Seanan McGuire Knihy

Když Alex Price souhlasil, že se vypraví do Ohia, aby dohlížel na chovný program bazilišků a pomohl své sestřenici-telepatce při zotavování, nečekal, že kolem toho bude tolik mrtvých. V zoo, kde Alex pracuje, se však objevují mrtvoly a jeho přítelkyně – Shelby Tannerová, australská zooložka se zálibou ve velkých kočkovitých šelmách – začíná být nedůvěřivá. A co hůř; všechna těla byla částečně proměněna v kámen… Třetí kniha série InCryptid přivede čtenáře na nová místa a seznámí ho s novým členem rodiny, přičemž se Alex snaží ustát náročnou pozici mezi běžným životem, prací a touhou nenechat se proměnit v zahradní sochu. Na scéně se objevují staří i noví přátelé a nebezpečí číhá na každém rohu.

Rodina Priceových se po celé generace věnuje zkoumání monster z celého světa a snaží se je chránit před lidmi – a lidi před nimi. Verity Priceová je od narození vedená k práci kryptozooložky, ačkoli by raději tančila tango, než se zaplétala s démony. Když ji její práce s komunitou kryptidů zavála na Manhattan, myslela si, že jí konečně nic nebude bránit v účasti na prestižních tanečních soutěžích. Jenže ono to dopadlo trochu jinak… Nyní, když Verity vyřešila problém hadího kultu, který zabíjel panny z celého Manhattanu, je připravena vrhnout se po hlavě do společenského tance. Ovšem jen do chvíle, než ji Dominic De Luca – její chvíli přítel, chvíli expřítel a také člen Úmluvy svatého Jiří, zaměřené na lov monster – informuje, že Úmluva je na cestě na Manhattan. Lidé z Úmluvy si chtějí ověřit, že je vše připraveno na čistku, jež má město zbavit kryptidů. V sázce jsou všichni a všechno, co Verity miluje, a tak rozhodně nehodlá čekat se založenýma rukama. Spojenectví projde tvrdou zkouškou, spojenci upadnou v pochybnost, přijdou ztráty na životech a mluvící myši ve Veritině bytě to všechno zvěční jako Písmo svaté – pokud ovšem zůstane kámen na kameni, až bude po všem. Je tu půlnoční výprodej a se slevou si dnes můžete zakoupit zradu, faleš… a masakr.

V New Yorku ještě nikdy nebylo takové horko… O příslušnících rodiny Priceových by se dalo říct mnohé, rozhodně ale ne to, že jsou obyčejní. Již celé generace studují monstra tohoto světa, takzvané kryptidy, a snaží se mezi nimi a nic netušící lidskou populací zachovávat mír a rovnováhu. Verity Priceová ví, jakou zodpovědnost s sebou rodinné řemeslo nese, přesto by se však místo nahánění strašidel, ghúlů a démonů věnovala raději tancování. Proto se také přestěhovala do New Yorku, aby si mohla splnit sen a dosáhnout kariéry v profesionálním tanci dřív, než se bude muset nadobro ponořit do profese kryptozooložky a samozvané ochránkyně kryptidů. Možná by se jí to i podařilo, kdyby se zároveň nemusela potýkat s kolonií mluvících myší, geniální telepatickou sestřenkou, ohnivzdornými modelkami a profesionálním zabijákem, kterého do New Yorku vyslala Úmluva svatého Jiří, organizace, která její rodinu pronásleduje desítky let. A aby toho nebylo málo, místní kryptidi se začnou podezřele ztrácet, v kanálech se prohánějí zmutovaní lidoještěři a kolují zvěsti o tom, že v podzemí spí drak. Na tohle léto Verity nejspíš nikdy nezapomene…

Děti za správných podmínek vždycky mizely: proklouzly stínem pod postelí nebo šatníkem, propadly se králičí norou a vynořily se… jinde. Ale kouzelné světy nemají pro ty, co se už nehodí, pochopení. Nancy se kdysi zatoulala, ale teď už je zpátky. A neustále hledá způsob, jak se vrátit zpátky do svého světa. Její příjezd do Domova slečny Westové znamená změnu: za rohem číhá temnota a jen ona a její spolužáci mohou zjistit, co se vlastně děje. Bez ohledu na cenu, jakou budou muset zaplatit.

Now in mass market, the thirteenth novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times-bestselling Toby Daye urban fantasy series! Hundreds of years ago, the Selkies made a deal with the sea witch: they would have the sea for as long as she allowed it, and when the time came, she would call in all their debts at once. Many people assumed that day would never come. Those people were wrong. When the Luidaeg--October "Toby" Daye's oldest and most dangerous ally--tells her the time has come for the Selkies to fulfill their side of the bargain, and that Toby must be a part of the process, Toby can't refuse. Literally. The Selkies aren't the only ones in debt to the Luidaeg, and Toby has to pay what she owes like anyone else. They will travel to the fabled Duchy of Ships and call a convocation of the Selkies, telling them to come and meet the Luidaeg's price...or face the consequences. Of course, nothing is that simple. When Dianda Lorden's brother appears to arrest Dianda for treason against the Undersea, when a Selkie woman is stripped of her skin and then murdered, when everything is falling apart, that's when Toby will have to answer the real question of the hour. Is she going to sink? Or is she going to swim?

