The Shadow of the Gods
A century has passed since the gods fought and drove themselves to extinction. Now only their bones remain, promising great power to those brave enough to seek them out.
As whispers of war echo across the land of Vigrid, fate follows in the footsteps of three warriors: a huntress on a dangerous quest, a noblewoman pursuing battle fame, and a thrall seeking vengeance among the mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn.
All three will shape the fate of the world as it once more falls under the shadow of the gods.
Set in a brand-new, Norse-inspired world, and packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic new fantasy saga from bestselling author John Gwynne.

'A storytelling assurance rare for a debut ...Fans of Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson will find much to admire' Guardian AS DESTINY CALLS, A JOURNEY BEGINS It has been twenty years since the god-like Augurs were overthrown and killed. Now, those who once served them - the Gifted - are spared only because they have accepted the rebellion's Four Tenets, vastly limiting their own powers.

But when Davian discovers he wields the forbidden powers of the Augurs, he sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything. To the west, a young man whose fate is intertwined with Davian's wakes up in the forest, covered in blood and with no memory of who he is ...And in the far north, an ancient enemy long thought defeated, begins to stir.

What is huncút?
Slovenskí emigranti, ktorí sa postarali o najdlhší súdny proces štátu New York od roku 1683. Policajný riaditeľ Matovič z Humenného, ktorý bojoval s talianskou mafiou spolu s dolapiteľom Al Caponeho. Slovenskí farmári z Arkansasu, ktorých dávali v kongrese za vzor pri potláčaní segregácie na juhu. Ale aj Novozámčanka, ktorá bola očitou svedkyňou najslávnejšej prestrelky divokého západu.
Všetky tieto príbehy autor objavil pri mapovaní stôp po slovenských mestečkách v Spojených štátoch amerických. V jeho reportážach sa prenesiete na malebné floridské predmestie Slavia, k družnej arkansaskej farmárskej komunite Slovak, do moderného developerského mesta na pobreží astronautov, k megalomanskému projektu na newyorskom Long Islande, ale aj k osudu jedného z prvých slovenských Amerikánov, ktorý sníval o vlastnej osade v Iowe.
Na začiatku 20. storočia žil v USA približne každý štvrtý Slovák, väčšina v priemyselných oblastiach severovýchodu, no časť sa rozhodla usadiť vo vlastných „kolóniách“. Kniha What is huncút? cez historické reportáže mapuje príbehy týchto pozoruhodných osád, zároveň odkrýva pozadie najväčšej prisťahovaleckej vlny z dnešného územia Slovenska do USA.
Kniha chce byť aj inšpiráciou pre všetkých, ktorí so svojimi rodinami v Amerike dávno stratili kontakt, aby sa o túto fascinujúcu históriu začali opäť zaujímať. Preto popri príbehoch slovenských kolónií tiež chronologicky mapuje najväčšiu prisťahovaleckú vlnu Slovákov do USA od jej počiatkov na divokom západe cez najsilnejšie roky v nebezpečných baniach a oceliarňach až po rozpad slovenských komunít, a tiež vzťahov s príbuznými v starom kraji po druhej svetovej vojne.
Mlha nad Shadow Sands (Kate Marshallová 2)
Kate Marshallová a její asistent Tristan Harper vyšetřují další zapeklitý případ. Jak spolu souvisí zmizení mladých lidí a oblast Shadow Sands? A jakou roli hraje hustá anglická mlha?
Při potápění ve vodní nádrži Shadow Sands objeví Kate Marshallová mrtvé tělo mladíka, který býval vynikajícím plavcem. Přivolaní policisté případ označí za tragickou nehodu, přestože má Kate své pochybnosti.
Postupně se pochybností a otázek vynořuje víc: Proč si šla oběť zaplavat uprostřed noci? Proč jeho zranění neodpovídají policejnímu scénáři? A proč je mrtvých těl, která se v nádrži našla, víc? Je to jen nešťastná souhra náhod, nebo úkladný vrah zneužívá toho, že na něj nikdo nevidí?
Kate si je jistá, že okolo rezervoáru Shadow Sands se toho děje víc, než se na první pohled zdá, obzvlášť když v okolí padne hustá mlha. Lidé už roky tiše mizí, a když se ztratí další mladá žena, Kate a její asistent Tristan mají podle indicií jen několik dní na to, aby ji zachránili před stejným osudem.

