„Една граница, която никога не бива да бъде прекрачвана, е на път да бъде нарушена. Това излага на опасност целия този замък — и живота на твоя приятел.“ От стъклен трон управлява крал с железен юмрук и душа, черна като катран. Убийцата Селена Сардотиен спечели жестоко състезание, за да стане негов Шампион. Но Селена далеч не е вярна на короната. Тя бдително пази тайната си; знае, че мъжът, на когото служи, е отдаден на злото. Да поддържа тази смъртоносна измама става все по-трудно, когато Селена осъзнава, че не е единствената, която търси справедливост. Докато се опитва да разплете мистериите, заровени дълбоко в стъкления замък, най-близките ѝ отношения страдат. Изглежда, че никой не е над това да поставя под въпрос нейната вярност — нито престолонаследникът Дориан; нито Каол, капитанът на стражата; дори и най-добрата ѝ приятелка Нехемия, чуждестранна принцеса с бунтовно сърце. После, в една ужасна нощ, тайните, които всички са пазили, водят до неизразима трагедия. Докато светът на Селена се разпада, тя ще бъде принудена да се откаже от най-ценното за нея и веднъж завинаги да реши къде е истинската ѝ вярност... и за кого в крайна сметка е готова да се бори.

Запознайте се със Селена Сардотиен. Красива. Смъртоносна. Предопределена за величие. В земя без магия, където кралят властва с желязна ръка, Селена, наемна убийца, е призована в замъка. Тя идва не за да убие краля, а за да спечели свободата си. Ако победи двадесет и трима убийци, крадци и воини в състезание, ще бъде освободена от затвора, за да служи като шампион на краля. Престолонаследникът ще я предизвиква. Капитанът на стражата ще я защитава. Но нещо зло обитава стъкления замък — и е там, за да убива. Когато съперниците ѝ започват да умират един по един, борбата на Селена за свобода се превръща в борба за оцеляване и отчаяно търсене на злото, преди то да унищожи нейния свят.

Оцеляването на Фейра зависи от способността ѝ да ловува и убива – гората, в която живее, е студено, мрачно място през дългите зимни месеци. Затова, когато забелязва в гората елен, преследван от вълк, тя не може да устои да се пребори с него заради месото. Но за да го направи, трябва да убие хищника, а убийството на нещо толкова ценно си има цена... Отведена в магическо кралство за убийството на фея, Фейра открива, че нейният похитител, чието лице е скрито зад маска, обсипана със скъпоценности, крие много повече, отколкото пронизващите му зелени очи подсказват. Присъствието на Фейра в двора се пази в строга тайна и докато започва да научава защо, чувствата ѝ към него се променят от враждебност в страст, а земите на феите се превръщат в още по-опасно място. Фейра трябва да се бори, за да развали древно проклятие, иначе ще го загуби завинаги.

Celaena přežila smrtící soutěže i zdrcující zármutek – ale za nevýslovnou cenu.

Všichni, které Celaena Sardothien miluje, jí byli vzati. Konečně se však vrátila do říše — aby se pomstila, zachránila své kdysi slavné království a postavila se stínům své minulosti… Přijala svou identitu Aelin Galathynius, královny Terrasenu. Než však bude moci získat zpět svůj trůn, musí bojovat. Bude bojovat za svého bratrance, válečníka připraveného za ni zemřít. Bude bojovat za svého přítele, mladého muže uvězněného v nepředstavitelném vězení. A bude bojovat za svůj lid, zotročený brutálním králem a očekávající triumfální návrat své ztracené královny. Čtvrtý díl série bestsellerů deníku New York Times pokračuje v Celaenině epické cestě a směřuje k vášnivému, mučivému vyvrcholení, které by mohlo rozbít její svět.

