Holly Black Knihy

Trilógia zo sveta krutých a nelítostných víl! Jude mala sedem rokov, keď jej zabili rodičov a uniesli ju spolu so sestrami na proradný dvor víl. Od tej doby netúži po ničom inom, len zapadnúť, nájsť si medzi vílami svoje miesto a získať aspoň kúsok moci a rešpektu. Ako smrteľnica sa však musí oháňať dvakrát toľko, aby medzi nesmrteľnými bytosťami obstála. Jude sa však nezalekne ničoho. Ani dvorských intríg, ani krutého princa Cardana, ani svojho nevlastného otca. Podarí sa jej splniť si to, čo si vytyčila?

Dlhoočakávané strhujúce vyvrcholenie Férskej ságy! Moc sa dá získať veľmi jednoducho, zložitejšie je udržať si ju. Jude to zažila na vlastnej koži, keď sa výmenou za neobmedzené vládnutie vzdala kontroly nad skazeným kráľom Cardanom. Ako férska kráľovná vo vyhnanstve je Jude úplne bezmocná. Cardanova zrada ju vnútorne zožiera a čaká na vhodnú príležitosť, aby mohla získať späť všetko, o čo ju pripravil. Tá sa jej naskytne vo chvíli, keď sa jej dvojička, Taryn, ocitne v ohrození života. Jude si trúfne vrátiť sa na zradný férsky dvor, postaviť sa zoči-voči neutíchajúcim citom ku Cardanovi, a to všetko preto, aby zachránila svoju sestru. Elfhame sa však medzičasom zmenil na nepoznanie. Schyľuje sa k vojne, a čím je Jude bližšie k nepriateľským líniám, tým väčšmi je zapletená do krvavej vojnovej politiky. Keď však začne účinkovať dávna kliatba, krajinu premkne panika a Jude si musí vybrať medzi vlastnými ambíciami a ľudskosťou…

Jude si rafinovanou dohodou k sebe pripútala krutého Cardana, a tak sa stala bábkarkou ťahajúcou za nitky, tajnou vládkyňou skazeného kráľa. Mánevrovať v sieti neustále sa meniacich politických hier by však bolo náročné, aj keby sa dal Cardan jednoducho ovládať. On však robí všetko preto, aby ju ponížil a podryl jej autoritu, hoci je ňou nevysvetliteľne fascinovaný. Navyše, všetko nasvedčuje tomu, že pre Jude predstavuje niekto z jej blízkych hrozbu. Aby si Jude udržala moc, musí čo najskôr odhaliť zradcu - popri boji s vlastnými komplikovanými citmi voči Cardanovi. V pokračovaní bestselleru Krutý princ rozohráva jedna z najúspešnejších autoriek fantasy Holly Black nebezpečnú hru spletitých intríg a potlačovanej túžby.

Call, Tamara a Aaron by sa mali sústrediť na náročné testy a čarodejnícke skúšky. No po náhlej smrti jedného spolužiaka sa musia vydať po stope hrozivého zla. Niekto totiž oslobodil beštiu, čo mala ostať spútaná hlboko v školských žalároch. Call a jeho kamoši zisťujú, že mágia dokáže byť taká dobrá ako čarodejníci, ktorí ju používajú. No ak ju včas nezastavia, napácha v nesprávnych rukách nepredstaviteľné škody. Na čarodejníckej škole sa totiž môže prihodiť čokoľvek dobré i zlé a jediný spôsob, ako odhaliť pravdu, je riskovať úplne všetko.

Callum Hunt prežíva letné prázdniny inak ako ostatné deti. Jeho najbližším spoločníkom je vlk posadnutý chaosom a otec ho podozrieva, že v synovi drieme zlo. Okrem toho väčšina detí sa na jeseň nevracia do magického sveta magistéria, podzemnej čarodejníckej školy, a tak sa cíti osamelý. Callumov už i tak neľahký život sa ešte väčšmi skomplikuje, keď nazrie do pivnice a zistí, že vlastný otec ho chce zničiť a rovnako aj jeho vlka. Chlapec ujde do magistéria, lenže ani tu sa pohromy nekončia. Niekto ukradol alkahest, medenú rukavicu schopnú pripraviť niektorých mágov o čarodejnícke schopnosti. Pri hľadaní vinníka Call a jeho priatelia Aaron a Tamara upútajú pozornosť nebezpečných protivníkov a priblížia sa k ešte nebezpečnejšej pravde. Tajomstvá magistéria sa prehlbujú. Neuveriteľná púť chlapca, od ktorého môže závisieť osud sveta, pokračuje. Medená rukavica je druhá kniha z celosvetovo úspešnej série Magistérium.

