Co se stane, když požádáte partu ztroskotanců, aby zachránila galaxii před prastarým zlem? Prastaré zlo samozřejmě zvítězí. Počkat... ne tak rychle. Když se Jednotka 312 naposledy zapletla do mezigalaktické bitvy, všechno se strašlivě pokazilo. Ale jak se ukazuje, ne všechny konce jsou vážně konce. Je v silách týmu navazovat spojenectví, nandat to nepřátelům a tvořit historii ve velkém stylu? Jistě. Ale skutečná záchrana galaxie? Na to bude potřeba zázrak.

Om wraak te nemen op de moordenaars van haar familie laat huurmoordenaar Mia zich inlijven als slaaf en gladiator.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER From New York Times bestselling author Jay Kristoff comes Empire of the Vampire, the first illustrated volume of an astonishing new dark fantasy saga. From holy cup comes holy light; The faithful hand sets world aright. And in the Seven Martyrs’ sight, Mere man shall end this endless night. It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise. For nearly three decades, vampires have waged war against humanity; building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own. Now, only a few tiny sparks of light endure in a sea of darkness. Gabriel de León is a silversaint: a member of a holy brotherhood dedicated to defending realm and church from the creatures of the night. But even the Silver Order could not stem the tide once daylight failed us, and now, only Gabriel remains. Imprisoned by the very monsters he vowed to destroy, the last silversaint is forced to tell his story. A story of legendary battles and forbidden love, of faith lost and friendships won, of the Wars of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity’s last remaining hope: The Holy Grail.

Dal pluripremiato autore bestseller delle Cronache di Nevernight, una nuova magnifica serie. Sono passati ventisette lunghi anni dall''ultima alba.

Ormai, solo poche minuscole scintille di luce resistono in un mare di oscurità. Gabriel de León, metà uomo, metà mostro e ultimo dei Santi d''argento - confratello nonché una delle migliori spade del sacro Ordine d''argento, dedito a difendere il regno dalle creature della notte -, è tutto ciò che si frappone tra il mondo e la sua fine. Imprigionato dagli stessi mostri che ha giurato di distruggere, è costretto a raccontare la sua storia. Una storia di battaglie leggendarie e amore proibito, di fede perduta e amicizie trovate, della guerra del Re Sempiterno e della ricerca dell''ultima speranza rimasta all''umanità. Il Sacro Graal.

''This book is bloody brilliant'' V.E. Schwab ‘A ripping read’ Joe Abercrombie

Alors que la guerre civile éclate, la Guilde du lotus s''apprête à utiliser son invention la plus meurtrière, afin d''unifier l''empire sous le règne de la peur. Yukiko et Buruu se voient contraints de prendre la tête de la rébellion, faisant appel à de nouveaux alliés et de vieux amis. Mais le passé de Buruu rend la tâche difficile, et la confiance des Kagé est fragilisée par la trahison qu''ils viennent de subir. Avec l''arrivée d''un nouvel adversaire dans la bataille, la victoire est plus qu''incertaine. Or le lotus sanguin cache un ultime secret, une menace qui signera la fin de Shima... « Une aventure fantastique qui ne nous lâche pas une seconde, aussi aiguisée que le katana d''un shogun. » - The LA Times « Comment ? Un roman de steampunk japonais, des créatures mythiques, une rébellion du peuple et une héroïne forte ? Vous m''avez eu à steampunk japonais . Ça m''a suffi ! » - Patrick Rothfuss, auteur du Nom du vent

En assassinant le shogun, Yukiko a libéré les siens d''un dirigeant cruel. Alors que la menace d''une guerre civile gronde, la puissante Guilde du lotus complote afin de placer un homme de son choix à la tête de l''empire, et de nouveaux ennemis rassemblent leurs forces aux frontières du pays fragilisé. Propulsés au rang de héros par les rebelles, Yukiko et son tigre de tonnerre voient croître leur nombre d''adversaires. L''avenir d''un peuple entier tiendrait-il sur le fil d''un katana ? « Une version moderne des grands films de sabres de Kurosawa et de Kobayashi. » K.W. Jeter, auteur de Machines infernales « Une saga mêlant quêtes impossibles, trahisons, rébellion, meurtres, jalousies et secrets bien gardés. » Marissa Meyer, auteure des Chroniques lunaires

Der erste Teil einer epischen neuen Fantasy-Serie, die eine unvergessliche neue Heldin und eine verblüffend originelle dystopische Steampunk-Welt mit einem Hauch von feudalem Japan vorstellt. Auf der Jagd des Kaisers nach den legendären Donnertigern findet sich Yukiko, die Tochter eines Jägers, Auge in Auge mit einem dieser beinahe ausgestorbenen Bestien wieder. Die Gedanken des wütenden und verkrüppelten Tiers drehen sich nur um ihren Tod – Yukiko weiß das, sie kann seine Gedanken hören. Und um zu leben müssen sich die beiden wohl oder übel zusammentun.

Začněme špatnými zprávami: prastaré zlo bylo probuzeno. Dobré zprávy? Jednotka 312 je připravena všechny spasit. Snad. Jen nejdřív musí vyřešit pár drobností. Třeba klan grempů, který jim touží maličko pocuchat ksichty. Zástupy děsivých falešných agentů GIA, kteří se ze všech sil snaží zmocnit Auri. Nebo taky Kalovu naštvanou sestru, za kterou stojí syldrathská armáda. V galaxii zas bude pořádné horko – tahle skvadra v tom už ale umí chodit. Víceméně.

Het slotstuk van de Nimmernacht-trilogie van Jay Kristoff. Mia Corvere - gladiator, ontsnapte slaaf en beruchte sluipmoordenaar - is op de vlucht.

From New York Times bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes an Illuminae prequel digital novella that gives readers a hair-raising glimpse into the calamity that befell the invincible AI system known as AIDAN--and the daring young programmer who would risk her life to keep it from crashing. AIDAN is the AI you''ll love to hate. The advanced AI system was supposed to protect a fleet of survivors who''d escaped the deadly attack on Kerenza IV. AIDAN was supposed to be infallible. But in the chaotic weeks and months that followed, it became clear that something was terribly, terribly wrong with AIDAN...

From the bestselling co-author of the Illuminae Files comes the thrilling finale in the LIFEL1K3 trilogy--hailed by Marie Lu as "a breathless, action-packed exploration of what humanity really means." Best friends have become enemies. Lovers have become strangers. And deciding whose side you''re on could be the difference between life and death. For Eve and Lemon, discovering the truth about themselves--and each other--was too much for their friendship to take. But with the country on the brink of a new world war--this time between the BioMaas swarm at CityHive and Daedalus''s army at Megopolis, loyalties will be pushed to the brink, unlikely alliances will form and with them, betrayals. But the threat doesn''t stop there, because the lifelikes are determined to access the program that will set every robot free, a task requiring both Eve and Ana, the girl she was created to replace. In the end, violent clashes and heartbreaking choices reveal the true heroes . . . and they may not be who you think they are.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • Our heroes are back . . . kind of. From the bestselling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second book in the epic Aurora Cycle series about a squad of misfits, losers, and discipline cases who just might be the galaxy''s best hope for survival. First, the bad news: an ancient evil--you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal--is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They''ve just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who''d like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who''ll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there''s Kal''s long-lost sister, who''s not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it''s time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can''t learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion''s most unforgettable heroes--and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

The ferociously hot sequel to the international bestseller Aurora Rising, which sees the return of Squad 312 in an explosive battle to save the galaxy. By the award-winning authors of the Illuminae Files.