A SACRED OATH A FALLEN ANGEL A FORBIDDEN LOVE Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment. But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel. For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it. A mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever (if that's possible) and what's worse, he seems to be spending time with Nora's archenemy, Marcie Millar. Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude, Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feelings that he is hiding something. If that weren't enough, Nora is haunted by images of her murdered father, and comes to question whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death. Desperate to figure out what happened, she puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations to get the answer. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.

Nora Grey can't remember the past five months of her life. After the initial shock of waking up in a cemetery and being told that she has been missing for weeks - with no one knowing where she was or who she was with - she tried to get her life back on track. Go to school, hang out with her best friend, Vee, and dodge mom's creepy new boyfriend. But there is this voice in the back of her head, an idea that she can almost reach out and touch. Visions of angel wings and unearthly creatures that have nothing to do with the life she knows. And this unshakable feeling that a part of her is missing. Then Nora crosses paths with a sexy stranger, whom she feels a mesmerizing connection to. He seems to hold all the answers...and her heart. Every minute she spends with him grows more and more intense until she realizes she could be falling in love. Again.

Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch. Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin. But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated. As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.

This is the alternate cover edition of The Princess and the Pea by A.G. Marshall with the ASIN number B01M0MKH7Q. Only a true princess can save the kingdom. Alaric wants to be king. He wants to continue the peace and prosperity his father created in Aeonia. But with enemies questioning his bloodline, he’ll have to put his heart on the line and marry a stranger to secure his right to rule. Only a match with a true princess will silence his critics and protect his future. Lina’s lineage is shocking at best and deadly at worst. Over a century ago, she put herself into an enchanted sleep to seal away a horde of dark creatures. Now both Lina and the goblins are awake. Without friends or resources, Lina must seek the help of the Council of Kings. To get close enough to them to ask for aid, she’ll need to convince everyone she’s a true princess. As Alaric searches for a true princess to marry, Lina tries to convince the world she is one. But while they try to save the kingdom on their own, they may find what they need is each other.

Eight years ago, I believed I’d finally found a place to call home. My mother’s marriage to Vincent Sharpe meant security and three stepbrothers who were already my best friends. But Mom’s mysterious death one week before the wedding turned my world upside down. The day of her funeral, I was whisked away to live with my aunt in Kansas, and I never heard from the Sharpes again... Until a devastating tornado leaves me destitute. Now, Vincent is offering me the opportunity of a lifetime—he’ll pay for my tuition and expenses at an exclusive university. All I have to do is move back in with him and his sons. Knowing this is my one chance to discover what really happened to my mother, I grudgingly accept. But if I thought living in the same house with a potential murderer was going to be my biggest obstacle, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Leo, Hayle, and Tristin Sharpe are no longer the boys I remember. They're all grown up, with the adult attitudes, tensions, and sex appeal to prove it. They aren’t my problem anymore. Yet, somehow, they keep drawing me into their web of drama. I might be the only person who can fix what’s broken between them. But I don't trust that they won't shatter me in the process. \*The Lonely Souls trilogy is a contemporary reverse harem series inspired by the main characters in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz...except, this version of Dorothy and her friends is a little twisted.

A tale of twelve princesses doomed to dance until dawn… Galen is a young soldier returning from war; Rose is one of twelve princesses condemned to dance each night for the King Under Stone. Together Galen and Rose will search for a way to break the curse that forces the princesses to dance at the midnight balls. All they need is one invisibility cloak, a black wool chain knit with enchanted silver needles, and that most critical ingredient of all—true love—to conquer their foes in the dark halls below. But malevolent forces are working against them above ground as well, and as cruel as the King Under Stone has seemed, his wrath is mere irritation compared to the evil that awaits Galen and Rose in the brighter world above. Captivating from start to finish, Jessica Day George’s take on the Grimms’ tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses demonstrates yet again her mastery at spinning something entirely fresh out of a story you thought you knew.

