She has the city brought to its knees, a single death stroke away from victory, but in the same breath, she struggles with her own wavering loyalty.

The city must be taken, and her treasonous thoughts must be handled soon, or else.

THREE WOMEN. THREE TRIALS. Despite ascending to the throne of the kingdom of Kei, Youko Nakajima's troubles are still not at an end. As queen, she relies on her many advisors to make up for her lack of experience, but when all they do is squabble with each other, the only thing left to do is descend the mountain and come face-to-face with her subjects themselves. Meanwhile, the king of Hou has been killed by insurgents, and his daughter, Shoukei, is forced to live as a peasant to survive. At the same time, Suzu, a girl from Japan, suddenly finds herself whisked away to the kingdom of Sai.

Jeden z nejúspěšnějších románů od průkopníků fantastické literatury Julese Verna. Legendární kniha sleduje osudy tří statečných mužů, které kapitán Nemo zachránil před smrtí a potom uvěznil ve své podmořské lodi Nautilus. Nemo na své lodi vybudoval dokonalou výzkumnou laboratoř a zároveň děsivý nástroj pomsty. Napínavý příběh doprovází líčení tajemných mořských hlubin, zprávy o rozvoji techniky a varování před nebezpečím zneužití výsledků vědeckého pokroku. Autorova bohatá fantazie se drží v mezích technické pravděpodobnosti a proto román působí i dnes velmi přesvědčivě.

As corporations close ranks and the city’s algorithms tighten their grip, Corbin must decide how much truth can survive in a world designed to erase it.

Miuko se dio cuenta de que algo había cambiado en cuanto la shaoha la besó. Lo había sentido muy dentro de ella: la sensación de una semilla abriéndose, un zarcillo frío arrastrándose hacia fuera. Durante cuatro días, se había permitido creer que sólo su aspecto exterior se había visto afectado, pero ya no podía ignorarlo. La maldición no sólo había cambiado su piel. Temió que también estuviera cambiando su corazón.

Anna Walker’s hunt for the Grail Cup—the relic of eternal life—puts her directly in Lucifer’s sights. To force her hand, he threatens the one person she cannot lose: her mother. As Anna races to claim the relic, vampiric zealots rise to steal it, and every path is fraught with betrayal. Through it all, Kincade remains her anchor, fighting at her side and determined to keep her from the dark lord’s grasp. But when an unlikely ally with divine power joins their fight, even his strength may not be enough to protect her.

The race is on to find the Spear of Destiny before Lucifer’s forces can claim it—and plunge the world into darkness. For Anna Walker, the mission becomes personal when her greatest enemy, Azriel, kidnaps her closest ally, demanding the spear in exchange for Kincade’s soul. As Anna battles time and temptation, a new threat emerges: the Knights of the Holy Lance, a faction with an army of engineered dream walkers and a twisted plan for the relic.
