Emily Lloyd-Jones Knihy

Ne všechny mrtvoly zůstanou pohřbeny navěky. Sedmnáctiletá Ryn se od smrti svých rodičů živí jako hrobnice v odlehlé vesnici na úpatí drsného a smrtelně nebezpečného pohoří, které kdysi bývalo domovem fae. Pohřbů není v posledních měsících tolik a Ryn se svými sourozenci začíná strádat. Navíc její pověst jediného hrobníka široko daleko utrpí šrámy, když vyjde najevo, že ne všichni mrtví zůstali mrtvými nadobro. Vzkříšeným mrtvolám se říká kostischrány a legenda praví, že jsou důsledkem desítky let staré kletby. Ellis, tvůrce map s tajemnou minulostí, dorazí do vesnice právě ve chvíli, kdy kostischrány zaútočí s novou zuřivostí. Co je přitahuje? A jak je lze nadobro zastavit? Ellis a Ryn se společně vydávají na výpravu, která je zavede do nevyzpytatelných lesů a do samého srdce hor, kde budou muset čelit dávno zapomenuté magii i hluboko pohřbené pravdě o sobě samých.

Jakmile Mer zjistila, k čemu ji panovník zneužil, utekla. Jenže teď se musí doživotně ohlížet přes rameno a žít ve strachu, že ji jeho vojáci vypátrají. Jednoho dne se vrátí Meřin starý učitel s návrhem využít jejích schopností k tomu, aby spolu s ním proradného kralevice svrhla z trůnu. Za pomoci podivné družiny spojenců, mezi nimiž nechybí mladík, kterého proklel jinolid, dědička cechu zlodějů a roztomilý corgi, se Mer vydá na nebezpečnou výpravu, aby znovu získala vzácnou svobodu. Ostatně člověk s pádným motivem může svrhnout celé království. Nebo ne?

An intoxicating blend of fantasy, horror, and romance--a Faustian fable perfect for fans of Holly Black, and Stranger Things. Dee Moreno is out of options. Her home life sucks (to put it mildly), and she's about to get booted from her boarding school--the only place she's ever felt free--for lack of funds. But this is a world where demons exist, and the demons are there to make deals: one human body part in exchange for one wish come true. The demon who Dee approaches doesn't trade in the usual arms and legs, however. He's only interested in her heart. And what comes after Dee makes her deal is a nightmare far bigger, far more monstrous than anything she ever could have imagined. Reality is turned on its head, and Dee has only her fellow "heartless," the charming but secretive James Lancer, to keep her grounded. As something like love grows between them amid an otherworldly threat, Dee begins to wonder: Can she give James her heart when it's no longer hers to give? In The Hearts We Sold, demons can be outwitted, hearts can be reclaimed, monsters can be fought, and love isn't impossible. This book will steal your heart and break it, and leave you begging for more.

The X-Men meets Ocean's Eleven in this edge-of-your-seat sci-fi adventure about a band of "super" criminals. When the deadly MK virus swept across the planet, a vaccine was created to stop the epidemic, but it came with some unexpected side effects. A small percentage of the population developed superhero-like powers, and Americans suffering from these so-called adverse effects were given an ultimatum: Serve the country or be declared a traitor. Some people chose a third option: live a life of crime. Seventeen-year-old Ciere Giba has the handy ability to change her appearance at will. She's what's known as an illusionist. She's also a thief. After crossing a gang of mobsters, Ciere must team up with a group of fellow super powered criminals on a job that most would have considered impossible: a hunt for the formula that gave them their abilities. It was supposedly destroyed years ago--but what if it wasn't? Government agents are hot on their trail, and the lines between good and bad, us and them, and freedom and entrapment are blurred as Ciere and the rest of her crew become embroiled in a deadly race that could cost them their lives.
