Demon Siege
The demons have arrived, and the final battle for Kaighal is about to start. In preparation for the siege, Kamira has gathered as many allies as she could, but some are more reluctant than others. In the city about to face off against powerful demons and their hordes of demonlings, its defenders are still divided. As it becomes apparent that there’s one or more traitors in their midst, Kamira and her friends will have to take risks to ensure Kaighal doesn’t fall. While humans struggle with their own challenges, five demons vie for supremacy over one another. If Kamira has her say, that's five demons too many, and they all have to go, one way or another… even if she and Veelk have to face them on their own. Humans, demon, and magic will clash changing the future of Kamira and Veelk’s home. But to truly save it might require more sacrifice than they expect.
Snakebitten
In the war, it was simple, “kill or be killed”. Now myth-touched Kaja will have to put her life on the line and partake in a dangerous game with the enemy. After a series of setbacks and deaths, the Scáthanna finally have a lead on their mysterious adversary. A name alone is hardly enough, but Cathal has a plan, so when Lady Eithne’s orders put Kaja back in the center of Trinity’s troubles, the Scáthanna will make their move… hopefully before their enemy does. Yet, Cathal’s mission verges on suicide, and when death comes courting, Kaja is desperate to find another dance partner, even if it means making deals with the Snake’s servants. Pitched against the mastermind of manipulation, Kaja will have to risk everything. One false step in this dance, and the whole of Eireland will pay the price.
Humanborn
In the war, the mythborn killed her friends, but now humanborn Kaja needs to work with them to uncover a conspiracy or Dublin's streets will run red with blood once more. Less than a decade ago, the Magiclysm, a tear between Earth and another place, brought magic to Ireland—and worse, it brought back the mythborn. The war that followed left Dublin scarred, and cursed Kaja Modrzewska with chaotic magic that will eventually claim her life. Struggling with wartime nightmares, Kaja seeks normalcy amongst the volatile peace working as an information broker when a series of explosions across Dublin threatens to reignite the war. Both sides are eager to blame the other, so Kaja reluctantly agrees to investigate. But finding the terrorists responsible means working alongside the mythborn’s elite killers, and uncomfortable wartime secrets coming to light. Kaja, who had saved a mythborn’s life during the war, finds out she has a life debt of her own, and as she juggles her allegiances and obligations, she’ll have to decide where her loyalties lie, with her old human allies or the mythborn.
Kolonia
Carl Butler był niegdyś szanowanym, odznaczonym oficerem. Teraz jest zhańbionym odludkiem, pragnącym jedynie przeżyć resztę życia na zadupiu, gdzie nikogo nie obchodzą jego „zbrodnie” i gdzie wszyscy zostawiają go w spokoju. Ale łatwo już było. Zaginęła córka wysoko postawionego dyrektora, a ten uważa, że tylko Butler zdoła ją odnaleźć. Sam Butler nie jest zbyt przekonany, wie jednak, jakie cierpienie wiąże się z utratą córki, więc z wahaniem przyjmuje zlecenie. Wkrótce trafia na wojskowy okręt kierujący się do niedawno utworzonej kolonii, gdzie tuż za kopułami, pod którymi żyją osadnicy, czai się śmiercionośna dżungla. W towarzystwie Maka, Fanos ...
In the Mirror of the Past
These days, we are ever more often confronted by overwhelming events. Searching for a way to understand them, we turn to mythic archetypes still present in our culture. The authors of these essays pose questions about the reliability of the archetypes found in tradition, history, and scattered mythologemes. The essays in this collection deal with the presence of mythic time in modern speculative fiction, such as fantasy and alternate histories, and discuss major mythologemes and their functions in popular literature and extra-literary reality. The authors show how mythopoeic fiction becomes a (genetically) modified mythic mirror in which we hope to see answers to vexing questions, or just a reality superior to the ordinary one. In the Mirror of the Past: Of Fantasy and History is a collection of seven essays by American and Polish authors, including Brian Attebery, Terri Doughty, and Marek Oziewicz, with Mircea Eliade’s concept of “return from history to History” as their underlying theme.
Powiernik mieczy
Waleczny jak Conan. Honorowy jak Aragorn. Logiczny jak Sheldon. Rezkin został wychowany i wyszkolony w odosobnieniu w północnych ostępach królestwa Ashai. Całym jego światem była Forteca, a jedyną rodziną - Mistrzowie i Adwersarze. Ale Mistrzowie i Adwersarze nie żyją. Trupy wszystkich zostały dziedzińcu Fortecy. Prawie wszystkich, bo jeden człowiek uniknął rzezi. I to właśnie jego tropem Rezkin wyruszy w świat zewnętrzny. Być może ten człowiek wie, jakiej prawdy nie zdążył przekazać umierający Mistrz. Być może gdzieś tam są ci przyjaciele, których Rezkin ma szanować i chronić. Być może gdzieś tam odnajdzie ostateczny cel swojego istnienia. Najpierw jednak musi odnaleźć się w świecie pełnym małych i dużych ludzi, którzy nie posiadają Umiejętności, nie przestrzegają Zasad a na dodatek ciągle się uśmiechają i rumienią. Słowem: to nie jest świat dla poważnego herosa.
Civil War in Central Europe, 1918-1921
Civil War in Central Europe argues that Polish independence after the First World War was forged in the fires of the post-war conflicts which should be collectively referred to as the Central European Civil War (1918-1921). The ensuing violence forced those living in European border regions to decide on their national identity - German or Polish.
