Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

JEJ LOS ZOSTAŁ ZAPISANY JEJ KRWIĄ. ZOSTAŁ WYRYTY W JEJ KOŚCIACH. TA MOC JEST PRZEZNACZENIAM FREI. W tym inspirowanym mitologią nordycką romansie fantasy pobłogosławiona przez bogów tarczowniczka próbuje zjednoczyć naród pod wodzą żądnego władzy jarla, a jednocześnie usiłuje nie ulec pożądaniu, które czuje wobec jego syna. Freya, uwięziona w niechcianym małżeństwie, spędza całe dnie, patrosząc ryby, ale marzy o tym, by zostać wojowniczką… oraz wbić topór w plecy gburowatego męża. Jej marzenia niespodziewanie stają się rzeczywistością, kiedy mąż zdradza jej sekret miejscowemu jarlowi, a ona sama zostaje zmuszona do walki z jego synem Bjornem. Aby zachować życie, Freya musi wyjawić swoją największą tajemnicę – w jej żyłach płynie kropla boskiej krwi, co czyni ją tarczowniczką, której magia zdolna jest powstrzymać każdy atak. A zgodnie z przepowiednią taka magia zjednoczy Skalandię pod władzą tego, który panuje nad losem tarczowniczki. Jarl, fanatycznie przekonany, że jego przeznaczeniem jest władać Skalandią jako król, wiąże Freyę przysięgą krwi i rozkazuje synowi, by bronił jej przed wszystkimi wrogami. Freya, która desperacko pragnie udowodnić swoją siłę, musi nauczyć się walczyć i panować nad swoją magią, a jednocześnie przetrwać próby, którym poddają ją bogowie. Jednak najtrudniejszą z prób może się okazać jej fascynacja Bjornem. Jeśli tarczowniczka ulegnie pożądaniu, ryzykuje nie tylko własne przeznaczenie, lecz także los wszystkich, których przysięgała chronić [www.gildia.pl, 2025].

A sizzling fantasy romance from the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller & TikTok sensation Danielle Jensen, perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas & A Court of Thorns and Roses. Trapped in an unwanted marriage, Freya dreams of becoming a warrior – and of putting an axe in her controlling husband’s back. But those dreams become a nightmare when he makes a deal with their fanatical ruler, and she’s forced into a fight to the death. To survive, she must reveal her deepest secret: she possesses a drop of a goddess’s blood and magic that will unite their nation beneath the one who controls her fate. Believing he’s destined to be king, the ruler binds Freya with a blood oath and orders his fierce but charming son to train her to fight, to control her magic . . . and to make sure no one lays a hand on her. But the greatest test of all may be resisting her forbidden attraction to the son of her enemy. [Opis od wydawcy]

It's a story tailor-made for the nightly news: Dylan Meserve and Michaela Brand, young lovers and fellow acting students, vanish on the way home from a rehearsal. Three days later, the two of them are found in the remote mountains of Malibu -battered and terrified after a harrowing ordeal at the hands of a sadistic abductor. The details of the nightmarish event are shocking and brutal: the couple was carjacked at gunpoint by a masked assailant and subjected to a horrific regimen of confinement, starvation and assault. But before long, doubts arise about the couple's story, and as forensic details unfold, the abduction is exposed as a hoax. Charged as criminals themselves, the aspiring actors claim emotional problems, and the court orders psychological evaluation for both. Michaela is examined by Alex Delaware, who finds that her claims of depression and stress ring true enough. But they don't explain her lies, and Alex is certain that there are hidden layers in this sordid psychodrama that even he hasn't been able to penetrate. Nevertheless, the case is closed-only to be violently reopened when Michaela is savagely murdered. When the police look for Dylan, they find that he's gone. Is he the killer or a victim himself? Casting their dragnet into the murkiest corners of L.A., Delaware and Sturgis unearth more questions than answers-including a host of eerily identical killings. What really happened to the couple who cried wolf? And what bizarre and brutal epidemic is infecting the city with terror, madness, and sudden, twisted death?

Piętnaście miesięcy temu życie detektyw Lindsay Boxer było idealne – miała piękne dziecko i kochającego męża, Joe, który pomógł jej złapać przestępcę, który bezczelnie zdetonował bombę w centrum San Francisco, zabijając dwadzieścia pięć osób. Ale Joe nie był wszystkim, za kogo Lindsay go uważała, i wciąż nie może się otrząsnąć po jego zdradzie, gdy fala tajemniczych i prawdopodobnie nienaturalnych zawałów serca pochłania pozornie niepowiązane ofiary w całym San Francisco. Jakby tego było mało, zamachowiec, którego ona i Joe schwytali, ma stanąć przed sądem, a jego obrona rodzi potępiające pytania dotyczące śledztwa Lindsay i Joe. Nie wiedząc, komu zaufać i próbując zaakceptować prawdę o mężczyźnie, którego myślała, że zna, Lindsay musi połączyć kropki śmiertelnego spisku, zanim genialny przestępca postawi ją przed sądem.
