King Sorrow [Bok / Inbunden]

<strong> <em>From holy cup comes holy light; </em> </strong> <br/><br/> <strong> <em>The faithful hands sets world aright. </em> </strong> <br/><br/> <strong> <em>And in the Seven Martyrs' sight, </em> </strong> <br/><br/> <strong> <em>Mere man shall end this endless night.</em> </strong> <br/><br/>Gabriel de Leon has lost his family, his faith, and his last hope of ending the endless night - the Holy Grail, Dior. With no desire left but vengeance, he and a band of loyal brothers journey into the war-torn heart of the Augustin Empire to claim the life of the Forever King. <br/><br/>Unbeknownst to the Last Silversaint, the Grail still lives - speeding towards Augustin's besieged capital in the frail hope of ending Daysdeath forever. But deadly treachery awaits within the halls of power, and the Forever King's legions march ever closer. Gabriel and Dior will be drawn into a final battle that will shape the very fate of the Empire, but as the sun sets for what may be the last time, there will be no-one left for them to trust. <br/><br/>Not even each other. <br/><br/> <strong>From <em>Sunday Times</em> bestselling author of The Nevernight Chronicle, Jay Kristoff, comes the epic conclusion to the #1 internationally bestselling series.</strong>

<b>A startling, witty and downright terrifying collection of 25 short stories from the "21st century's Richard Matheson" (Richard Chizmar, <i>Chasing the Boogeyman</i>.) Perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Rachel Harrison and Eric LaRocca.</b><br/><br/>They're feeding on you too.<br/><br/>A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one. <br/><br/>From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns; from the claustrophobia of the Covid-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own. <br/><br/>Packed full of humanity, humour and above all, relentless creeping dread, <i>Acquired Taste</i> is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror's finest authors.

<b>Return to the cosy and heart-warming world of <i>The Spellshop </i>in <i>The Enchanted Greenhouse </i>by <i>S</i>arah Beth Durst<i>, </i>a world brimming with singing flowers, honey cakes and honeyed love. </b><br/><br/>Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium.<br/><br/>This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She's starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes and freshly baked honey cakes - at least until she's ready to sail home.<br/><br/>But Terlu can't return home and doesn't want to - the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing - causing the death of everything within them - Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again.<br/><br/>This time, though, she isn't alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island - and have a fresh chance at happiness and love.<br/><br/><b>Funny, kind and forgiving, <i>The Enchanted Greenhouse </i>by <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst is a story about giving second chances - to others and to yourself.<br/><br/>Praise for <i>The Spellshop</i>:</b><br/><br/>'A warm, peaceful delight of a novel' - Katherine Arden, author of <i>The Bear and the Nightingale</i><br/><br/>'As comforting as homemade jam on a fresh baked muffin!' - Rebecca Thorne, author of <i>Can't Spell Treason Without Tea</i><br/><br/>'Utterly delightful' - <i>Publishers Weekly</i>
