Bestsellerowa seria New York Times powraca, a wraz z nią ekscytujące odkrycie: zupełnie nowe gatunki smoków! Przez stulecia krążyły pogłoski o drugim kontynencie na planecie smoków innym lądzie za oceanem, zamieszkałym przez smoki całkowicie odmienne od tych, które znamy. Na jego istnienie jednak nigdy nie było dowodów i większość smoków uznała te opowieści za legendy. Aż do teraz.Bo historie te okazały się prawdziwe. I nadchodzą inne plemiona.
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil’s visions. But when Sybil’s fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she’d rather avoid Rodrick’s dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.
Debiutancka powieść Macieja Rapy, Phenomen, ukazuje Ziemię po katastrofie tak globalnej, że doszło do załamania wszelkich praw fizyki i biologii przez nieznane dotąd zjawisko. W tym świecie tworzywa sztuczne oraz metal żyją i zwracają się przeciwko ludziom. Dla części ocalałych ta nowa rzeczywistość jest piekłem i wielką niewiadomą, dla innych brutalną rozrywką pozbawioną sensu, ale uzależniającą. Pierwsi stają się ofiarami, a drudzy drapieżnikami. Czy w takich okolicznościach można zachować człowieczeństwo? Albo je odzyskać? Phenomen to tylko pozornie typowe postapo. W tej historii nie ma nic zwykłego ani banalnego, a kolejne wydarzenia przybierają tak nieprzewidywalny obrót, że zaskoczą nawet znawców tego gatunku.
Journey into space with Polish scifi master Stanislaw Lem. The whimsical time-loops of Ijon Tichy’s cosmic adventure ‘The Seventh Voyage’ are reminiscent of Douglas Adams, while the spectral whispers haunting Pirx the Pilot as he navigates his spaceship to Mars in ‘Terminus’, echo the author’s masterpiece Solaris. Then ‘The Mask’ introduces a perfect robot assassin and asks, can AI fall in love or refuse its programming? What if the target of its affections is also its prey?
And this is fantasy, the flutter, the rapture of fantasy!’
A bashful dragon, a lost wood-sprite, the prophet Elijah and the Devil disguised as a middle-aged woman appear in these playful, exuberant stories by Vladimir Nabokov. So do a vengeful husband, a barber confronting his torturer and the author himself, as he recalls his first love. Each of the thirteen tales here enchants and enraptures us, only to gleefully confound our expectations.
PRZEZNACZENIE SITHÓW WISI NA WŁOSKU W EPICKIM FINALE TRYLOGII DARTHA BANE’A.
Minęło dwadzieścia lat, odkąd Sithowie i ich niekończąca się rywalizacja zostały wymazane z kart historii, a w ich miejsce wprowadzono Zasadę Dwóch. Darth Bane rządzi teraz wraz ze swoją młodą akolitką, Zannah, która zgłębia tajniki ciemnej strony Mocy i doskonali swoje umiejętności, aż nadejdzie chwila, gdy podniesie ostrze przeciwko swemu mistrzowi i przejmie jego dziedzictwo. Jednak brutalny nowy reżim Bane’a skrywa potencjalnie śmiertelną słabość – czy spuścizna Mrocznego Lorda przetrwa, jeśli uczeń nie odważy się podjąć wyzwania i zadać ostatecznego ciosu? Jedyne rozwiązanie to odkrycie dawno zapomnianego sekretu zakonu – klucza do nieśmiertelności. Wątpliwości Bane’a pobudzają młodą Zannah do działania, a ona przysięga zgładzić swojego mistrza za wszelką cenę. Gdy Bane tajemniczo znika, Zannah wyrusza jego śladem przez galaktykę aż do opuszczonej pustynnej placówki, gdzie los ciemnej strony zostanie przesądzony w ostatecznej walce na śmierć i życie.
