Ve městě poháněném industrializovanou magií vypukne válka, která změní realitu… Sancie Gradová je zlodějka, a setsakra dobrá. Vloupat se do přísně střeženého skladiště v docích města Tevanne je pro ni hračka. Sancie ovšem netuší, že artefakt, který má ukrást, v sobě skrývá nepředstavitelnou moc. Dokonce by mohl vyvolat revoluci v magické technice zvané skribování — tato metoda mění vlastnosti běžných předmětů pomocí kódovaných nápisů. Soupeřivé korporace, které tuto magii ovládají, už díky ní přeměnily Tevanne v ohromný nemilosrdný stroj na peníze. Pokud se však zmocní ukradeného artefaktu, přepíšou samotný svět tak, aby sloužil jejich záměrům. Korporace teď jdou Sancii po krku. A ve městě Tevanne není síla, která by je dokázala zastavit. Má-li Sancie přežít — a má-li zastavit vražednou proměnu světa, k níž se schyluje —, musí shromáždit nepravděpodobné spojence, ovládnout moc artefaktu a projít svou vlastní proměnou, která ji přetvoří v cosi, o čem se jí nikdy ani nesnilo.

Magická revoluce přetváří město a dávné zlo se probouzí. Ještě před několika lety by Sancie Gradová s radostí nechala Tevanne lehnout popelem. Nyní doufá, že své město přemění v něco lepšího. Přichází ale děsivé varování: Krasedés Magnus, první z legendárních hierofantů, se chystá vstát z mrtvých. A pokud se vrátí, Tevanne bude prvním místem na světě, jež pocítí jeho hněv. Před tisíci lety byl Krasedés prostým mužem, který dokázal nemožné: pomocí skribování — magického umění propůjčujícího neživým předmětům vědomí — přesvědčil realitu, že je něčím víc než člověkem. Celá staletí kráčel po světě jako bůh, osobně rozhodoval o vině a trestu, bořil celá impéria, očišťoval svět ohněm a mečem — a dokonce porazil i samu smrt. Ať se to Sancii líbí, nebo ne, nyní je na ní, aby ho zastavila. Má-li mít v nadcházející bitvě alespoň nějakou šanci, musí otevřít dveře skribovací technologii, která může změnit lidskou podstatu. Nehledě na to, kdo zvítězí, nic už nebude jako dřív…

Aby s ní vůbec dokázali bojovat, pomocí skribovací technologie přeměnili sebe i své spojence v armádu, jakou lidstvo ještě nevidělo. Společnými silami osvobodili hrstku vazalů nepřítele, a dokonce porazili několik jeho strašlivých strojů schopných měnit realitu.Nepřítel však pokračuje v nelítostném tažení za svým hlavním cílem: prastarými, dávno ztracenými dveřmi do jádra veškerého stvoření. Sancie a její přátelé mají poslední možnost tohoto neporazitelného protivníka zastavit. Chtějí-li získat alespoň malou šanci na vítězství, musejí přinést větší oběť než kdy dřív.

Před několika generacemi bylo město Voortyaštan baštou bohyně války a smrti, rodištěm hrůzostrašných nadpřirozených bojovníků, kteří zabíjeli a podrobili si miliony. Dnes je bohyně mrtvá a město leží v troskách. Dává dokonalý smysl, že je tam generálka Turyin Mulagheshová — prostořeká hrdinka bitvy v Bulikově, údajná válečná zločinka — vyhoštěna, aby počítala dny do důchodu a byla zapomenuta. Přinejmenším je to dokonalá krycí historka. Pravda je taková, že generálka byla naposled povolána do služby a poslána prošetřit objev, který má potenciál změnit svět — nebo ho zničit. Problém je v tom, že tahle stará vojačka si není jistá, jestli ještě má na to být hrdinkou.

Pomsta je něco, v čem Sigrud Harkvaldsson skutečně vyniká. Možná je to jediné, co mu kdy šlo. Když se tedy dozví, že byla zavražděna jeho nejvěrnější přítelkyně a spojenkyně, někdejší premiérka Shara Komaydová, je mu úplně jasné, co musí udělat. Žádná síla ze světa smrtelníků mu nemůže zabránit v tom, aby se vrahům po zásluze pomstil. Sigrud se svou obvyklou strašlivou výkonností pronásleduje kořist, začíná se ovšem obávat, že v této bitvě nedokáže zvítězit. Má-li vypátrat pravdu o Shařině smrti, musí se chopit zbraní v tajné, desítky let trvající válce, utkat se s rozhněvaným mladým bohem a odkrýt poslední tajemství Bulikova, samotného města zázraků. A co je možná ze všeho nejděsivější, konečně musí pohlédnout do tváře pravdě o své vlastní prokleté existenci.

