My chest tightened, and as I watched the hills rising and falling around us, my eyes prickled. I didn't know how to make sense of this feeling. Could you be homesick for a place you had never been?

Fantastická cesta do pekla, plná rivality a vykoupení, od autorky bestselleru Babylon. Postgraduantka Alice Lawová měla odjakživa jen jediný cíl: vyniknout v oboru analytické magie nade všechny ostatní. Obětovala tomu všechno, svou sebeúctu, zdraví, milostný život a hlavně příčetnost. Jenže jediný člověk, který jí tento sen může splnit, největší mág na světě, je mrtvý a navíc — k její smůle — v pekle. Alice se za ním vydává spolu se svým úhlavním akademickým sokem Peterem Murdochem. Ovšem peklo je jiné, než tvrdí filozofové, vládnou zde pravidla postavená na hlavu, a pokud se z něj má Alice dostat živá, budou muset s Peterem táhnout za jeden provaz. Tedy pokud vůbec dokážou najít společnou řeč. Podaří se jim to, nebo se při tom pozabíjejí?

Two graduate students must set aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul, perhaps at the cost of their own.Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality—her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world—that is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands, and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams. Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the same conclusion.

A new dark academic fantasy by the New York Times bestselling author of The Poppy War Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal. Oxford, 1836. The city of dreaming spires. It is the centre of all knowledge and progress in the world. And at its centre is Babel, the Royal Institute of Translation. The tower from which all the power of the Empire flows. Orphaned in Canton and brought to England by a mysterious guardian, Babel seemed like paradise to Robin Swift. Until it became a prison...

Kuang's acclaimed, award-winning epic fantasy that combines the history of twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters, to devastating, enthralling effect. After saving her nation of Nikan from foreign invaders and battling the evil Empress Su Daji in a brutal civil war, Fang Runin was betrayed by allies and left for dead. Despite her losses, Rin hasn't given up on those for whom she has sacrificed so much--the people of the southern provinces and especially Tikany, the village that is her home. Returning to her roots, Rin meets difficult challenges--and unexpected opportunities. While her new allies in the Southern Coalition leadership are sly and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation. Backed by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners. As her power and influence grows, though, will she be strong enough to resist the Phoenix's intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it?