Streets, The - The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light LP
„The Streets“ je anglický hudobný projekt, ktorý vedie spevák a multiinštrumentalista Mike Skinner. Projekt bol založený na začiatku 90. rokov, keď bol Skinner ešte tínedžer; žiadna hudba však formálne nevznikla až do začiatku 21. storočia. V počiatočnej fáze projektu The Streets vydal projekt päť štúdiových albumov: Original Pirate Material (2002), .A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004), The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed ( 2008) a Computers and blues (2011). V tomto období The Streets vydali aj sériu úspešných singlov, ktoré sa dostali do Top 40 britského singlového rebríčka – vrátane „Has It Come to This?“, „Fit but You Know It“, „Dry Your Eyes“ (tzv. jediný singel číslo jedna), "When You Was't Famous" a "Prangin' Out". Po rozpustení The Streets v roku 2011 sa Skinner venoval niekoľkým ďalším hudobným projektom, než nakoniec v roku 2017 obnovil The Streets. V roku 2020 bol vydaný nový mixtape None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive. Šiesty štúdiový album The Streets "The Darker The Shadow the Brighter the Light" vychádza po 13. rokoch v októbri 2023.

"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.
Shadow Of Night
The #1 New York Timesbestselling sequel to A Discovery of Witchesis as ';enchanting, engrossing, and as impossible to put down as its predecessor' (Miami Herald)
J. K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Anne Riceonly a few writers capture the imagination the way that Deborah Harkness has done with books one and two of her New York Timesbestselling All Souls trilogy.
A Discovery of Witchesintroduced reluctant witch Diana Bishop, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont, and the battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782.
Harkness's much-anticipated sequel, Shadow of Night, picks up from A Discovery of Witches' cliffhanger ending. Diana and Matthew time-travel to Elizabethan London and are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782deepens and Diana searches for a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them, and they embark on a very differentand vastly more dangerousjourney.
Innersphere - In The Shadow Of The Sun CD
KDO: INNERSPHERE je melodic death metalová kapela z Plzně založená na konci roku 2015. Tento kvartet míchá prvky různých metalových i rockových subžánrů s patrnými vlivy progressive, thrash, black nebo doom metalu, přičemž si stále zachovávají agresivní elementy napříč tvorbou. Poslední alba jsou zaměřena na výpravu, atmosféru a ducha skladeb. INNERSPHERE jsou aktivní kapelou hned od první sestavy (2016), kdy objíždějí koncerty nejen v ČR, ale také v Německu, Polsku, Rakousku či na Balkáně. Vydané byly zatím dvě desky nahrávky a nyní přichází třetí řadové album „In The Shadow of the Sun”. Cíl INNERSPHERE byl a je stejný od samotného začátku – tvořit unikátní hudbu, vyvíjet ji i sama sebe.
CO: Třetí album INNERSPHERE se nese ve velmi vážném duchu. Propracované deathové melodie a úderné rytmy doprovází temná poselství korespondující s aktuálním děním ve světě. „In the Shadow of the Sun“ není koncepčním albem, leč mísí se v ní různá témata. Ať jde o určitou formu mytologie, metafor na psychiku člověka či vlastní zážitky, narážky na společnost a lidstvo jako takové. Z té hudební stránky se jedná o poměrně unikátní mix stylů a prvků, které jsme na nahrávce použili. Hudba by v první řadě měla být výpravou skladby, kterou provází a měla by pomoct posluchači se vžít do dané věci, tématu nebo alespoň se nad ní v určitý moment zamyslet. Zároveň jsme chtěli neubírat na říznosti a šťavnatosti hudební stránky. Album má předpoklad oslovit lidi preferující sofistikovanější kompozice, melodiku, co se nebojí se více poslechů a rádi objevují. Na desce je použito větší množství čistých, sborových zpěvů než dříve a je prolnuto doprovodem mellotronu, který má nádherný, archaický zvuk umocňující mystiku a epičnost metalových písní. aAlbum bylo nahráno ve studiu Barn pod taktovkou mistra zvuku Dana Frimla.