The Mothers is a dazzling debut about young love, a big secret in a small community and the moments that haunt us most. All good secrets have a taste before you tell them, and if we'd taken a moment to swish this one around our mouths, we might have noticed the sourness of an unripe secret, plucked too soon, stolen and passed around before its season. It's the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, seventeen-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it's not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance - and the subsequent cover-up - will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully manoeuvre and dogged by the constant, nagging question: what if they had chosen differently? In entrancing, lyrical prose, THE MOTHERS asks whether a 'what if' can be more powerful than an experience itself.

The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Ten years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' story lines intersect? Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins.

HE MUST FIND THE TRUTH . . . NO MATTER THE COST.THE BRAND NEW THRILLER FROM BRITAIN'S TOP POLITICAL JOURNALIST AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WHISTLEBLOWER.______________________London, 2007. It's summer in the City: the economy is booming, profits are up and the stock market sits near record highs.But journalist Gil Peck is a lone voice worrying it can't last. Deep in the plumbing of the financial system, he has noticed strange things happening which could threaten the whole economy. But nobody wants to hear it: not the politicians taking credit for an end to boom and bust, not the bankers pocketing vast bonuses, not even Gil's bosses at the BBC, who think it's irrelevant.When Gil gets a tip-off that a small northern bank has run out of money, everything changes. His report sparks the first run on a UK bank in 140 years. The next day, Marilyn Krol, a director of the Bank of England dies in an apparent suicide.For Gil, it's personal. Marilyn was his lover: was his scoop connected to her suicide? Or is there something more sinister in her death? Gil is determined to find out.The more he investigates, the more he is drawn into the rotten heart of the financial system, where old school ties and secret Oxbridge societies lubricate vast and illegal conflicts of interest. The whole economy has been built on a house of cards, and Gil is threatening to bring it down.When simply reporting the facts can make or break fortunes, Gil has to ask himself: is he crossing the line between journalist and participant? Are his own conflicts of interest making him reckless? And in a world ruled by greed where nothing and no-one is too big to fail, what price will he pay for uncovering the truth?PRAISE FOR ROBERT PESTON'S DEBUT THRILLER, THE WHISTLEBLOWER:'Brilliant' - THE TIMES'Cracking' - DAILY MAIL'Winning' - SUNDAY TIMES'A hell of a read' - OBSERVER'Enthralling' - FINANCIAL TIMES'Enjoyable, intelligent' - GUARDIAN'A romping thriller' - INDEPENDENT'A rollicking read' - EVENING STANDARD'A gripping thriller' - DAILY EXPRESS'Fascinating' - DAILY MIRROR'Gripping' - RADIO TIMES'Compelling' - THE SUN

1919. The eyes of the world are on Paris, where statesmen, diplomats and politicians have gathered to discuss the fate of half the world's nations in the aftermath of the cataclysm that was the Great War. A horde of journalists, spies and opportunists have also gathered in the city and the last thing the British diplomatic community needs at such a time is the mysterious death of a senior member of their delegation. So, when Sir Henry Maxted falls from the roof of his mistress's apartment building in unexplained circumstances, their first instinct is to suppress all suspicious aspects of the event. But Sir Henry's son, ex Royal Flying Corps ace James 'Max' Maxted, has other ideas. He resolves to find out how and why his father died - even if this means disturbing the impression of harmonious calm which the negotiating teams have worked so hard to maintain. In a city where countries are jostling for position at the crossroads of history and the stakes could hardly be higher, it is difficult to tell who is a friend and who a foe. And Max will soon discover just how much he needs friends, as his search for the truth sucks him into the dark heart of a seemingly impenetrable mystery.

No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. Hailed as ‘the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet’ by T.S. Eliot, he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. In iconic poems like ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’, simple images summon the rural landscape of New England, and Frost unfailingly moves the reader with his profound grasp of the human condition. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative volume of Frost's verse available, comprising all eleven volumes of his poems, meticulously edited by Edward Connery Lathem. Review "The most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living" (T. S. Eliot)"Frost was the first American poet who could honestly be reckoned a master-poet by world standards" (Robert Graves)"Robert Frost has passed into the poetic pantheon" (Independent)"Of all the poetry written in our generation, Frost's is most likely to stand the test of time" (Lewis Gannett) About the Author Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874. After the death of his father he moved with his mother and sister to Massachusetts. His first collection, A Boy's Will, was published in 1913. In 1924 he won the first of four Pulitzer Prizes for his fourth book, New Hampshire. In the 1930s, as he became ever more revered, he suffered a series of family tragedies: his youngest child Marjorie died in 1934, his wife Elinor in 1938, and his son Carol in 1940. Another daughter, Irma, suffered from mental illness. Frost's last major collection, A Witness Tree (1942), contains a number of poems reflecting these disasters. In 1957 Robert Frost received honorary degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He died in January 1963.
