Empire of the Vampire
The SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES bestseller from the award-winning author of the Nevernight Chronicle
It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise.
Ever since, vampires have waged war against humanity building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own. Gabriel de León, half man, half monster, and last remaining silversaint – a sworn brother of the holy Silver Order dedicated to defending the realm from the creatures of the night – is all that stands between the world and its end.
Imprisoned by the very monsters he has vowed to destroy Gabriel is forced to tell his story – a story of legendary battles and forbidden love, of faith lost and friendships won, of the War of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity’s last remaining hope:
The Holy Grail.
Featuring the darkly beautiful illustrations of Bon Orthwick.
The Empire of Ashes
The White Drake's army has cut a bloody swathe across the world, leaving nothing but ash in its wake. Thousands of innocents have died beneath its blades and countless more will surely follow.
Only small-time criminal Claydon Torcreek and master spy Lizanne Lethridge - along with their ragtag band of allies - stand between the white drake's fury and the world's end.
To save the future, they must delve into the past - and unravel a timeless mystery that might just turn the tide once and for all.
Armies will clash and ancient secrets will be revealed in The Empire of Ashes, the thrilling conclusion to Anthony Ryan's Draconis Memoria series.
Empire of the Vampire - Vámpírbirodalom
Huszonhét éve kelt utoljára a nap, így az éj lényei három évtizede prédálnak a halódó nap derengésében.
Saját örök birodalmuk építésével a miénk egyre satnyul. Immár csupán néhány kihunyó fénypetty küszködik a sötétség növekvő tengerében.
Gabriel de León a birodalom és az egyház védelmére
felesküdött rend, az ezüstszentek utolsó tagja.
De a nap eltűnésével már az Ezüst Rend sem bír az áradattal.
Ősellenségei fogságában az utolsó ezüstszent kénytelen elmesélni a történetét.
Legendás csaták és tiltott szerelem, elveszett hit és újjáéledő barátságok, a Vérháborúk és az Örök Király történetét,
aminek végcélja az emberiség utolsó reménye:
A Szent Grál.
A Vámpírbirodalom illusztrált, epikus, dark fantasy;
az Interjú a vámpírral, Az út és A szél neve törvénytelen gyereke.
Az utóbbi évek legegyedibb vámpírregénye.

Only the greatest sacrifice can turn the tide of war. War is brewing in the fifth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon.

But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, dark forces stand poised to claim her world.

The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air
"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
Empire State Bastard - Rivers Of Heresy (Green) LP
KDO: Empire State Bastard je projektem frontmana Biffy Clyro a kytaristy Mikea Vennarta. Vennart se poprvé se Simonem Neilem setkal v roce 2002. V únoru toho roku jeho kapela Oceansize sdílela pódium v manchesterském klubu Night And Day Café se zatím neznámými Biffy Clyro. Později, když úspěch desky Only Revolution katapultoval Biffy Clyro do stratosféry a učinil z nich jednu z nejdůležitějších rockových kapel na ostrovech, se Vennart stal koncertním kytaristou populární skotské skupiny.
CO: Empire State Bastard na debutu Rivers Of Heresy dobrodružně zkoumají temná zákoutí metalu a jeho žánrových extrémů, ať už jde o hardcore, frenetický trash ve stylu Slayer, klaustrofobický sludge nebo stoner metal ve stylu Sleep. Album nabízí agresivní i niterné pojetí té nejtvrdší hudby. Většinu písní složil kytarista Mike Vennart až poté, co Simon Neil přišel s myšlenkou i názvem společného projektu. Nahrávka je k dispozici na CD a LP.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

THE GODS ARE LURKING IN THE SHADOWS.
As war against the Empire rages, Foolish Cur knows there is a greater threat. The emperor plans his own coup against the gods, and they will wreak destruction if he tries. To stop him, Foolish Cur might have to risk everything - and resort to ancient magics that could tear the world apart.
This is perfect for fans of Robin Hobb and Shelley Parker-Chan.

Na konci cesty - Krematórium v Bratislave - At the End of the Road The Bratislava Crematorium
Kniha sa podrobne zaoberá mimoriadnym architektonickým dielom - bratislavským krematóriom. Postavili ho pred pol storočím (1968) za neobyčajne priaznivej súhry okolností, no predchádzal tomu dlhý zápas o jeho zriadenie, ktorého počiatky siahajú až do roku 1889. Preto kniha približuje aj históriu moderného kremačného hnutia v Európe so zreteľom na dlhý zápas mesta Bratislava o krematórium, ďalej sa zaoberá domácimi a zahraničnými architektonickými podnetmi, ktoré ovplyvnili architektúru objektu. Okrem príbehu samotnej budovy a urnového hája, v ktorom stojí, sa dočítate o tvorivej dráhe autora budovy, architekta Ferdinanda Milučkého, príslušníka prvej povojnovej slovenskej architektonickej generácie, ale aj súvislostiach vzniku pozoruhodných výtvarných diel z areálu krematória - sôch od troch špičkových slovenských výtvarníkov. Text Matúša Dullu v slovenčine a angličtine sprevádzajú umelecké fotografie Olje Triašky Stefanović. Snímky citlivo zachytávajú premeny krematória a prostredia, v ktorom sa nachádza, počas jednotlivých ročných období. Publikácia vychádza pri príležitosti päťdesiateho výročia vzniku prvého slovenského krematória.
The Education of an Idealist
'Her highly personal and reflective memoir ... is a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world' Barack Obama
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY:
The New York Times * Time * The Economist * The Washington Post * Vanity Fair * Times Literary Supplement
'What can one person do?' In this vibrant, galvanizing memoir, human rights advocate and Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question.
As she traces her path from Irish immigrant to war correspondent and activist to eventually becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the United Nations, Power writes with a unique blend of suspenseful storytelling, vivid character portraits and disarming honesty.
Her account illuminates the challenges of navigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice (and raise two young children along the way), and it shows how - even in the face of daunting challenges - each of us can make a difference.
