Velkommen til Grishaernes verden. Kaz Brekker og hans gruppe af dødsensfarlige udstødte har netop gennemført et kup så dristigt, at selv de ikke troede, de ville overleve det. Men i stedet for at dele en fed dusør er de straks tilbage til at kæmpe for deres liv. Forrådt og stærkt svækket mangler gruppen ressourcer, allierede og håb. Mens magtfulde kræfter fra hele verden strømmer til Ketterdam for at afsløre hemmelighederne bag det farlige stof kendt som jurda parem, træder gamle rivaler og nye fjender frem for at udfordre Kaz' snilde og sætte gruppens skrøbelige loyalitet på prøve. Der vil blive udkæmpet en krig i byens mørke og snoede gader – et slag om hævn og frelse, der vil afgøre Grisha-verdenens skæbne.

At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He’s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school soccer team while she is lonely, proud, and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her housekeeping job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers - one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years in college, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. Then, as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship.

Ketterdam: et travlt knudepunkt for international handel, hvor alt kan fås for den rette pris – og ingen ved det bedre end det kriminelle vidunderbarn Kaz Brekker. Kaz får tilbudt chancen for et dødbringende kup, der kan gøre ham rigere, end han nogensinde har drømt om. Men han kan ikke gennemføre det alene ... En straffefange med tørst efter hævn En skarpskytte, der ikke kan gå fra et væddemål En bortløben med en privilegeret fortid En spion kendt som Genfærdet En hjerteknuser, der bruger sin magi til at overleve i slummen En tyv med en gave for usandsynlige flugter Seks farlige udstødte. Ét umuligt kup. Kaz’ hold er det eneste, der måske kan stå mellem verden og ødelæggelsen – hvis de ikke slår hinanden ihjel først.

"Speak up for yourself—we want to know what you have to say." From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless, outcast, because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. As time passes, she becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops talking altogether. Only her art class offers any solace, and it is through her work on an art project that she is finally able to face what really happened at that terrible party: she was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. Her healing process has just begun when she has another violent encounter with him. But this time Melinda fights back, refuses to be silent, and thereby achieves a measure of vindication. In Laurie Halse Anderson's powerful novel, an utterly believable heroine with a bitterly ironic voice delivers a blow to the hypocritical world of high school. She speaks for many a disenfranchised teenager while demonstrating the importance of speaking up for oneself.

O třech věcech jsem byla naprosto přesvědčená. Za prvé, Edward byl upír. Za druhé, část jeho osobnosti – a já nevěděla, nakolik byla tato část dominantní – žíznila po mé krvi. A za třetí, bezpodmínečně a neodvolatelně jsem ho milovala. Stmívání, hluboce svůdný a mimořádně napínavý příběh, je milostný příběh s tesáky.

Achilleus, »den bedste af alle grækere«, søn af den grusomme havgudinde Thetis og den legendariske kong Peleus, er stærk, hurtig og smuk, uimodståelig for alle, der møder ham. Patroklos er en kejtet ung prins, forvist fra sit hjemland efter en chokerende voldshandling. Bragt sammen af tilfældet knytter de et ubrydeligt bånd, selv om de risikerer gudernes vrede.

Forført af løftet om en strålende skæbne slutter Achilleus sig til deres sag, og splittet mellem kærlighed til og frygt for sin ven følger Patroklos efter. De ved ikke, at de grusomme skæbnegudinder vil sætte dem begge på en prøve som aldrig før og kræve et frygteligt offer.

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming.... Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small-town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.

Oscar Wilde’s only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind.

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

Long before she was the terror of Wonderland—the infamous Queen of Hearts—she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere.