Od ponad czterdziestu lat powieści osadzone w odległej galaktyce wzbogacają świat Star Wars, oferując fanom możliwość kontynuowania przygody poza ekranem. George Lucas, tworząc Gwiezdne Wojny, wykreował uniwersum rozpalające wyobraźnię i inspirujące wielu autorów. Uczynił je przestrzenią, w której inni mogli opowiadać swoje historie. Tak narodził się rozszerzony wszechświat, czyli Expanded Universe (EU), obejmujący książki, komiksy, gry wideo i wiele innych dzieł. Expanded Universe do dziś stanowi natchnienie dla twórców Star Wars i funkcjonuje pod nazwą Legendy. Współczesne opowieści gwiezdnowojenne czerpią pomysły, postaci i wątki fabularne z tego bogatego dziedzictwa. Kolekcja Legend przybliża jedne z najważniejszych i najbardziej ukochanych historii rozgrywających się dawno, dawno temu w odległej galaktyce.
Życie Emily Wilde wypełniały badania nad faerie. Jako słynna driadolożka udokumentowała istnienie setek ich gatunków w swojej "Encyklopedii wróżek i elfów". Teraz zamierza rozpocząć swój najbardziej niebezpieczny projekt naukowy: studiowanie codzienności królestwa Faerie jako jego królowa. Razem ze swoim byłym uczelnianym rywalem, a obecnie narzeczonym, atrakcyjnym i zmiennym Wendellem Bamblebym, Emiily trafia w sam środek sieci groźnych intryg i piękny koszmar pełen naukowych skarbów, kiedy oboje przejmują władzę w niegdyś utraconym królestwie Wendella. Emily przez całe życie miała obsesję na punkcie legend faerie, ale z początku czuje się w tej krainie nie na swoim miejscu, podobnie jak wcześniej w świecie śmiertelników: jak taka skromna uczona mogłaby uchodzić za królową? Ma jednak niewiele czasu, żeby się przystosować, bo zanim mordercza macocha Wendella zniknęła bez śladu, rzuciła na królestwo straszliwą klątwę. Rozwikłanie tajemnicy będzie wymagało całej magii Wendella i wiedzy Emily, zanim stracą wszystko, co jest im drogie.
Welcome to Bletchley Park… with dragons.
London, 1923. Dragons soar through the skies and protests erupt on the streets, but Vivien Featherswallow isn’t worried. She’s going to follow the rules, get an internship studying dragon languages, and make sure her little sister never has to risk growing up Third Class. By midnight, Viv has started a civil war.
With her parents arrested and her sister missing, all the safety Viv has worked for is collapsing around her. So when a lifeline is offered in the form of a mysterious ‘job’, she grabs it. Arriving at Bletchley Park, Viv discovers that she has been recruited as a codebreaker helping the war effort – if she succeeds, she and her family can all go home again. If she doesn’t, they’ll all die.
At first Viv believes that her challenge, of discovering the secrets of a hidden dragon language, is doable. But the more she learns, the more she realises that the bubble she’s grown up in isn’t as safe as she thought, and eventually Viv must decide: What war is she really fighting?
An epic, sweeping fantasy with an incredible Dark Academia setting, a clandestine, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, and an unputdownable story, filled with twists and turns, betrayals and secret identities, A Language of Dragons is the unmissable debut of 2025, from an extraordinary new voice.
Lost to time, space, and legend, Wakanda’s rightful king must answer the call of rebellion…
On Earth, Wakanda is a beacon of prosperity and a bastion of freedom. But across the expanse of space, thousands of lightyears away, lies another Wakanda. One that has grown to hold five galaxies in its iron grip. One that steals the memories of those it enslaves. One that has abandoned the values of its forbearers and seeks only the glory and power of Empire.
Lost amongst unfamiliar stars, a man finds himself trapped in an imperial mining camp – one of the countless Nameless violated by the Empire. He knows not how he got there, who he is, or even his name. Only a haunting vision of a woman who he must have known once, imploring him to “Come back to me.” The only thing he does know, in his bones, is that he must fight the oppression that binds him and the others around him. It is that will to fight that leads him to the Maroons, a band of rebels, determined to shatter the Empire and restore the memories of the Nameless. Quickly, the man proves his worth with an unparalleled skill for battle, and the Maroons bestow on the man a title of hope, promise, and responsibility: T’Challa.
