The Gilded Crown
The Witch’s Heart meets The Foxglove King in this debut fantasy about a woman who can bring people back from the dead, and the princess she must protect, no matter the cost.
The first time Hellevir visited Death, she was ten years old…
Since she was a little girl, Hellevir has been able to raise the dead. Every creature can be saved for a price, a price demanded by the shrouded figure who rules the afterlife, who takes a little more from Hellevir with each soul she resurrects.
Such a gift can rarely remain a secret. When Princess Sullivain, sole heir to the kingdom’s throne, is assassinated, the Queen summons Hellevir to demand she bring her granddaughter back to life. But once is not enough; the killers might strike again. The Princess’ death would cause a civil war, so the Queen commands that Hellevir remain by her side.
But Sullivain is no easy woman to be bound to, even as Hellevir begins to fall in love with her. With the threat of war looming, Hellevir must trade more and more of herself to keep the princess alive.
But Death will always take what he is owed.
Crown of Midnight - Éjkorona
A tizennyolc éves, gyönyörű lány, Celaena a király, Adarlan legveszélyesebb orgyilkosa.
De vajon a szíve is egy gyilkosé?
Szabadságát azzal nyerhetné vissza, ha a király ellenségeinek vérét ontja, de nem képes rá, hogy a koronáért öljön. És minden, látszólag végrehajtott ... Folytatás ›› megbízatásával, minden hazugságával azok életét teszi kockára, akiket szeret.
A lány a szíve mélyén őrlődik a kapitány és a koronaherceg között, miközben a királynál is jóval sötétebb erővel kell megküzdenie. Döntenie kell, hogy miért fog harcolni: a szabadságáért, a szívéért vagy pedig a királyság sorsáért.
A(z) Crown of Midnight - Éjkorona (Könyv) szerzője Sarah J. Maas.

After touring the rural areas of Panga, Sibling Dex (a Tea Monk of some renown) and Mosscap (a robot sent on a quest to determine what humanity really needs) turn their attention to the villages and cities of the little moon they call home. They hope to find the answers they seek, while making new friends, learning new concepts, and experiencing the entropic nature of the universe.
Becky Chambers's new series continues to ask: in a world where people have what they want, does having more even matter?

There will be a reckoning . . .

Captain Farley is at the forefront of the Red rebellion. As she plans an attack on the Silver capital, she discovers a secret that could sway the balance of power for ever. Two gripping stories.

Crown of Midnight
Never trust an assassin.
Celaena's story continues in this second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King's Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realises she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion - not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a princess with a rebel heart.
Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie ... and what she is willing to fight for.
The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by liars, where one woman's truth is the only thing that can save them all.

Crown and Coronation in Hungary 1000–1916 A.D.
This scholarly but popular book summarizes the most recent research on the Holy Crown of Hungary and the history of Hungarian coronations from the founding of the kingdom (St Stephen, 1000-38) to the end of the monarchy (Charles IV, 1916-18). It starts with the issue of succession to the throne, discusses the ecclesiastical and secular ceremonials of accession, their locations and the coronation jewels, and especially the origin of the Holy Crown and its history from the thirteenth to the twenty-first century. It includes as well often overlooked paraphernalia, such as flags and coins. The authors address an intelligent lay readership, but believe that foreign historians and art historians would also peruse the volume with profit. No similar overview of all aspects of the subject has hitherto been published in English.
Az angol nyelvű, tudományos ismeretterjesztő monográfia (264 oldalon, több mint 100 színes képpel) a legújabb kutatások alapján a Szent Korona és a magyar uralkodókoronázások históriáját összegzi Szent Istvántól IV. Károly uralkodásáig. A könyv a trónöröklés történetével kezdődik, majd a királyavatások helyszíneit és időpontjait, egyházi és világi ceremóniáit, valamint főszereplőit tárgyalja, végül a koronázási jelvényeket mutatja be, részletesen követve a Szent Korona viszontagságait a középkortól egészen a 20. századig. Az eddigi összefoglalókkal ellentétben a kötet - a klasszikus koronázási jelvények mellett - a ceremóniák gyakran elfeledett egyházi és alkalmi kellékeinek (keresztek, zászlók, pálcák, érmek stb.) is külön figyelmet szentel. Hasonló nemzetközi összegzés a témában még sohasem látott napvilágot.

Far from the Madding Crowd
Far from the Madding Crowd was the first of Hardy's novels to apply the name of Wessex to the landscape of south-west England, and the first to gain him widespread popularity as a novelist. When the beautiful and spirited Bathsheba Everdene inherits her own farm, she attracts three very different suitors; the seemingly commonplace man-of-the-soil Gabriel Oak, the dashing young soldier Francis Troy, and the respectable, middle-aged Farmer Boldwood. Her choice, and the tragedy it provokes, lie at the centre of Hardy's ambivalent story.
