The lost book of the white - cassandra clare, wesley chu

Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood are settling into domestic life with their son Max when the warlocks Ragnor Fell and Shinyun Jung break into their loft and steal a powerful spell book. Realizing that Ragnor and Shinyun are being controlled by a more sinister force, Magnus and Alec set out to stop them and recover the book before they can cause any more harm. With the help of Clary Fairchild, Jace Herondale, Isabelle Lightwood, and Simon Lovelace (who is fresh from the Shadowhunter Academy), they track the warlocks to Shanghai. But nothing is as it seems. Ragnor and Shinyun are working at the behest of a Greater Demon. Their goal is to open a Portal from the demon realms to Earth, flooding the city of Shanghai with dangerous demons. When a violent encounter causes Magnus's magic to grow increasingly unstable, Alec and Magnus rally their friends to strike at the heart of the demon's power. But what they find there is far stranger and more nefarious than they ever could have expected... Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Holly Black and Sarah J. Maas. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

66 million years ago the dinosaurs were wiped from the face of the earth. Today, Dr. Steve Brusatte, one of the leading scientists of a new generation of dinosaur hunters, armed with cutting edge technology, is piecing together the complete story of how the dinosaurs ruled the earth for 150 million years. The world of the dinosaurs has fascinated on book and screen for decades – from early science fiction classics like The Lost World, to Godzilla terrorizing the streets of Tokyo, and the monsters of Jurassic Park. But what if we got it wrong? In The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, top dinosaur expert Brusatte, tells the real story of how dinosaurs rose to dominate the planet. Using the fossil clues that have been gathered using state of the art technology, Brusatte follows these magnificent creatures from their beginnings in the Early Triassic period, through the Jurassic period to their final days in the Cretaceous and the legacy that they left behind. Along the way, Brusatte introduces us to modern day dinosaur hunters and gives an insight into what it’s like to be a paleontologist. The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs is full of thrilling accounts of some of his personal discoveries, including primitive human-sized tyrannosaurs, monstrous carnivores even larger than T. rex, and feathered raptor dinosaurs preserved in lava from China. At a time when Homo sapiens has existed for less than 200,000 years and we are already talking about planetary extinction, The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs is a timely reminder of what humans can learn from the magnificent creatures who ruled the earth before us.

Peter Katz is hell-bent on getting to the bottom of what happened that night twenty-five years ago and is convinced the full manuscript will reveal who committed the violent crime. But other people's recollections are dangerous weapons to play with, and this might be one memory that is best kept buried. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Los Angeles, 2012. Je tomu již pět let, co dvanáctiletá lovkyně stínů Emma Carstairsová přišla za Temné války o oba rodiče. Dnes už Emma dávno není dítě, ale mladá žena odhodlaná k pátrání a pomstě. Spolu se svým parabátai Juliánem Blackthornem musí překazit nekalé spiknutí a rozbít síť temné mafie, jejíž dlouhé prsty sahají od Sunset Stripu až k magickým hlubinám oceánu a plážím v Santa Monice. Aby to dokázala, musí se však naučit důvěřovat svému srdci, které ji, zdá se, svádí na scestí… Románem Paní půlnoci otevírá Cassandra Clare další strhující a vášnivou trilogii ze světa Lovců stínů. Cassandra Clare je autorkou úspěšných fantasy ság (Nástroje smrti, Pekelné stroje a další), které si podmanily statisíce čtenářů. Narodila se americkým rodičům v Teheránu a dětství strávila na cestách, s kufry plnými klasických fantasy knížek. Několik let pak pracovala jako novinářka v časopisech o celebritách, než se pustila do psaní románů, a již první sérií ze světa lovců stínů si získala přízeň čtenářů. Její temně romantické i napínavé příběhy se od té doby staly kultem. "Nástroje smrti jsou světem, ve kterém ráda žiju," napsala o jejích knihách autorka Stmívání Stephenie Mayerová. Do tohoto světa zasazuje Cassandra Clare i svou nejnovější, nedočkavě očekávanou sérii Temné lsti. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
