It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses. Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didn’t lead her in treacherous directions… Making things even more complicated, Julian’s brother Mark—who was captured by the faeries five years ago—has been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind—and they need the Shadowhunters’ help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it?
Zakázaná láska mezi řeckými bohy v podání královny komiksových romantasy. Když Persefona opustila svět smrtelníků a vydala se na Olymp, byla připravena začít nový život. Rychle však objevila temné stránky zdánlivě okouzlující říše bohů, ve které se snaží prosadit — od pomluv ohrožujících její pověst až po namyšleného Apollóna. V pohodě není ani Hádes, který vzdoruje svým citům k mladé bohyni jara a zároveň se snaží udržet si svou osamělou vládu nad podsvětím. A co teprve, když se do celé záležitosti vloží Héra, Afrodita a žárlivé nymfy… Stylové, humorné i lehce necudné převyprávění řeckých mýtů spojuje svět bohů s realitou mobilů, bulváru či korporací, ale také s tématem toxických vztahů nebo manipulace. Série se stala celosvětovým bestsellerem a jedním z největších komiksových fenoménů dneška.
To save her mother’s life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters — never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and her best friend, Simon, has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight. As Clary uncovers more about her family’s past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he’s willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City — whatever the cost? Love is a mortal sin and the secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary and Jace face down Valentine in the final installment of the New York Times bestselling The Mortal Instruments.

In the house of Helios, the sun god and a Titan, a daughter named Circe is born. Unlike her powerful father and alluring mother, Circe is an oddity who seeks companionship among mortals. She discovers her own power through witchcraft, enabling her to transform rivals into monsters and challenge the gods. Fearing her abilities, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she refines her craft, befriends wild beasts, and encounters legendary figures from mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, and the cunning Odysseus. However, her solitude attracts danger, as both men and gods become threatened by her strength. Ultimately, Circe faces the wrath of a vengeful Olympian and must protect her loved ones. This leads her to a pivotal choice: to align with the gods of her birth or embrace the mortals she cherishes. With rich characters, captivating language, and gripping suspense, this tale weaves a narrative of family rivalry, love, and loss, while celebrating the resilience of a woman in a male-dominated world.

Dlouho předtím, než se doktor Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly představil v úspěšném románu Patricka Taylora Doktore, fofrem, jde o život! (česky nakladatelství Leda, 2009), rozveseloval čtenáře v humoristických sloupcích kanadského časopisu pro lékaře. S těmito prapůvodními příhodami obávaného doktora oplývajícího drsně laskavým humorem uprostřed poněkud výstředních obyvatel severoirské vesničky Ballybucklebo se nyní mohou seznámit i čeští čtenáři. Poznáme nelehké začátky mladého nezkušeného lékaře na tradičním venkově v době po válce, kdy doktor O’Reilly opouští britské válečné námořnictvo a zakládá vlastní praxi. Tento bývalý přeborník v boxu a klasický vzdělanec, občasný pytlák, prchlivý hromotluk, který si nenechá nic líbit, ale i skrytý lidumil a hrdý milovník všeho irského, hlavně piva a whisky, zápasí na pozadí milé venkovské scenérie s nepřízní osudu a protivenstvím nemocí. Doktor O’Reilly se však nevzdává. Ať už objevuje nové možnosti medicíny, snaží se přelstít chronické hypochondry a simulanty, bojuje s nabubřenými zbohatlíky nebo láskyplně léčí dětské dušičky, přičemž se hašteří s paličatým kolegou se zkostnatělými názory, dělá vše jen a jen pro dobro svých svěřenců. Občas si zajde na jedno do krčmy U Kačeny, na dostihy chrtů nebo podnikne dobrodružný výlet na moře, přitom ale nezapomíná, že pracovní doba lékaře nikdy nekončí.
**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** "The Minimalists show you how to disconnect from our conditioned material state and reconnect to our true essence: love people and use things. This is not a book about how to live with less, but about how to live more deeply and more fully." —Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Like a Monk AS SEEN ON THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARIES MINIMALISM & LESS IS NOW How might your life be better with less? Imagine a life with less: less stuff, less clutter, less stress and debt and discontent—a life with fewer distractions. Now, imagine a life with more: more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth and contribution and contentment—a life of passion, unencumbered by the trappings of the chaotic world around you. What you’re imagining is an intentional life. And to get there, you’ll have to let go of some clutter that’s in the way. In Love People, Use Things, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus move past simple decluttering to show how minimalism makes room to reevaluate and heal the seven essential relationships in our lives: stuff, truth, self, money, values, creativity, and people. They use their own experiences—and those of the people they have met along the minimalist journey—to provide a template for how to live a fuller, more meaningful life. Because once you have less, you can make room for the right kind of more.
