Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general also known as her tough-as-talons mother has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you're smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away... because dragons don't bond to fragile humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for ... |

It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she ... |

Трето допълнено издание. ... Историята на Аристотеловия текст е твърде занимателна и много прилича на повест за изгубената / скрита и след векове открита библиотека от тайни книги, разкриващи всичко важно. Част от тази изгубена и намерена библиотека е Метафизиката. Тя се състои от 14 книги, като отдавна е забелязано, че те образуват по-скоро сборник, отколкото единно произведение, създадено по предварителен план. Преводът е направен по редактирания от Хю Треденик текст на Имануел Бекер (Берлин, 1831; Оксфорд, 1837) от Николай Гочев. Третото допълнено издание на книгата съдържа и превод на Категории. Преводът на Николай ... |

Той се страхува, че тя няма да остане. Тя се страхува, че никога няма да си тръгне. Последното място, на което градското момиче Сесили Кенеди си представя, че ще се озове, е затънтено ранчо в Западна Канада. Нуждата от закрила от съпруга ѝ обаче, който я подлага на насилие от години, я отвежда именно там. Сесили не е подготвена за усиления труд и забавеното темпо на живот, а още по-малко за вечно намръщения си шеф Остин Уелс. Той е груб, но и неимоверно привлекателен и не спира да ѝ изпраща смесени сигнали. Всъщност ненавижда ли я или я желае? Остин е убеден, че градското момче няма да се задържи дълго в ... |
