Three men. One battle. No Heroes.They say Black Dow's killed more men than winter, and clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbour, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and the armies are toiling through the northern mud.Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, and they've brought a lot of sharpened metal with them.Bremer dan Gorst, disgraced master swordsman, has sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield. Obsessed with redemption and addicted to violence, he's far past caring how much blood gets spilled in the attempt. Even if it's his own.Prince Calder isn't interested in honour, and still less in getting himself killed. All he wants is power, and he'll tell any lie, use any trick, and betray any friend to get it. Just as long as he doesn't have to fight for it himself.Curnden Craw, the last honest man in the North, has gained nothing from a life of warfare but swollen knees and frayed nerves. He hardly even cares who wins any more, he just wants to do the right thing. But can he even tell what that is with the world burning down around him?Over three bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided. But with both sides riddled by intrigues, follies, feuds and petty jealousies, it is unlikely to be the noblest hearts, or even the strongest arms that prevail.Three men. One battle. No Heroes.

O Černém Dowovi se říká, že zabil víc mužů, než zima, a na trůn Severu se vyšplhal po hoře lebek. Král Spojeného království nemíní s úsměvem přihlížet, jak leze ještě výš. Rozkazy byly vydány a vojska se plahočí severským blátem. Tisíce mužů se blíží k zapomenutému kamennému kruhu, bezcennému pahorku v naprosto nedůležitém údolí, a nesou si s sebou spoustu ostrého železa. Šermířský mistr Bremer dan Gorst přísahal, že na tomto bojišti znovu získá svou ukradenou čest. Je tou představou tak posedlý a tak navyklý na zabíjení, že se nestará, kolik krve při tom prolije. I kdyby měla být jeho vlastní. Prince Caldera čest nezajímá a už vůbec nemá v úmyslu se nechat zabít. Jediné, po čem touží, je moc a řekne jakoukoliv lež, použije každý trik a podrazí třeba všechny své přátele, aby jí získal víc. Alespoň dokud o ni nebude muset bojovat sám. Curnden Dávič je poslední čestný muž na Severu a život válečníka mu nepřinesl nic než opuchlé klouby a pocuchané nervy. Už mu sotva záleží na tom, kdo zvítězí, chce jen dělat správné věci. Ale jak poznat, které to jsou, když svět kolem něj zmírá v plamenech? Ve třech krvavých dnech bitvy rozhodnou o osudu Severu. Ale jelikož jsou obě strany prolezlé intrikami, hloupostí, řevnivostí a malichernou žárlivostí, je velmi nepravděpodobné, že o něm bude rozhodovat čistota srdce nebo i síla paží…

Bitter and merciless war is coming to the frozen north. It's bloody and dangerous and the Union army, split by politics and hamstrung by incompetence, is utterly unprepared for the slaughter that's coming. Lacking experience, training, and in some cases even weapons the army is scarcely equipped to repel Bethod's scouts, let alone the cream of his forces. In the heat-ravaged south the Gurkish are massing to assault the city of Dagoska, defended by Inquisitor Glokta. The city is braced for the inevitable defeat and massacre to come, preparations are made to make the Gurkish pay for every inch of land ...but a plot is festering to hand the city to its beseigers without a fight, and the previous Inquisitor of Dagoska vanished without trace. Threatened from within and without the city, Glokta needs answers, and he needs them soon. And to the east a small band of malefactors travel to the edge of the world to reclaim a device from history - a Seed, hidden for generations - with tremendous destructive potential.A device which could put a end to war, to the army of Eaters in the South, to the invasion of Shanka from the North - but only if it can be found, and only if its power can be controlled ...

