      Historie se nemusí brát příliš vážně… Dopřejte si královskou zábavu! Jana Greyová má za sebou totéž, co řada šlechtičen před ní: svatbu s naprosto cizím mužem. Navíc má tu smůlu, že sňatkem se ocitla přímo uprostřed politického komplotu, který svrhl z trůnu jejího bratrance, krále Eduarda, a z ní udělal královnu. Na celých devět dní! Má opravdu vládnout, nebo řešit, že má hrad plný spiklenců a její novomanžel se ve dne proměňuje v koně? Originální fantasy na motivy historických událostí, které ale nebere příliš vážně. Čeká vás dokonalý černý humor, nadsázka, láska, dobrodružství a dokonce i troška magie.

      Možná si myslíte, že ten příběh znáte. Chudá sirota Jane Eyrová začíná nový život jako vychovatelka v Thornfield Hall. Zde poznává zachmuřeného, avšak okouzlujícího pana Rochestera – a vezme si ho. Nebo ne? V tomto nebývalém dobrodružství je všechno jinak, než se zdá. Jistý gentleman skrývá víc než jen jednoho kostlivce ve skříni. Chudinka Jane vidí duchy a vyšetřovatel Alexander Blackwood zas disponuje nadpřirozenými schopnostmi. Je alespoň začínající spisovatelka Charlotte Brontëová normální? Další skvělý příběh od autorek bestselleru Má lady Jane plný zmatků, romantiky a nadpřirozeného chaosu.

    • It's aliiiiiiiive! New York Times bestselling authors of My Lady Jane are back with the electric, poetic, and (almost) historical tale of the one and only Mary Shelley. Mary may have inherited the brilliant mind of her late mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but she lives a drab life above her father's bookstore, waiting for an extraordinary idea that'll inspire a work worthy of her parentage--and impress her rakishly handsome (and super-secret) beau, Percy Shelley. Ada Lovelace knows a thing or two about superstar parents, what with her dad being Lord Byron, the most famous poet on Earth. But her passions lie far beyond the arts--in mechanical engineering, to be exact. Alas, no matter how precise Ada's calculations, there's always a man willing to claim her ingenious ideas as his own. Pan, a.k.a. Practical Automaton Number One, is Ada's greatest idea yet: a machine that will change the world, if only she can figure out how to make him truly autonomous . . . or how to make him work at all. When fate connects our two masterminds, Mary and Ada learn that they are fae--magical people with the ability to make whatever they imagine become real. But when their dream team results in a living, breathing, thinking PAN, Mary and Ada find themselves hunted by a mad scientist who won't stop until he finds out how they made a real boy out of spare parts. With comic genius and a truly electrifying sense of adventure, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn the classics on their head in this YA fantasy that's perfect for fans of Frankenstein and The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue.

    • A captivating story of love, loss, and immortality Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's returned—to her old life, her family, her boyfriend—before she's banished back to the underworld . . . this time forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists. Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance—and the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back, this time as his queen.
