Scattered throughout the continent and racing against time, Chaol, Manon, and Dorian must forge their own paths to meet their destinies. And across the sea Rowan hunts to find his captured wife and queen - before she is lost to him. Some bonds will deepen and others be severed forever, but as the threads of fate weave together at last, all must fight if they are to find salvation - and a better world.Years in the making, Kingdom of Ash is the unforgettable conclusion to Sarah J. Maas's #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series

Internetovou jazykovou příručku kolektivu autorů Ústavu pro jazyk český AV ČR využilo během prvních dvou let od zpřístupnění více než půl milionu uživatelů češtiny. Její výkladová část nyní vychází poprvé knižně. Do příručky byly zařazeny především ty jevy, na něž se často ptají tazatelé v jazykové poradně. Najdete zde obecná poučení o českém jazyce, zejména o pravopisu, tvarosloví a některých syntaktických jevech. Na rozdíl od současných Pravidel českého pravopisu a mluvnic jsou některé výklady v příručce podrobnější a ucelenější (např. v oblasti psaní velkých písmen, interpunkce, shody přísudku s podmětem, skloňování osobních a zeměpisných jmen atd.). Ve výkladech se uvádějí i rozpory v údajích, které jednotlivé jazykové příručky přinášejí, nebo rozdíly mezi kodifikací a spisovným územ. V takových případech je připojen hodnotící komentář a doporučená řešení. Kniha je určena všem zájemcům o češtinu, a to jak široké veřejnosti, tak jejím profesionálním uživatelům, zvláště učitelům a studentům.

“Una piccola parte di me bisbigliava che potevo sopravvivere ad Amarantha; potevo sopravvivere alla transizione in quel nuovo corpo estraneo… Ma non ero sicura di poter sopravvivere a quella cavità vuota e fredda nel mio petto. Persino durante i periodi più bui, quella parte di me era stata piena di colore, di luce. Forse diventare una Fae l’aveva distrutta. Forse Amarantha l’aveva distrutta. O forse l’avevo distrutta io, quando avevo ficcato i pugnali nei cuori di due innocenti e il loro sangue mi aveva scaldato le mani.” Dopo essersi sottratta al giogo di Amarantha e averla sconfitta, Feyre può finalmente ritornare alla Corte di Primavera. Per riuscirci, però, ha dovuto pagare un prezzo altissimo. Il dolore, il senso di colpa e la rabbia per le azioni terribili che è stata costretta a commettere per liberare se stessa e Tamlin, e salvare il suo popolo, infatti, la stanno mangiando viva, pezzetto dopo pezzetto. E forse nemmeno l’eternità appena conquistata sarà lunga a sufficienza per ricomporla. Qualcosa in lei si è incrinato in modo irreversibile, tanto che ormai non si riconosce più. Non si sente più la stessa Feyre che, un anno prima, aveva fatto il suo ingresso nella Corte di Primavera. E forse non è nemmeno più la stessa Feyre di cui si è innamorato Tamlin. Tanto che l’arrivo improvviso e molto teatrale di Rhysand alla corte per reclamare la soddisfazione del loro patto – secondo il quale Feyre dovrà passare con lui una settimana al mese nella misteriosa Corte della Notte, luogo di montagne e oscurità, stelle e morte – è per lei quasi un sollievo. Ma mentre Feyre cerca di barcamenarsi nel fitto intrico di strategie politiche, potere e passioni contrastanti, un male ancora più pericoloso di quello appena sconfitto incombe su Prythian. E forse la chiave per fermarlo potrebbe essere proprio lei, a patto che riesca a sfruttare a pieno i poteri che ha ricevuto in dono quando è stata trasformata in una creatura immortale, a guarire la sua anima ferita e a decidere così che direzione dare al proprio futuro e a quello di un mondo spaccato in due.

Ancora una volta nascosta sotto il suo manto da assassina, Celaena è tornata a Rithfold, ma non è più una schiava. Ora è Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, Regina di Terrasen. Tuttavia, prima di riprendere il trono che le spetta, dovrà ancora combattere: scavare tra i ricordi più dolorosi, battersi per la sopravvivenza e lottare contro una passione che potrebbe consumarla. E soprattutto si troverà nuovamente di fronte al suo vecchio padrone, il Re degli Assassini. Pronta a reclamare vendetta.

The epic third novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas. Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre, but for everything-and everyone-she holds dear. As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers-both magical and political-and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

"Half-Fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan loves her life. By day, she works for an antiquities dealer, selling barely legal magical artifacts, and by night, she parties with her friends, savoring every pleasure Lunathion-otherwise known as Crescent City-has to offer. But it all comes crumbling down when a ruthless murder shakes the very foundations of the city-and Bryce's world. Two years later, her job has become a dead end, and she now seeks only blissful oblivion in the city's most notorious nightclubs. But when the murderer attacks again, Bryce finds herself dragged into the investigation and paired with an infamous Fallen angel whose own brutal past haunts his every step. Hunt Athalar, personal assassin for the Archangels, wants nothing to do with Bryce Quinlan, despite being ordered to protect her. She stands for everything he once rebelled against and seems more interested in partying than solving the murder, no matter how close to home it might hit. But Hunt soon realizes there's far more to Bryce than meets the eye-and that he's going to have to find a way to work with her if they want to solve this case. As Bryce and Hunt race to untangle the mystery, they have no way of knowing the threads they tug ripple through the underbelly of the city, across warring continents, and down to the darkest levels of Hel, where things that have been sleeping for millennia are beginning to stir.."-- Provided by publisher