Pro hrdiny jako je Leo dan Brock a Soumrak Zběsilec, šťastné, jen když mohou tasit meč, je mír utrpení, které by mělo skončit tak rychle, jak je to jen možné. Nejprve je ale třeba rozdmýchat křivdy, získat moc a shromáždit spojence – a Rikke musí ovládnout moc dlouhého oka dřív, než ji zabije. Nepokoje narůstají v každé společenské vrstvě. Bořiči se stále plíží ve stínech a kují pikle, jak osvobodit obyčejné lidi od okovů poroby, zatímco aristokraté se mezi sebou hašteří kvůli výhodám pro sebe. Orso se snaží najít bezpečnou cestu tím labyrintem nožů, kterým politika je, ale jeho dluhy a nepřátelé se jen násobí. Staré způsoby mizí v propadlišti dějin a staří vůdcové s nimi, ale ti, kdo se chápou otěží moci, nenacházejí žádné spojence, žádné přátele a určitě ne věčný mír.

Její bezprostřední hrozba svede dohromady tři nejnepravděpodobnější muže: barbarského bojovníka Logena Devítiprstého, kterého opustilo štěstí a je na nejlepší cestě stát se mrtvým barbarem, Jezala dan Luthara, šlechtice, vojenského důstojníka a vzor samolibosti, který tráví život v radovánkách, hře v karty a závodním šermem a inkvizitora Glokta, zatrpklého mrzáka bez přátel a s jen velmi málo živými nepřáteli.

London is often called the best place in the world to eat – a city where a new landmark restaurant opens each day, where vertiginous towers, sprawling food halls and central neighbourhoods contain the cuisines of every country in the world. Yet, this London is not where Londoners usually eat. There is another version of London that exists in its marginal spaces, where food culture flourishes in parks and allotments, in warehouses and industrial estates, along rivers and A-roads, in baths and in libraries. A city where Londoners eat, sell, produce and distribute food every day without fanfare, where its food culture weaves in and out of daily urban existence.In a city of rising rents, of gentrification, and displacement, this new and updated edition of London Feeds Itself, edited by the food writer and editor of Vittles, Jonathan Nunn, shows that the true centres of London food culture can be found in ever more creative uses of space, eked out by the people who make up the city. Its chapters explore the charged intersections between food and modern London’s varied urban conditions, from markets and railway arches to places of worship to community centres. 26 essays about 26 different buildings, structures and public amenities in which London’s vernacular food culture can be found, seen through the eyes of writers, architects, journalists and politicians – all accompanied by over 125 guides to some of the city’s best vernacular restaurants across all 33 London boroughs.Contributors: Carla Montemayor, Jenny Lau, Mike Wilson, Claudia Roden, Stephen Buranyi, Rebecca May Johnson, Owen Hatherley, Aditya Chakrabortty, Yvonne Maxwell, Melek Erdal, Sameh Asami, Barclay Bram, Ciaran Thapar, Santiago Peluffo Soneyra, Virginia Hartley, Jess Fagin, Leah Cowan, Ruby Tandoh, Jeremy Corbyn, Dee Woods, Shahed Saleem, Amardeep Singh Dhillon, Zarina Muhammad, Yemisi Aribisala, Nabil Al-Kinani, Sana Badri, Nikesh Shukla.

For readers of Roddy Doyle, Nick Hornby, and Mark Haddon, The Adulterants is a piercingly funny?and cringingly poignant?take on how hard it is to grow up and how hard it is when you don't. Ray Morris is a tech journalist with a forgettable face, a tiresome manner, a small but dedicated group of friends, and a wife, Garthene, who is pregnant. He is a man who has never been punched above the neck. He has never committed adultery with his actual body. He has never been caught up in a riot, nor arrested, nor tagged by the state, nor become an international hate-figure. Not until the summer of 2011, when discontent is rising on the streets and within his marriage. Ray has noticed none of this. Not yet. The Adulterants would be a coming-of-age story if its protagonist could only forget that he is thirty-three years old. Throughout a series of escalating catastrophes, our deadpan antihero keeps up a merciless mental commentary on the foibles and failings of those around him, and the vicissitudes of modern urban life: internet trolls, buy-to-let landlords, open marriages, and the threat posed by more sensitive men. But the wonder of The Adulterants is how we feel ourselves rooting for Ray even as we acknowledge that he deserves everything he gets.
