Throne of the Fallen
She didn't want Prince Charming. She wanted the demon.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen is a seductive new standalone novel set within the Kingdom of the Wicked world.
A wicked prince. A fallen painter.
Let the games begin . . .
The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint.
But when a cryptic note arrives at his demon court, signalling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way.
Camilla is an artist with troubles of her own: a desperate mistake has landed her in debt to a notorious rake. Threatened with ruinous scandal, she is forced to enter a devil's bargain with Envy.
A bargain that reveals secrets and ignites passions that neither of them expects.
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the underworld - from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond - while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.

Rýchla a dynamická kartová hra Black Skull Island vás prenesie do sveta pirátov. Na ruke budete mať dve karty postáv s rozmanitými efektami, každé kolo jednou z nich vstúpite do hry. Všetko sa však môže zmeniť - jednotlivé efekty kariet interagujú a vaše úmysly nemusia vyjsť.

En ten tulipán
Detektívny román En ten tulipán z roku 1955 vychádza prvý raz v slovenskom preklade, a hoci patrí k menej známym dielam Agathy Christie, milovníci tvorby legendárnej autorky si aj tentoraz prídu na svoje. Popri famóznom Herculovi Poirotovi v nej vystupuje aj detektívova výkonná, takmer dokonalá sekretárka slečna Lemonová.
A je to práve slečna Lemonová, kto upozorní Hercula Poirota na čudné udalosti v študentskom penzióne Tulipán na Hickory Road, ktorý spravuje jej sestra pani Hubbardová. Za normálnych okolností by drobné krádeže sotva vzbudili záujem slávneho detektíva. Keď si však prečíta bizarný zoznam ukradnutých a zničených vecí - vrátane stetoskopu, pudrenky, starých nohavíc, bonboniéry, rozstrihaného ruksaka a diamantového prsteňa, ktorý sa neskôr našiel v polievke -, musí blahoželať pani Hubbardovej k „jedinečnému a úžasnému rébusu“. Zoznam nedáva vôbec žiadny zmysel, no Poirotovi neschádza z mysle: Ak sú to len obyčajné krádeže a páchateľom je neškodný kleptoman, prečo sú potom obyvatelia penziónu takí vystrašení?

But something rotten dwells in the castle – and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival – and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world, and the people she has come to love.
