Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds. The Bands of Mourning are the mythical metal minds owned by the Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read. Waxillium Ladrian is recruited to travel south to the city of New Seran to investigate. Along the way he discovers hints that point to the true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as The Set.

Return to #1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with The Alloy of Law, comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in The Lost Metal. For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set—with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders—since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner, Wayne, find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead. Conflict between the capital, Elendel, and the Outer Cities only favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate—whose corruption Wax and his wife, Steris, have sought to expose—and Bilming is even more entangled. After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial's god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn't the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere—Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial . . . at any cost. Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.

Sedmý díl série Percy Jackson a Olympané, navazující na dobrodružství z knihy Kalich bohů.

Nobody can know that Emmalynn Marie is actually the daughter of Tristan Melicent-Marie Atera, one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world; that's why she's now attending the Callistro Academy, an elite, private, all-girls boarding school that trains its students to become Hunters, people who hunt those like Emma. When the greatest Hunter in history Alexa Delphine finds her and suspects her of being Tristan's descendant—and begins hunting her—Emma soon realizes that everyone around her has a secret; how long can she keep hers? It should be easy for the world's most powerful sorcerer to ever live... right? Written by 17-year-old Ariana Tosado, "Our Mistaken Identity" is the first book in the Emmalynn Atera series, and Ariana's first serious project. It is the very beginning of Emma's journey, and Ariana hopes it is also the beginning of hers as a young author.

Wer schlug Medusa den Kopf ab? Wer wurde von einer Bärin großgezogen? Wer zähmte Pegasus? Man muss ein Halbgott sein, um das zu wissen, und Percy Jackson kann euch alles über die wagemutigen Taten von Perseus, Atalante, Bellerophon und den übrigen großen griechischen Helden erzählen. In dem humorvollen, respektlosen Stil, den die Leser von Percy erwarten (»Ich habe in meiner Zeit einige schlimme Erfahrungen gemacht, aber die Helden, von denen ich euch erzählen werde, waren die ursprünglichen Pechvögel der alten Schule. Sie haben mutig Dinge vermasselt, wie sie vor ihnen noch niemand vermasselt hatte …«), und ergänzt durch lebendige Illustrationen des Caldecott-Preisträgers John Rocco, wird diese Geschichtensammlung zum neuen unverzichtbaren Klassiker für Rick Riordans Scharen treuer Fans – und für alle, die einen Helden brauchen. Also schnappt euch euren brennenden Speer. Zieht euren Umhang aus Löwenfell an. Poliert euren Schild und vergewissert euch, dass ihr Pfeile im Köcher habt. Wir reisen etwa viertausend Jahre zurück, um Monstern die Köpfe abzuschlagen, ein paar Königreiche zu retten, einigen Göttern in den Hintern zu schießen, die Unterwelt zu plündern und bösen Leuten Beute zu stehlen. Und zum Nachtisch sterben wir schmerzhafte, tragische Tode. Bereit? Super. Los geht’s.