As T’Challa’s reputation amongst the rebels and ordinary citizens spreads, whispers of hope begin to swirl. Could this be the true T’Challa of old, the Avenger? The one Who Puts the Knife Where it Belongs? As all eyes turn to him, T’Challa must decide if he will embrace a future of responsibility as their savior or pursue the mystery of his true past.
A definitive annotated edition of one of the greatest of Terry Pratchett’s multi-million-bestselling Discworld novels
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is in hot pursuit of a serial killer. The trouble is, a well-timed lightning strike has thrown both policeman and pursued into the city’s past. Now Vimes must relive the history that made him: a cruel regime, a bloody revolution, a corrupt police force, and, most unnerving of all, a keen young recruit named Sam Vimes… Night Watch, which draws on inspirations as far ranging as Victor Hugo and M*A*S*H, is a keen satire about the true nature of political power, and the sacrifices made in the name of the greater good; but also a profoundly empathetic novel about community, connection and the tenacity of the human spirit.
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels are among the most successful and influential fantasy titles of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This edition of Night Watch – written at the height of Pratchett’s imaginative powers – includes a new foreword by Rob Wilkins and an introduction and annotations by Dr David Lloyd and Dr Darryl Jones, contextualising the novel and Pratchett’s far-reaching legacy for new readers and current fans alike.
The Stormlight Archive saga continues in Rhythm of War, the eagerly awaited sequel to Brandon Sanderson's #1 New York Times bestselling Oathbringer, from an epic fantasy writer at the top of his game.
After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and the threat of a betrayal by Dalinar’s crafty ally Taravangian looms over every strategic move.
Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin’s scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very core of the Radiant ideals, and potentially reveal the secrets of the ancient tower that was once the heart of their strength.
At the same time that Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with his changing role within the Knights Radiant, his Windrunners face their own problem: As more and more deadly enemy Fused awaken to wage war, no more honorspren are willing to bond with humans to increase the number of Radiants. Adolin and Shallan must lead the coalition’s envoy to the honorspren stronghold of Lasting Integrity and either convince the spren to join the cause against the evil god Odium, or personally face the storm of failure.
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.
It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.
One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.
Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.
Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.
The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making.
Speak again the ancient oaths:
Life before death.
Strength before weakness.
Journey before Destination.
and return to men the Shards they once bore.
The Knights Radiant must stand again.
Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.
But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.
With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.
Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.
Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.
In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance.
Dalinar Kholin’s Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified.
Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar’s blood-soaked past and stand together—and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past—even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.
They did the impossible, ending the thousand-year reign of the godlike Lord Ruler. Now Vin, the former street urchin turned powerful Mistborn, and Elend Venture, the idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a healthy new society in the ashes of an empire.
As tensions grow in the wake of the uprising, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows.
It may just be that killing the Lord Ruler was the easy part. Surviving the aftermath of his fall is going to be the real challenge.
Europa spogląda w otchłań. Szerzą się głód i zarazy, w każdym cieniu czają się potwory, a chciwi książęta są zainteresowani wyłącznie realizacją własnych ambicji. Jedno tylko jest pewne: elfy powrócą, a wtedy pożrą wszystkich. Czasem jedyne drogi ku światłu wiodą przez najczarniejszy mrok, a człowiek prawy nie waży się na nie wkroczyć. Taki właśnie sekret skrywa Kaplica Świętej Konieczności, ukryta głęboko w podziemiach cudownego Niebiańskiego Pałacu. Nie ma grzechów, których nie popełniliby tworzący jej trzódkę skazańcy i potwory, nie ma granic, których by nie przekroczyli, nie ma misji, której nie obróciliby w krwawą rzeź. A teraz nieszczęsny brat Diaz musi znaleźć sposób, by przekonać tych najgorszych z najgorszych do służby w szczytnej sprawie. Mają posadzić złodziejkę na trojańskim Wężowym Tronie i zjednoczyć rozdarty Kościół w obliczu nadciągającej apokalipsy. Kiedy udajesz się do piekła, warto mieć diabły za towarzyszy.
