy brutális, túlvilági háborúba.
Így kezdődik a 17 éves Karou története. A kék hajú lány Prágában él, képzőművészetet tanul, emellett időről időre távoli és veszélyes küldetéseket teljesít titokzatos és végtelenül rút nevelője, Kénkő parancsára. Kénkő boltjából kilépve a világ legkülönbözőbb pontjaira jut el, sikeres küldetéseiről fogakat visz Kénkőnek, aki kívánságteljesítő varázsgyöngyökkel fizet.
Amikor egy marrákesi sikátorban megakad rajta az egyik idegen, a gyönyörű és megkínzott lelkű Akiva tűzszínű szeme, események kiszámíthatatlan láncolata indul el: leleplezett titkok és egy balsorsú szerelem, amelynek gyökerei az erőszakos régmúltba nyúlnak vissza.
Karout – akine a neve azt jelenti, „Remény” – napról napra egyre jobban kínozza a kérdés: ki ő valójában?
Kik a kimérák, és kik a szeráfok? Kik az ördögök, és kik az angyalok?
Vajon Karou megbánja, hogy fellebben a fátyol származása rejtélyéről, és valóra tudja váltani, amit a neve ígér?
Laini Taylort a Füst és csont leánya-trilógia világsikere a fantasyirodalom klasszikus szerzőjévé avatta. Kalandokban, érzelmekben és kiszámíthatatlan fordulatokban gazdag regényeinek főhőseit a legnehezebb próbák elé állítja a kíméletlen hatalomvágy és gyűlölet által táplált, titkos háború.
Daughter of Smoke & Bone – Füst és csont leánya
„Egyszer ?volt, hol nem volt, történt egyszer, hogy egy angyal meg egy ördög egymásba szeretett. Nem lett jó vége.”
Így kezdődik a 17 éves Karou története. A valódi kék hajú lány Prágában él és rajzolni tanul, ám gyakran hiányzik az iskolából, mert időről időre távoli és veszélyes küldetéseket teljesít titokzatos és végtelenül rút nevelője, Kénkő parancsára. Kénkő boltjából kilépve ugyanis a világ legkülönbözőbb pontjain találja magát, és mindenhonnan fogakat kell vinnie Kénkőnek, aki kívánságteljesítő gyöngyökkel fizet.
Karou egy ilyen küldetésen méri össze először az erejét Akivával, az emberfeletti szépségű szeráffal. Az első találkozást több is követi a mai Prágában és más korokban, más világokban – mert tér és idő nem szab korlátot a kimérák és a szeráfok időtlen idők óta tartó könyörtelen küzdelmének.
Hogy kik a kimérák, és kik a szeráfok? Kik az ördögök, és kik az angyalok? Jó-e a szép, és szép-e a jó? Kicsoda valójában Karou, akinek a neve azt jelenti: „Remény”?
Laini Taylor fantáziában, egészen eredeti ötletekben, kiszámíthatatlan fordulatokban és érzelmekben gazdag regényéből kiderül.
Laini Taylor, a sikeres fantasy szerző új vizekre evez legújabb trilógiájával, és ha hinni lehet a neves amerikai újságok recenzorainak, ez lehet az írónő eddigi legnagyobb sikere. Úgy tűnik, beigazolódnak e feltevések, hiszen a könyvet a New York Times beválasztotta 2011 legfontosabb könyvei közé a gyerek/ifjúsági kategóriában (összesen 5 könyv szerepelt a listán), a megfilmesítési jogokat, pedig a Universal Stúdió vásárolta meg. A folytatás már készül!

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.

Daughter of the Moon Goddess
A captivating and romantic debut epic fantasy inspired by the legend of the Chinese moon goddess, Chang’e, in which a young woman’s quest to free her mother pits her against the most powerful immortal in the realm.
Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. But when Xingyin’s magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind.
Alone, powerless, and afraid, she makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she seizes an opportunity to learn alongside the emperor’s son, mastering archery and magic, even as passion flames between her and the prince.
To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies. But when treachery looms and forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, she must challenge the ruthless Celestial Emperor for her dream—striking a dangerous bargain in which she is torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos.
Daughter of the Moon Goddess begins an enchanting duology which weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic, of loss and sacrifice—where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triumphant.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods
The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy to college when the gods are standing in his way. After saving the world multiple times, Percy Jackson is hoping to have a normal senior year. Unfortunately, the gods aren't quite done with him.
Percy will have to fulfil three quests in order to get the necessary three letters of recommendation from Mount Olympus for college. The first quest is to help Zeus's cup-bearer retrieve his goblet before it falls into the wrong hands. Can Percy, Grover, and Annabeth find it in time? Readers new to Percy Jackson and fans who have been awaiting this reunion for more than a decade will delight equally in this latest hilarious take on Greek mythology.
Smoke And Ashes
When Amitav Ghosh began the research for his monumental cycle of novels the Ibis Trilogy, he was startled to find how the lives of the 19th century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by the precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium. Most surprising at all, however, was the discovery that his own identity and family history was swept up in the story.
Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, memoir and a history, drawing on decades of archival research. In it, Ghosh traces the transformative effect the opium trade had on Britain, India, and China, as well as the world at large.
The trade was engineered by the British Empire, which exported Indian opium to sell to China and redress their great trade imbalance, and its revenues were essential to the Empire's financial survival. Yet tracing the profits further, Ghosh finds opium at the origins of some of the world's biggest corporations, of America's most powerful families and prestigious institutions (from the Astors and Coolidges to the Ivy League), and of contemporary globalism itself.
Moving deftly between horticultural histories, the mythologies of capitalism, and the social and cultural repercussions of colonialism, in Smoke and Ashes Amitav Ghosh reveals the role that one small plant had in making our world, now teetering on the edge of catastrophe.
