      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.

When Jace and Clary meet again, Clary is horrified to discover that the demon Lilith’s magic has bound her beloved Jace together with her evil brother Sebastian, and that Jace has become a servant of evil. The Clave is out to destroy Sebastian, but there is no way to harm one boy without destroying the other. As Alec, Magnus, Simon, and Isabelle wheedle and bargain with Seelies, demons, and the merciless Iron Sisters to try to save Jace, Clary plays a dangerous game of her own. The price of losing is not just her own life, but Jace’s soul. She’s willing to do anything for Jace, but can she still trust him? Or is he truly lost? Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.

    • In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. Circe is strange — not powerful and terrible, like her father, nor gorgeous and mercenary like her mother. But she has a dark power of her own : witchcraft. When Circe's gift threatens the gods, she is banished to the island of Aiaia where she hones her occult craft, casting spells, gathering strange herbs and taming wild beasts. Yet a woman who stands alone cannot live in peace for long — and among her island's guests is an unexpected visitor : the mortal Odysseus, for whom Circe will risk everything.

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?

      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.

      Román Stephanie Cliffordové, novinářky New York Times, nám s fascinujícími detaily umožňuje nahlédnout do „zlaté klece” mladých newyorských finančníků a bankovních makléřů, kteří se díky kapitálu svých rodičů, elitním školám a konexím vezou na vlně spekulativních báječných zisků – v době, kdy jen škarohlídi rozpoznávají příznaky krize, jež zanedlouho zasáhne celou Ameriku. Hrdinka Evelína pochází ze skromnějších poměrů, ale díky své ambiciózní matce absolvovala elitní školu a nyní využije všech prostředků, aby pronikla do oslnivého života, který dosud sledovala jenom zpovzdálí. Řečeno s Hemingwayem je oslněna romantickou bázní ze superbohatých, a tak napodobuje snobská tekutá pravidla, slangové výrazy a manýry „aristokratických starých peněz”. Jenomže kam až dosahuje magická hypnotizující moc muzikálových příběhů? Evelína se musí v mnohém zapřít – co se jí ale ukáže, jestli projde zrcadlem a ohlédne se?

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.