Nadya never considered herself less than whole, not until her adoptive parents fitted her with a prosthetic arm against her will, seeking to replace the one she'd been missing from birth. It was cumbersome; it was uncomfortable; it was wrong. It wasn't her. Frustrated and unable to express why, Nadya began to wander, until the day she fell through a door into Belyyreka, the Land Beneath the Lake--and found herself in a world of water, filled with child-eating amphibians, majestic giant turtles, and impossible ships that sailed as happily beneath the surface as on top. In Belyyreka, she found herself understood for who she was: a Drowned Girl, who had made her way to her real home, accepted by the river and its people. But even in Belyyreka, there are dangers, and trials, and Nadya would soon find herself fighting to keep hold of everything she had come to treasure.

When Jack left Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children, she was carrying the body of her deliciously deranged sister -- whom she had recently murdered in a fit of righteous justice -- back to their home on the Moors.

The 17th novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times bestselling October Daye urban fantasy series. October is very happy with her life as the second daughter of her pureblood parents, Amandine and Simon Torquill. Born to be the changeling handmaid to her beloved sister August, she spends her days working in her family’s tower, serving as August’s companion, and waiting for the day when her sister sets up a household of her own. Everything is right in October’s Faerie. Everything is perfect. Everything is a lie. October has been pulled from her own reality and thrown into a twisted reinterpretation of Faerie where nothing is as it should be and everything has been distorted to support Titania’s ideals. Bound by the Summer Queen’s magic and thrust into a world turned upside down, October has no way of knowing who she can trust, where she can turn, or even who she really is. As strangers who claim to know her begin to appear and the edges of Titania’s paradise begin to unravel, Toby will have to decide whether she can risk everything she knows based on only their stories of another world. But first she’ll have to survive this one, as Titania demonstrates why she needed to be banished in the first place—and this time, much more than Toby’s own life is at stake.

"Nature abhors a straight line. The natural world is a place of curves and softened edges, of gentle mists and welcoming spirals. Nature remembers deviation; nature does not forgive ... For Harlowe Upton-Jones, life has never been a straight line. Shipped off to live with her paternal grandparents after a mysterious cult killed her mother and father, she has grown up chasing the question behind the curve, becoming part of a tight-knit teen detective agency. But "teen" is a limited time offer, and when her friends start looking for adult professions, it's up to Harlowe to find them one last case so that they can go out in a blaze of glory. Welcome to Spindrift House. The stories and legends surrounding the decrepit property are countless and contradictory, but one thing is clear: there are people willing to pay a great deal to determine the legal ownership of the house. When Harlowe and her friends agree to investigate the mystery behind the manor, they do so on the assumption that they'll be going down in history as the ones who determined who built Spindrift House - and why. The house has secrets. They have the skills. They have a plan. They have everything they need to solve the mystery. Everything they need except for time. Because Spindrift House keeps its secrets for a reason, and it has no intention of letting them go. Nature abhors a straight line. Here's where the story bends."--Publisher description

A decade in the future, humanity thrives in the absence of sickness and disease. We owe our good health to a humble parasite - a genetically engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen Corporation. When implanted, the tapeworm protects us from illness, boosts our immune system - even secretes designer drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams. Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm living within them. But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives - and will do anything to get them.

Unter den Feen von San Francisco ist er ein vertrauter Schrecken: der Blinde Michael, der mit seiner Schar in Vollmondnächten über die Hügel von Berkley fegt und Kinder raubt. Bisher hatte sich October Daye keine Gedanken darum gemacht, hat sie doch ganz alltägliche Sorgen, die sie beschäftigen. Aber als die Kinder ihrer Freundin Stacy plötzlich verschwinden, muss sich Toby mit dem Nachtmahr von Faerie auseinandersetzen.

Von Geburt an ist die junge October Daye eine Außenseiterin. Als Mischling hat sie weder in der Welt der Fae noch in der Welt der Menschen eine Heimat. Doch da erhält sie den Auftrag, für die Sicherheit der Gräfin January O’Leary zu sorgen. Wieder einmal muss Toby ins Land der Fae zurückkehren. Was ihr jedoch zunächst wie ein einfacher Auftrag erscheint, wird schon bald ein gefährliches Unterfangen. In Januarys Umkreis wurden einige Fae ermordet, und die Gräfin könnte das nächste Opfer sein.

Die Welt der Feen und Elfen ist nie gänzlich verschwunden, sondern besteht im Geheimen neben der Wirklichkeit fort. October „Toby“ Daye ist ein Kind beider Welten, halb Mensch, halb Fae. Einst verlor sie alles, was ihr lieb war; und seitdem meidet sie Menschen und Fae gleichermaßen. Da wird in San Francisco eine Fürstin der Fae, ermordet, und Tobys Leben gerät erneut aus den Fugen. Durch einen mächtigen Fluch, den die Fürstin mit ihrem letzen Atem ausstößt, ist Toby verpflichtet, ihren Tod aufzuklären. Um dem Fluch zu entkommen, muss Toby in die Welt der Fae zurückkehren. Bald stellt sie fest, dass mehr als nur ihr Leben auf dem Spiel steht. Ein packender Feenkrimi und zugleich der erste Roman in einer spannungsgeladenen Urban-Fantasy-Serie, die keltische Motive in eine moderne Welt überführt. „Hervorragend recherchiert, packend erzählt, äußerst atmosphärisch und kompromisslos wie ein guter Krimi. Der viel versprechende Auftakt einer neuen Urban-Fantasy-Serie, die Fans von Jim Butcher und Kim Harrison gleichermaßen anspricht.“ Publishers Weekly
