      If you think your family relationships are complicated, think again: you haven't seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being, who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton. In addition to the multitude of family issues complicating her life, the werewolf pack of Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special favour, and since Sookie is an obliging young woman, she agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire results for Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her abduction during the Fairy War.

      Život v ospalom južanskom mestečku Bon Temps narušia dve udalosti – záhadná vražda mladej ženy a príchod upírov, ktorí sa tomuto miestu dosiaľ vyhýbali. Mladá čašníčka Sookie Stackhousová si nemohla vybrať lepší čas, kedy si s jedným z nich začať! Po prvej vražde však nasleduje druhá a tretia. Vrah si očividne vyberá obete podľa rovnakého kľúča. Sú to mladé dievčatá, ktoré pracujú ako čašníčky alebo predavačky a občas si rady zašantia s upírmi. Opis sa dokonale hodí aj na Sookie... V kolotoči ľúbostných dobrodružstiev, bojujúcich upírov a rastúceho napätia Sookie okrem mocného priateľa pomáha aj jej nevšedná schopnosť čítať ľudské myšlienky. O upíroch sa dozvie veľa: či im naozaj chutí cesnak, ako často sa holia, ako milujú, ale niektoré tajomstvá sa rozplietajú veľmi pomaly...

      Nad Sookie Stackhousovou sa opäť sťahujú mračná. Odkedy chodí s upírom, jej nudný život obyčajnej južanskej servírky sa prevrátil naruby. Keď sa upíri dozvedeli o jej telepatických schopnostiach, výmenou za slobodu ju prinútili vstúpiť do ich služieb. Teraz ju posielajú do Dallasu riešiť záhadu strateného upíra. Pritom len nedávno práve ona našla zavraždeného homosexuálneho kolegu, prežila v lese útok akejsi šialenej bytosti a dopočula sa, že v Bon Temps existuje pochybný sexklub. Čo má proti upírom istá náboženská sekta? Má ten klub niečo spoločné so smrťou Sookinho kolegu? Aby sa to Sookie dozvedela, bude sa zrejme musieť vybrať na miesta, kam by inak nikdy nevkročila. V druhej časti svetového bestselleru spisovateľky Charlaine Harrisovej sa Sookie stretne s ďalšími nadprirodzenými bytosťami, niekoľkokrát sa ocitne len krôčik od smrti a dozvie sa ďalšie podrobnosti zo života upírov. Pretože žiť s upírom zahŕňa okrem špičkového sexu aj isté nepríjemnosti...

      Elbryan and Pony--soul mates from childhood who grew even closer over time--fervently hope that the tide of darkness is at last receding from the land of Corona. Yet if evil is on the retreat, why are hordes of goblins and bloody-capped powries slashing their way ever-deeper into civilized lands? A sinister threat now looms over Corona, for the power of the demon dactyl was not entirely vanquished by the sacrifice of the monk Avelyn Desbris. Instead, its darkness has infiltrated the most sacred of places--as a once-admired spiritual leader rededicates his life to the most vicious, most insidious revenge against the forces of good. There may be no stopping the spread of the malignant evil . . .

    • When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be… Luck in the Shadows.

      Tutti e tre i suoi figli sono ormai adulti, ma fra loro e il padre non regna certo la più perfetta armonia!Anzi Phastis, il primogenito - sulla cui autentica paternità esistono ancora dei dubbi, sicché si mormora che possa in realtà discendere dal seme di Anthimios - sembra essersi lasciato affascinare da un'iquietante eresia che va sempre più diffondendosi nel territorio dell'Impero: quella dei Thanasioi.Trascinati dal fanatismo del loro sinistro capo, Livanios, i seguaci della setta predicano che ogni ricchezza e ogni materialità, compreso il corpo umano, altro non sono che creazioni diaboliche di Skotos, il dio del Male e che pertanto ogni manifestazione di dovizia e ogni potere vanno combattuti...