I'd love to tell you how I got stuck in a house in the middle of Nowhereville, Illinois. Or how many years I've spent with no memory of the person I used to be. But I can't. Those details are locked down tight inside the chaos of my mind, and I don't have the key. The only thing I do know - I’m dead. Major bummer, right? I spend my days doing what I do best - scaring off anyone who steps foot inside my house. Of course, ghost girls can't own houses, but that's beside the point. A girl's got a rep to maintain, and after a close call a while back, I’ve had to step up my game. This ghost girl doesn't want to be exorcised anytime soon. Just when my unlife is getting increasingly dull, a team of hot paranormal researchers shows up to investigate the cause of all the unusual activity. Now I don't know whether I should bust out my normal bag of tricks or take a chance on making my presence known in other, potentially naughty, ways. Don't judge. Ghost girls have needs too, ya know, and mine have gone unmet for way too long. Cole, Knox, Macklin, Thad & Levi might have just gotten more than they bargained for - namely, me - but this feels like so much more than insta-lust. With every encounter, this sense of familiarity just won’t leave me the hell alone. Who are they? Who am I? In the end, maybe I'll finally know the truth, and the guys might just get something they didn't even know they were missing. A Fate Unknown is book one in a medium-burn, why choose trilogy. The FMC will have a HEA with all of her guys by book three.

Samozřejmě chci být jako oni. Jsou krásní jako čepele ukované v nějakém božském ohni. Budou žít navždy. A Cardan je ještě krásnější než ostatní. Nenávidím ho víc než všechny ostatní. Nenávidím ho tak moc, že když se na něj někdy podívám, sotva se dokážu nadechnout.

O deset let později Jude netouží po ničem jiném než tam patřit, navzdory své smrtelnosti. Mnoho víl však lidmi opovrhuje. Zvlášť princ Cardan, nejmladší a nejzlovolnější syn Vysokého krále.

Když však zrada hrozí utopit vílí dvory v násilí, bude Jude muset v nebezpečném spojenectví riskovat svůj život, aby zachránila své sestry i samotnou říši víl.

Harry se nemůže dočkat, až se po letních prázdninách vrátí do školy. (Kdo by se nemohl, kdyby žil s příšernými Dursleyovými?) Když však Harry dorazí do Bradavic, atmosféra je napjatá.

The fae of the Night Court are desperately searching for a new monarch to crown before the Court collapses. I couldn’t care less. I’ve done everything I can to bury my fae blood and embrace my human half. That changes when some fae nobles show up on my doorstep and announce that I’m the next Queen of the Night Court. Becoming an unwilling fae queen? Check. Inheriting a terrible mess? Double check. The Court is almost bankrupt, my citizens’ favorite hobby is backstabbing one another, and I don’t know who I can trust since someone keeps trying to assassinate me. Speaking of assassins, I get introduced to the best in the business—a fae lord nicknamed the Wraith. His deadly profession means he fears no one. The only reason he doesn’t kill me on the spot is he’s also a member of the Night Court and the Court’s magic protects me. But that doesn’t prevent him from trading verbal barbs with me whenever we meet. And if cat herding all these uncooperative fae and chatting with assassins wasn’t enough, I’m required to get married as part of some archaic Court law. This “queen” gig is the worst! Supposedly I can choose anyone to marry, but with all the infighting I need someone who is neutral and won’t provoke more political power struggles. So, why do I keep thinking of a certain assassin? Court of Midnight and Deception is an urban fantasy trilogy featuring fae, werewolves, vampires, and wizards. It’s packed with humor, adventure, and a sweet, slow burn romance between a reluctant fae queen and the assassin who tried to kill her.

Jsou letní prázdniny a Harry Potter brzy nastoupí do čtvrtého ročníku Bradavické školy čar a kouzel. Harry odpočítává dny: čekají ho nová kouzla, další famfrpálové zápasy a pokračování v průzkumu bradavického hradu. Harry si však musí dávat pozor – číhají na něj nečekaná nebezpečí...

