    • Ezra Faulkner, tenisová hvězda a všeobecný školní mazánek, je přesvědčený, že na každého v životě čeká nějaký průšvih. Je jedno, jak obyčejně člověk žije, někde za rohem na něj číhá menší nebo větší tragédie, která mu obrátí svět naruby a kterou teprve všechno začíná. V Ezrově případě je tou tragédií bouračka, která mu sice vzala veškeré vyhlídky na kariéru v tenise, ale zato mu otevřela úplně nové dveře a Ezra se nestačí divit, co všechno ho může potkat na debatních turnajích nebo jak je svět malý a jak krutě někdy osud zaplétá lidské příběhy. Palčivě vtipná kniha o tom, že ze samého středu na úplný kraj je to někdy jen krůček, a naopak. A přesto se zpátky nechce…

    • Welcome back to the great kingdom of Camelot! Scandal, betrayal, and courtly crushes abound in this highly anticipated sequel to The Other Merlin, one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of the Year, now in paperback! Emry Merlin should be living her best life as a wizard’s apprentice. Now that she no longer has to pretend to be her brother to study magic, she and Prince Arthur are closer than ever. Except King Uther has warned her to stay away from his son, and Emry’s magic is growing more unpredictable by the day. Meanwhile, Arthur’s prophesied future as the One True King is closing in. And as his wedding to Princess Guinevere draws nearer, he discovers she’s hiding a shocking secret. When Emry learns that the only hope to fix her increasingly dangerous magic is an eccentric Parisian alchemist, Arthur has his own reasons for accompanying her to French court, and for befriending an infamous crowd of young nobles. But it’s going to take a lot more than a depressed gargoyle, some obscenely tight trousers, and a deadly sports match to keep our young heroes from their destiny. Can these reluctant royals and wayward wizards set aside their drama and save their kingdom, or is Camelot doomed?
