Naomi Novik4.2 Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain’s defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.
When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.
Скотт Линч4.3 Однажды Воровской наставник явился к отцу Цеппи, Безглазому священнику храма Переландро, чтобы сбыть с рук несносного мальчишку Локка Ламору. Ведь Ламора, хоть и прирожденный вор, был воистину несносен, и для его исключительных талантов город-государство Каморр — прорезанное десятками каналов, раскинувшееся на множестве островов под сенью исполинских башен из стекла Древних — могло оказаться тесным. С течением лет Локку и его Благородным Канальям сходит с рук многое вплоть до нарушения Тайного уговора, регулирующего всю жизнь Путных людей Каморра, но вот в закулисье преступного сообщества появляется Серый король — безжалостный, невидимый и неуязвимый убийца, — внося свои коррективы в очередную гениальную аферу Локка…

The city's only hope rests in the hands of a young girl, Varis, who has taught herself the art of survival and has been trained in the ways of the assassin. Venturing deep into the heart of Amenkor, Varis will face her harshest challenges and greatest opportunities. And it is here that she will either find her destiny-or meet her doom.