Harry Potter se chystá nastoupit do pátého ročníku Bradavické školy čar a kouzel. Na rozdíl od většiny školáků si Harry letní prázdniny nikdy neužívá, ale tyto jsou ještě horší než obvykle. Dursleyovi mu samozřejmě ztrpčují život, ale zdá se, že ho zanedbávají i jeho nejlepší přátelé Ron a Hermiona. Harry už toho má dost. Začíná si myslet, že musí udělat něco, cokoli, aby svou situaci změnil, když letní prázdniny skončí velmi dramatickým způsobem. To, co Harry ve svém novém roce v Bradavicích objeví, obrátí jeho svět vzhůru nohama...

I thought becoming Queen of the Night Court and marrying the deadliest fae assassin in the supernatural community were the biggest dangers I’d ever face. Hah! Once I meet the fae monarchs of the other local Courts, I realize the good times are only just beginning! They hate my guts and don’t even bother to use their fae tricks to hide their disgust of me and my human blood. At least I know where I stand with them, which is more than I can say for my husband, Rigel. My relationship with Rigel is…complicated. We married for political reasons—my greatest desire was that he wouldn’t kill me after the ceremony. But now that he’s saved me from countless attempts on my life and joked with me through boring Court socials, my thoughts about him have veered into uncomfortable territory. Not that I have time to think about all of this. Those attempts on my life I mentioned? Yeah, they’re getting bolder and a lot harder to survive. I’m confident one of the other monarchs is behind it all, but I don’t have the power to make them stop. So far, my wits and Rigel’s blades have gotten us through everything. But if something BIG gets dropped on us, will we survive? Court of Midnight and Deception is an urban fantasy trilogy featuring fae, werewolves, vampires, and wizards. It’s packed with humor, adventure, and a sweet, slow burn romance between a reluctant fae queen and the assassin who tried to kill her.

Since the day I was crowned Queen of the Night Court, someone has been trying to kill me. Yay, me! Finding my would-be-killer has been last on my to do list for a long time—which should tell you what a dumpster fire my life has been. But I can’t ignore it anymore. Whoever is plotting against me is getting serious. If I don’t do something soon I might not survive their next attempt. Normally, I’d count on Rigel—my consort, who also happens to be a deadly fae assassin—to have my back. But he’s been gone for two months, and when he finally returns he won’t say where he’s been. Great, that’s totally not sketchy. To make matters worse, I love Rigel—and he doesn’t believe me when I tell him! How’s that for romance? New to do list: catch my would-be killer and convince my own husband I love him. All in a day’s work for the Night Queen. I knew I should have demanded a job description before I took on this queen gig… Crown of Shadows is the final book in the Court of Midnight and Deception urban fantasy trilogy and is part of the Magiford Supernatural City world. It features fae, werewolves, vampires, and wizards. It’s packed with humor, adventure, and a sweet, slow burn romance between a reluctant fae queen and the assassin who tried to kill her.

I’m supposed to be the Alpha's mate. Screw that. Since I was born, I was destined to be one thing—the Alpha’s Mate. It should be every girl’s dream. Not mine, though. He’s too dark and damaged, and I’ve got a secret he can never know: I’m not a true wolf. Instead of waiting for him to figure out I’m an abomination, I left on my fifteenth birthday. But I didn’t go far. No way in hell would I let fate drive me from the town I love. Ten years later, I’m still hiding in plain sight. When I occasionally see him on the street—deadly, sexy, powerful—I just walk by. Keep my head down. Until that night. Wrong place, wrong time, and suddenly I’m accused of murdering someone from my old pack. And he’s there. Blaming me. I’ve got one chance to prove my innocence and find the real killer, or I'm dead by shifter law. Fortunately, the Alpha doesn't recognize me because I'm no longer the same ugly duckling. He senses I'm special though, and he won’t stop until he figures out the truth. But when he does, I’ll be in danger from more than just the murderer.