Callum Hunt skončil vo väzení. Z 15-ročného študenta magistéria, školy pre čarodejníkov, sa stal najobávanejší mág, vtelenie Nepriateľa smrti. Callum, do ktorého vložil dušu sám zlovestný Constantine Madden, je presvedčený, že mu na celom svete neostal nik. Nie po smrti najlepšieho priateľa Aarona. Keď sa Callovi naskytne príležitosť z magického väzenia ujsť, musí nadviazať nepravdepodobné spojenectvo a pokúsiť sa o nemožné: naučiť sa privádzať mŕtvych späť medzi živých. Vo svete čarodejníkov sa schyľuje k ďalšej strašnej vojne a osud všetkých, na ktorých Callumovi záleží, je opäť v jeho rukách. Call sa bude musieť rozhodnúť, ako využije svoju moc – pokušenie oživiť blízkych, za ktorými žialime, je totiž priveľké... najmä ak už nemáme čo stratiť. V štvrtej časti Magistéria od Holly Black a Cassandry Clare, autoriek megaúspešných fantasy sérií, sa čitatelia vydajú spolu s hrdinami na desivú cestu za hranicu života a smrti.

Holly Black, jedna z najúspešnejších autoriek detskej a YA literatúry súčasnosti, odštartovala v novej trilógii príbeh o manipulácii, kráse i krutosti sveta mágie a nevyspytateľných vášňach. Jude mala len sedem rokov, keď jej rodičov brutálne zavraždili a spolu s jej dvomi sestrami ju uniesli zo sveta smrteľníkov, aby žili na Najvyššom dvore vo férskej ríši obývanej prastarými, často zákernými magickými bytosťami. O desať rokov neskôr si Jude neželá nič iné než medzi nich zapadnúť. Väčšina férov však smrteľníkmi opovrhuje. Najmä princ Cardan, najmladší a najskazenejší syn Najvyššieho kráľa. Jude sa čoraz viac zapletá do dvorných intríg a klamstiev a zisťuje, že aj ona dokáže podvádzať a prelievať krv. Ale v najvyšších kruhoch dochádza k zrade a hrozí, že Kráľovský dvor pohltí násilie. Jude preto bude riskovať vlastný život v nebezpečnom spojenectve, aby zachránila svoje sestry a samotnú ríšu.

Posledný diel neobyčajnej série z pera bestsellerových autoriek Holly Black a Casandry Clare! Pred rokmi sa Constantinovi Maddenovi takmer podarilo získať moc, akú nemal žiadny mág pred ním – schopnosť oživiť mŕtvych. Avšak neuspel... No objavil spôsob, ako prežiť. V chlapcovi menom Callum Hunt. Callum sa počas štyroch rokov štúdia na magistériu snažil vyrovnať s tým, kým je, a zároveň bojovať so zlom. Až kým sa mu nepodarilo poraziť sily chaosu v epickom súboji. Ale všetko má svoju cenu. Callum zvíťazil, no už má toho dosť, je pripravený dokončiť štúdium. Zlo, ktorému už toľkokrát čelil, sa však nemieni vzdať.

Od Bitky hada uplynulo osem rokov. Lady Nore z Dvora zubov sa opäť usadila na neprístupnom severe, kde vdychuje život príšerám z konárov a snehu, verným služobníkom, ktorí sú pripravení svoju paniu pomstiť. Jediná, kto má nad krutou lady moc, je jej dcéra, mladučká kráľovná Dvora zubov. Suren však utiekla do sveta smrteľníkov a zvolila si divoký život v lesoch, presvedčená, že sa na ňu zabudlo. Všetko sa zmení, keď ju nočnými ulicami začne prenasledovať Bogdana, bosorka búrok, a Suren sa dočká nečakanej záchrany – z rúk princa Oaka, dediča Elfhamu. Už roky voči nemu prechováva nevraživosť, hoci mala byť jeho nevestou. Šarmantného Oaka, zvyknutého omotať si všetkých okolo prsta, vedie výprava na sever a prišiel poprosiťSuren o pomoc. Jej súhlas by však znamenal, že mladá kráľovná bude musieť čeliť všemožným nástrahám – a hlavne chlapcovi, ktorého poznala ako dieťa, princovi, ktorému sa nedá veriť. A hrôzam, ktoré mali ostať pochované hlboko v minulosti.

There, amid the blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms--a struggle that could very well mean her death. In Valiant, the companion to Tithe, seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York City, trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the city's labyrinthine subway system. But there's something eerily beguiling about Val's new friends. When one talks Val into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature, Val finds herself torn between her affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming. In Ironside, the sequel to Tithe, the time has come for Roiben's coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing--her love for Roiben. But when Kaye drunkenly declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest to find a faerie who can tell a lie. Unable to see Roiben until she has fulfilled his quest, Kaye finds herself in the center of the battle of wits and weapons being waged over his throne.
