Love is deadly. </i><br/><br/><b>1506, Joseon. </b>The people suffer under the cruel reign of the tyrant King Yeonsan, powerless to stop him from commandeering their land for his recreational use, banning and burning books, and kidnapping and horrifically abusing women and girls as his personal playthings.<br/><br/>Seventeen-year-old Iseul has lived a sheltered, privileged life despite the kingdom's turmoil. When her older sister, Suyeon, becomes the king's latest prey, Iseul leaves the relative safety of her village, traveling through forbidden territory to reach the capital in hopes of stealing her sister back. But she soon discovers the king's power is absolute, and to challenge his rule is to court certain death.<br/><br/>Prince Daehyun has lived his whole life in the terrifying shadow of his despicable half-brother, the king. Forced to watch King Yeonsan flaunt his predation through executions and rampant abuse of the common folk, Daehyun aches to find a way to dethrone his half-brother once and for all. When staging a coup, failure is fatal, and he'll need help to pull it off-but there's no way to know who he can trust.<br/><br/>When Iseul's and Daehyun's fates collide, their contempt for each other is transcended only by their mutual hate for the king. Armed with Iseul's family connections and Daehyun's royal access, they reluctantly join forces to launch the riskiest gamble the kingdom has ever seen:<br/><br/><b>Save her sister. Free the people.

<p><b>The revolutionary new offering from Jordan B. Peterson, renowned psychologist and author of the global bestseller <i>12 Rules for Life</i></b> </p><p><br/>In <i>We Who Wrestle with God</i>, Jordan Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that stabilize, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah, the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham's terrible adventure, and the epic of Moses and the Israelites: What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them, over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction?<br/><br/>It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies - to see ourselves and others as if for the first time.<br/><br/>Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own conscience, and Jonah, confronting hell itself, in the belly of the whale, because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in intent, aim and purpose, as you begin to more deeply understand the structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Jordan Peterson through the greatest stories ever told.<br/><br/>Dare to wrestle with God.<br/></p>

New Memoir [Bok / Häftad]

Path [Bok / Häftad]

<p>The long-awaited memoir from the beloved film and television star - known to multiple generations for his starring roles on the long-running shows Magnum, P.I. and Blue Bloods - chronicles both his life in show business and his life away from it.Nearly every American knows Tom Selleck, both by name and by face. For four decades and counting, Selleck has been a television and film icon, first in Magnum, P.I., one of the most popular and enduring shows of the eighties, and currently in Blue Bloods, where he plays New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan.But Selleck&apos;s career is longer, and richer, than those two hits suggest. He began in the trenches as a working actor in the late sixties and struggled for more than a decade before breaking out as Magnum. At the height of his stardom, he opted not for cookie-cutter blockbusters but for more interesting character-based projects: comedies like Three Men and a Baby and In &amp; Out, a record-setting trilogy of TV-movie Westerns, and the acclaimed Jesse Stone TV-movie franchise. And that doesn&apos;t even count his key supporting role on the generation-defining sitcom Friends or his appearance on Broadway in a Thousand Clowns.All along the way, Selleck has been careful to balance his stardom with a devotion to family life and privacy. His memoir offers a rare and rewarding look inside that career and that life. Beginning with Selleck&apos;s Southern California childhood, following him through an America roiled by Vietnam and the counterculture, this memoir chronicles Selleck&apos;s development not just as an actor (and as an actor who worked with such legends as Mae West, Frank Sinatra, and Marlon Brando), but as a man. Rich with charm, insight, and a surprising dose of self-deprecating humour, this memoir illuminates five decades of Hollywood - and of America.A vivid and incisive portrait that combines heart and head, work and home, hard-fought wisdom and renewable optimism, Selleck&apos;s memoir is an up-close and inspiring look at America&apos;s favourite actor.</p>
