Others: Overwhelmingly positiveGodine 480.pr.Kr. kod Termopila (Vruća vrata) na sjeveru Grčke odigrala se najveličanstvenija bitka za slobodu tijekom čitave povijesti čovječanstva. U uskom planinskom prolazu iznad Egejskog mora sukobilo se 300 spartanskih vitezova s nadmoćnim snagama perzijskog kralja Kserksa. Od samog početka bilo je jasno da će Spartanci izgubiti bitku. Zašto su ipak bili spremni poginuti? Priča zarobljenog roba Kseona otkrit će tajnu tog podviga i poslati svima poruku o neuništivom dostojanstvu jednog naroda. Vatrena vrata epski su roman naturalističnih prizora bitaka zbog čije će vam se uvjerljivosti činiti da gledate raskošni holivudski film. (source: back-cover)

Others: PositiveNo segundo volume da série que conquistou o TikTok, a princesa Aurora se vê presa entre dois poderosos alfas, enquanto uma força sombria desperta. Aurora pode ter sobrevivido ao Rei Lobo, mas a mordida dele deixou uma marca em sua pele. Segundo a Lei dos Lobos, isso faz dela propriedade dele. Agora, ele a quer de volta. Para derrotá-lo e tomar seu trono, Aurora e Callum precisam formar uma aliança perigosa com um dos Lobos mais temidos do Reino: Blake. Ele pode ser um inimigo, mas, para salvá-la, entrelaçou sua vida à de Aurora ― o que significa que tudo que o alfa sofrer, a princesa sofrerá também. Enquanto tenta romper essa conexão, Aurora suspeita de que Blake esteja escondendo segredos sobre um poder sombrio que desperta no Norte e sobre a natureza inquietante do vínculo entre eles. Parece haver em curso uma trama muito maior do que a mera disputa pelo Trono dos Lobos ― uma trama que ameaça tanto o Reino dos Lobos quanto o Reino dos Homens. Com inimigos se aproximando, relacionamentos sendo postos à prova e segredos revelados, Aurora pode ser a única capaz de impedir a ascensão de um mal ancestral. Se ela conseguir descobrir em quem confiar. Se ela conseguir decidir de que lado está sua lealdade ― e seu coração. Se ela conseguir sobreviver.

Others: Overwhelmingly positive„Sbohem, všechny city, které povznášejí srdce! Zastupoval jsem Prozřetelnost, abych odměnil dobré. Teď ať mi postoupísvé místo Bůh mstitel, abych potrestal zlé!" Je rok 1815. Lodní důstojník Edmond Dantès se chystá oženit s krásnou Mercedes. Intriky závistivého účetního Danglarse a žárlivost soka v lásce Fernanda způsobí, že Dantès je zatčen coby nepřítel státu. Náměstek prokurátora Villefort ho v obavě před vlastní diskreditací nechá bez soudu uvěznit v pevnosti If na doživotí. Nešťastný mladík málem zešílí žalem; život mu zachrání vězeň z vedlejšíkobky, abbé Faria, který mu věnuje přátelství, naději a nakonec i mapu k závratnému pokladu. Po dramatickém útěku z vězení Dantès zosnuje pomstu na těch, kteří se na něm provinili, a přijme identitu tajemného a úžasně bo-hatého hraběte Monte Cristo.

Others: Overwhelmingly positiveThis fourth entry and prequel tells the story of Lundy, a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should. When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she's found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well.

Others: Leaning negative« In English: What is it you think you're protecting in that brain of yours? The war is over. Holdfast is dead. The Eternal Flame extinguished. There's no one left for you to save. Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner - of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew destroyed. In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia's new ruling class of corrupt guild families, and depraved necromancers, whose vile undead creatures helped bring about their victory, holds Helena captive. According to Resistance records, she was a healer of little importance within their ranks. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss of the months leading up to her capture, making her enemies wonder: Is she truly as insignificant as she appears, or are her lost memories hiding some vital piece of the Resistance's final gambit? To uncover the memories buried deep within her mind, Helena is sent to the High Reeve, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in this new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate, Helena's fight-to protect her lost history and to preserve the last remaining shreds of her former self-is just beginning. For her prison and captor have secrets of their own... secrets Helena must unearth, whatever the cost. En Français: La guerre est finie. Que croyez-vous protéger dans votre cerveau ? Holdfast est mort. La Flamme éternelle s'est éteinte. Il ne vous reste plus personne à sauver... » Helena Marino était une alchimiste prometteuse. Aujourd'hui, elle n'est plus qu'une prisonnière, captive de la guerre qui a ravagé Paladia et de sa propre mémoire défaillante. Ses amis et alliés de la résistance ont été massacrés, ses pouvoirs neutralisés, et le monde qu'elle connaissait n'est plus qu'un champ de ruines. Dans l'après-guerre, Paladia est tombée sous le contrôle de guildes corrompues et de nécromanciens dépravés, dont les créatures mortes-vivantes ont assuré le triomphe. Helena est désormais entre leurs mains. Officiellement, elle n'était qu'une guérisseuse sans importance. Pourtant, les mois qui ont précédé sa capture se sont effacés de sa mémoire, et cette zone d'ombre intrigue. Est-elle vraiment aussi insignifiante qu'on le prétend, ou détient-elle, sans le savoir, la clé du dernier espoir de la résistance? Pour découvrir la vérité, elle est confiée au Haut Préfet, l'un des nécromanciens les plus redoutés du nouveau régime. Cloîtrée dans son domaine, Helena doit se battre pour préserver les bribes de son identité et raviver la mémoire de celle qu'elle était. Mais son geôlier, comme le lieu qui l'entoure, dissimule des secrets bien plus sombres encore... que Helena devra percer, quel qu'en soit le prix.
