Jáhen King Kong
Brooklyn, konec 60. let. Starý svérázný jáhen jednoho dne nakráčí před místního dealera, kterého ještě nedávno učil hrát baseball, a postřelí ho. Spustí tak kaskádu událostí, jež změní život nejen jim dvěma, ale celé různorodé komunitě žijící ve „špatné čtvrti“. Sociální problémy, rasismus a nepokoje jsou spíše pozadím živelného příběhu, který postupně nabírá parametry pátrání ve stylu Indiana Jonese. Americký klasik James McBride, jenž vychází v češtině vůbec poprvé, zde ukazuje jak mistrovské vypravěčské schopnosti, tak svou trvalou víru v lidstvo. Jáhen King Kong voní atmosférou New Yorku a jazzu, potěší milovníky gangsterek a podivínských hrdinů a je povzbudivou zprávou o tom, že láska a víra žije i v tom nejposlednějším darebákovi.

King of Pride
He's his opposite in every way . . . and the greatest temptation he's ever known.
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos - and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified.
With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.
Isabella is everything he shouldn't want, but with every look and every touch, he's tempted to break all his rules . . . and claim her as his own.
***
Bold, impulsive, and full of life, Isabella Valencia has never met a party she doesn't like or a man she couldn't charm . . . except for Kai Young.
It shouldn't matter. He's not her type - the man translates classics into Latin for fun, and his membership at the exclusive club where she bartends means he's strictly off limits.
But she can't deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her melt with just a touch.
No matter how hard they try, they can't resist giving into their forbidden desires.
Even if it costs them everything.
King of Wrath
An arranged marriage billionaire romance standalone from bestselling author Ana Huang.
She was my North Star, the brightest jewel in my sky.
Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant.
Billionaire CEO Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally.
He never planned to marry…until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows.
Vivian Lau, jewelry heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. The wife he never wanted, and the weakness he never saw coming.
It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. Dante will do everything in his power to destroy the blackmail and their betrothal.
There's only one problem: now that he has her, he can't bring himself to let her go.
***
Elegant. Ambitious. Well-mannered.
Vivian Lau is the perfect daughter and her family's ticket into the highest echelons of society.
Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money parents.
While the rude, elusive Dante isn't her idea of a dream partner, she agrees to their arranged marriage out of duty.
Craving his touch was never part of the plan.
Neither was the worst possible outcome: falling in love with her future husband.

The Raven King - A Hollókirály
Gansey már évek óta egy eltűnt király nyomait kutatja, és szép lassan a barátait is bevonja a küldetésbe: Ronant, aki álmokat rabol meg; Adamet, aki elérte, hogy más rendelkezzen az élete fölött; Noah-t, akinek már nincs is igazi élete; és Blue-t, aki szerelmes Gansey-be... miközben jól tudja, arra rendeltetett, hogy megölje a szerelmét.
A végjáték megkezdődött. Az álmok és a rémálmok egybefolynak. Szerelem és veszteség elválaszthatatlanná válnak. És a keresés már nem egy konkrét útvonalra szorítkozik.
A Kirkus Reviews ezt írta a Hollófiúk-sorozat előző darabjáról (Kék liliom): „Ez a párját ritkító sorozat várhatóan viharos végkifejlettel zárul.” Nos, a vihar megérkezett a virginiai Henriettába a halál, a vágyakozás, a megvilágosodás és egy brutális igazság kíséretében. A Hollókirállyal Maggie Stiefvater felteszi a koronát remekművére.
A legvonzóbb, legérzelmesebb, legelbűvölőbb mágikus világ, amit írói fantázia teremthet.

The King James Version of the Bible
The King James Version (KJV), also known as the King James Bible (KJB) or simply the Authorized Version (AV), is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, was commissioned in 1603 and completed as well as published in 1611 under the sponsorship of James VI and I. The books of the King James Version include the 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha, and the 27 books of the New Testament. Noted for its "majesty of style", the King James Version has been described as one of the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the English-speaking world. It was first printed by John Norton & Robert Barker, both the King's Printer, and was the third translation into English approved by the English Church authorities: The first had been the Great Bible, commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII (1535), and the second had been the Bishops' Bible, commissioned in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1568). In Geneva, Switzerland the first generation of Protestant Reformers had produced the Geneva Bible of 1560 from the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures, which was influential in the writing of the Authorized King James Version. In January 1604, King James convened the Hampton Court Conference, where a new English version was conceived in response to the problems of the earlier translations perceived by the Puritans, a faction of the Church of England. James gave the translators instructions intended to ensure that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology of, and reflect the episcopal structure of, the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 6 panels of translators (47 men in all, most of whom were leading biblical scholars in England) who had the work divided up between them: the Old Testament was entrusted to three panels, the New Testament to two, and the Apocrypha to one. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible for Epistle and Gospel readings (but not for the Psalter, which substantially retained Coverdale's Great Bible version), and as such was authorized by Act of Parliament. By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version had become effectively unchallenged as the English translation used in Anglican and English Protestant churches, except for the Psalms and some short passages in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English-speaking scholars. With the development of stereotype printing at the beginning of the 19th century, this version of the Bible became the most widely printed book in history, almost all such printings presenting the standard text of 1769 extensively re-edited by Benjamin Blayney at Oxford, and nearly always omitting the books of the Apocrypha. Today the unqualified title "King James Version" usually indicates this Oxford standard text.