Od té doby, co se Harry Potter vrátil na léto domů, byli Dursleyovi tak zlí a odporní, že si Harry nepřál nic jiného než vrátit se do Bradavické školy čar a kouzel. Jenže právě když si balí kufry, dostane Harry varování od podivného skřítka, který mu říká, že pokud se Harry vrátí do Bradavic, dojde ke katastrofě. A skutečně k ní dojde. Ve druhém Harryho roce v Bradavicích se objeví nová trápení a hrůzy, včetně nesnesitelně namyšleného nového profesora a ducha, který straší na dívčích záchodcích. Pak však začnou ty opravdové potíže – někdo proměňuje bradavické studenty v kámen. Mohl by to být Draco Malfoy, jedovatější soupeř než kdy dřív? Mohlo by to snad být Hagrid, jehož tajemná minulost je konečně odhalena? Anebo by to mohl být ten, koho v Bradavicích všichni podezírají nejvíc… sám Harry Potter?

A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond... The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war. Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all—the Crown Prince Aldrik—she finds herself enticed into his world. Now she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined.

Soldier… Sorcerer… Savior… Who is Vhalla Yarl? Vhalla Yarl marches to war as property of the Solaris Empire. The Emperor counts on her to bring victory, the Senate counts on her death, and the only thing Vhalla can count on is the fight of her life. As she grapples with the ghosts of her past, new challenges in the present threaten to shatter the remnants of her fragile sanity. Will she maintain her humanity? Or will she truly become the Empire’s monster? Fire Falling is the second book in the Air Awakens Series.

A woman awoken in air, a soldier forged by fire, a weapon risen from blood. Vhalla Yarl has made it to the warfront in the North. Forged by blood and fire, she has steeled her heart for the final battle of the Solaris Empire’s conquest. The choices before Vhalla are no longer servitude or freedom, they are servitude or death. The stakes have never been higher as the Emperor maintains his iron grip on her fate, holding everything Vhalla still has left to lose in the balance. Book Three of the Air Awakens Series

Ever feel like you don’t belong? Try being a hunter living with werewolves. I’m the definition of “doesn’t fit in”. I’m not Pack, but I’m not the enemy, either. I struggle to survive among werewolves who are stronger and faster than me, and are competitive enough to break a bone or two for the sake of “fun.” Greyson, their alpha, is the worst of them all. Blatantly relentless and twice as deadly, Greyson rules the Pack and expands its territory even though it’s already the largest in the region. I just wish he’d stop interfering with my life. He’s got enough trouble of his own with his incomplete mate bond, but he’s made it his hobby to tease and test me at every opportunity. Doesn’t my life sound fun? When wolves from surrounding packs start mindlessly attacking the innocent humans in our city, Timber Ridge, everything changes. Werewolves don’t turn feral without reason. Which means someone is making this happen, and they’re targeting our Pack. I don’t like where this is going, but how am I supposed to stop a feral wolf outbreak when I’m just one hunter? Can Greyson and I set aside our differences to see the Pack through this? Hunted is the first book in the Pack of Dawn and Destiny urban fantasy trilogy and is part of the Magiford Supernatural City world. It features werewolves, hunters, and fae, and is filled with humor, adventure, and a sweet romance that will have you laughing in delight.

Harry wurde mit einer düsteren, gefährlichen und scheinbar unmöglichen Aufgabe belastet: Voldemorts verbliebene Horkruxe aufzuspüren und zu zerstören. Noch nie hat Harry sich so allein gefühlt oder einer Zukunft gegenübergestanden, die so voller Schatten war.

Im siebten und letzten Band der Harry-Potter-Reihe enthüllt J. K. Rowling auf spektakuläre Weise die Antworten auf die vielen Fragen, auf die so sehnsüchtig gewartet wurde.

Bound as one to love, honor, or burn. Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned. Sworn to the Church as a Chasseur, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. His path was never meant to cross with Lou's, but a wicked stunt forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony. The war between witches and Church is an ancient one, and Lou's most dangerous enemies bring a fate worse than fire. Unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, a choice must be made. And love makes fools of us all. This is a previously published edition of ISBN 9780062878021.