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.

The Mountain Shadow
The first glimpse of the sea on Marine Drive filled my heart, if not my head. I turned away from the red shadow. I stopped thinking of that pyramid of killers, and Sanjay's improvidence. I stopped thinking about my own part in the madness. And I rode, with my friends, into the end of everything. Shantaram introduced millions of readers to a cast of unforgettable characters through Lin, an Australian fugitive, working as a passport forger for a branch of the Bombay mafia. In The Mountain Shadow, the long-awaited sequel, Lin must find his way in a Bombay run by a different generation of mafia dons, playing by a different set of rules. It has been two years since the events in Shantaram, and since Lin lost two people he had come to love: his father figure, Khaderbhai, and his soul mate, Karla, married to a handsome Indian media tycoon. Lin returns from a smuggling trip to a city that seems to have changed too much, too soon. Many of his old friends are long gone, the new mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues, and a fabled holy man challenges everything that Lin thought he'd learned about love and life.But Lin can't leave the Island City: Karla, and a fatal promise, won't let him go.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
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.

Lacná kniha The Shadow Land (-90%)
From the #1 bestselling author of The Historian comes a mesmerizing novel that spans the past and the present—and unearths the troubled history of a gorgeous but haunted country. A young American woman, Alexandra Boyd, has traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria, hoping that life abroad will salve the wounds left by the loss of her beloved brother. Soon after arriving in this elegant East European city, however, she helps an elderly couple into a taxi—and realizes too late that she has accidentally kept one of their bags. Inside she finds an ornately carved wooden box engraved with a name: Stoyan Lazarov. Raising the hinged lid, she discovers that she is holding an urn filled with human ashes. As Alexandra sets out to locate the family and return this precious item, she will first have to uncover the secrets of a talented musician who was shattered by political oppression—and she will find out all too quickly that this knowledge is fraught with its own danger. Elizabeth Kostova’s new novel is a tale of immense scope that delves into the horrors of a century and traverses the culture and landscape of this mysterious country. Suspenseful and beautifully written, it explores the power of stories, the pull of the past, and the hope and meaning that can sometimes be found in the aftermath of loss. Advance praise for The Shadow Land “In The Shadow Land, Elizabeth Kostova, a master storyteller, brings vividly to life an unfamiliar country—Bulgaria—and a painful history that feels particularly relevant now. You won’t want to put down this remarkable book.”—Claire Messud, author of The Woman Upstairs “In this brilliant work, what appears at first a minor mystery quickly becomes emblematic of a whole country’s hidden history. Lyrical and compelling, The Shadow Land proves a profound meditation on how evil is inflicted, endured, and, through courage and compassion, defeated. Elizabeth Kostova’s third novel clearly establishes her as one of America’s finest writers.”—Ron Rash, author of The Risen “The Shadow Land is thrilling, and not just as a gripping tale. It’s also thrilling to watch such a talented writer cast her spell. The central character actually begins this deft novel in an urn, only to emerge as one of the most memorable characters I’ve encountered in a long time.”—Richard Russo, author of Everybody’s Fool “Transporting . . . draws us into Bulgarian history and character revelation like an elegant, mysterious labyrinth. Page-turning, evocative, and richly imagined.”—Dominic Smith, author of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos Praise for Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian “Quite extraordinary . . . Kostova is a natural storyteller. . . . She has refashioned the vampire myth into a compelling contemporary novel, a late-night page-turner.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Hypnotic . . . a thrill ride through history.”—The Denver Post “Part thriller, part history, part romance . . . Kostova has a keen sense of storytelling and she has a marvelous story to tell.”—Baltimore Sun Praise for The Swan Thieves “Exquisite.”—The Boston Globe “Engrossing.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Stunning . . . A beautifully written tale of art, love and an obsession triggered by both.”—Associated Press.
