Alex Aster Knihy

Podmanivý, kvetmi a tieňmi nabitý druhý diel série Lightlark od Alex Aster, ktorý okamžite vystrelil na vrchol rebríčka New York Times a Wall Street Journal. Isla Crownová si získala srdcia dvoch najmocnejších vládcov a zlomila kliatby, ktoré dlhých päť storočí sužovali šesť ríš. Pôvod jej vlastnej moci však pozná málokto. Po zdrvujúcej zrade Isla prahne po pokoji, preto sa ukrýva vo svojej izbe v paláci namiesto toho, aby sa chopila svojich povinností vládkyne dvoch ríš a pomohla im získať späť to, čo kliatbami stratili – skutočný domov so všetkým, čo k tomu patrí. Čo je však ešte horšie, napriek svojim schopnostiam z troch ríš stále nie je v bezpečí. Nebezpečenstvo na ňu číha na každom ostrove a dokonca aj medzi múrmi jej vlastnej izby ju môžu mátať tiene. Keď sa na Lightlark odrazu rúti neodvratná smrť a na povrch sa predierajú tajomstvá minulosti, Isla musí postaviť na misky váh zodpovednosť za svoj ľud a rozmary toho najnebezpečnejšieho zradcu – svojho srdca. Prepracovaný svet Alex Aster sa po strhujúcom vyvrcholení Storočnice ešte viac rozrastá, odhaľuje Isline spomienky na minulosť a rozhodovanie o budúcnosti medzi dvoma rôznymi osudmi.

#BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers readers a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons--a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has something to hide. Each realm's curse is uniquely wicked. To destroy the curses, one ruler must die. Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling--a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial. To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray...even as love complicates everything. Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, Lightlark is a must-read for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

Twenty-seven-year-old Elle, facing writer's block, returns to the city she vowed to leave behind for a chance to write a big-budget movie.
