Alicia Berensonová má napohľad dokonalý život. Je známa maliarka, vydatá za vychyteného módneho fotografa, ktorého nadovšetko miluje, a býva v nádhernom dome obklopenom zeleňou v luxusnej štvrti Londýna. A predsa jedného večera z neznámych príčin svojho muža chladnokrvne zavraždí. Do hlavy mu vypáli päť rán a odvtedy neprehovorí. Aliciino mlčanie premení obyčajnú rodinnú tragédiu na verejnú záhadu, ktorá Aliciu neslávne preslávi. Cena jej umeleckých diel prudko vzrastie, zatiaľ čo ona sama postupne upadá do zabudnutia za múrmi psychiatrického ústavu. Psychoterapeuta Thea Fabera Aliciin osud od začiatku fascinuje a keď dostane príležitosť s ňou pracovať, urobí všetko pre to, aby prehovorila. Terapia pomaly napreduje a vzťah medzi ním a pacientkou je čoraz dôvernejší. Hľadanie pravdy však na povrch vyplaví skutočnosti, ktoré môžu celkom rozvrátiť aj Faberov vlastný život... Psychologický triler s detektívnymi črtami Agathy Christie, nádychom gréckej tragédie a hitchcockovsky pomaly gradujúcim napätím, ktoré vyústi do nepredvídateľného šokujúceho finále. Ambiciózny debut, ktorý žne úspechy po celom svete a chystá sa preniknúť aj na filmové plátna.

Zélie si pamätá, že kedysi bola celá krajina Orïsha plná mágie. Ohnivci zapaľovali plamene, Vlnopáni rozkazovali vlnám a Zéliina mama Smrtonoska vzývala duše mŕtvych. No potom mágia kamsi zmizla a všetko sa zmenilo. Všetkých Madžiov na príkaz krutého kráľa vyvraždili, Zélie obrali o mamu a jej ľud o nádej. Teraz však má Zélie jedinečnú šancu zaútočiť na kráľovskú rodinu a vrátiť krajine mágiu. Musí zabrániť korunnému princovi, aby definitívne zničil mágiu, a s pomocou princeznej mu prejsť cez rozum. Na každom kroku na ne číha nebezpečenstvo, z krovín vrčia snežné lepardnéry a vo vodách vyčkávajú pomstychtiví duchovia. Najväčšou hrozbou pre krajinu sa však môže stať práve Zélie – ak sa nenaučí kontrolovať svoju moc. Tomi Adeyemi nadväzuje na tradíciu veľkých fantasy románov. Navyše prišla s neošúchaným námetom čerpajúcim z africkej mytológie a mágie. Autorkin štýl je plný farbistej fantázie, napínavú tajomnú atmosféru spestrujú prvky africkej kultúry a opisy rôznych druhov mágie. Preto sa nemožno čudovať, že filmoví producenti ihneď prejavili záujem a odkúpili práva na sfilmovanie príbehu.

An exhilarating new adventure in the bestselling Oregon Files series. For six novels, Clive Cussler has brought readers into the world of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated ship on the outside, but on the inside packed with sophisticated equipment, and captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. But the Oregon's seventh adventure is its most remarkable yet. On 7 December 1941, four brothers exploring a shaft on a small island off the coast of Washington state make an extraordinary discovery, only to be interrupted by news of Pearl Harbour. In the present, Cabrillo, chasing the remnants of a crashed satellite in the Argentine jungle, makes a shocking discovery of his own. His search to untangle the mystery leads him, first, to that small island and its secret, and then much farther back, to an ancient Chinese expedition, and a curse that seems to have survived for over five hundred years. If Cabrillo's team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not . . . the only reward is death. Praise for Clive Cussler: 'Clive Cussler is hard to beat.'
