Of Neptune

Emma and Galen’s kingdom—and their love—is threatened by long-lost Syrena in the brilliant conclusion to Anna Banks’ bestselling trilogy. Emma, half human and half Syrena, and her Syrena love, Galen, need time together—alone. Away from the kingdoms of Poseidon and Triton. Emma’s grandfather, the Poseidon king, suggests the two visit a small town called Neptune. Neptune is home to both Syrena and Half-Breeds alike. But Emma and Galen didn’t sign up to be peacemakers between the ocean and the land-dwelling, freshwater Syrena. They didn’t bargain for meeting a charming Half-Breed named Reed, who can barely disguise his feelings for Emma. And they especially didn’t expect to find themselves in the middle of a power struggle that threatens not only their love but their ocean kingdoms. In this stunning conclusion to her bestselling Syrena Legacy, Anna Banks thrills fans with more action and romance than ever.

Of Poseidon

Emma and her friend Chloe are spending vacation in Florida. When Emma (literally) runs into a hot guy named Galen on the beach, little does she know he's a prince of the Syrena. Galen and Emma both feel something strange--is it attraction?--and Galen suspects that Emma might well be the girl he's heard of--a human who can communicate with fish. What follows is a deadly scene with a shark in which Galen witnesses Emma's gifts. He must know more about her, and follows her back to New Jersey, and high school, to find out for sure if she's the key to saving his kingdom. Soon, Emma can't deny her feelings for him, but can't explain them, either--and both she and Galen must learn more about where she comes from and what her powers are before they can trust one another and their feelings. Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance.

In fact, she is really, quite scarily e-x-t-r-a-o-r-d-i-n-a-r-y!

Of Triton

Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess and now struggles with an identity crisis. As a half-breed, she's a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm. Syrena law states that all half-breeds should be put to death. As if that's not bad enough, her mother's reappearance in the Syrena world turns the two kingdoms-Poseidon and Triton-against one another. That leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen's request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself-and her gift-to save a people she's never known? Once again, Anna Banks infuses Emma and Galen's points of view with humor, intrigue, and waves of romance.

Ofiara Broni (Księga 8 Kręgu Czarnoksiężnika): Digitally narrated using a synthesized voice

This recording has been digitally produced by DeepZen Limited, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. DeepZen uses Emotive Speech Technology to create digital narrations that offer a similar listening experience to human narration. W OFIERZE BRONI (Księga 8 Kręgu Czarnoksiężnika) Thor uwięziony jest między potężnymi mocami dobra i zła, gdy Andronicus i Rafi używają wszelkiej czarnej magii, jaką dysponują, by podjąć próbę zmiażdżenia jego tożsamości i przejęcia władzy nad jego duszą. Pod ich zaklęciem Thor będzie musiał stoczyć walkę, jakiej jeszcze nigdy nie odbył, by spróbować wydostać się spod wpływu swego ojca i uwolnić się. Na to może być już jednak za późno. Gwendolyn wraz z Alistair, Steffenem i Abertholem zapuszcza się na wyprawę głęboko w Nibyświat, by odnaleźć Argona i uwolnić go z jego magicznego więzienia. Jest to jej ostatnia nadzieja na ocalenie Thora i Kręgu, lecz Nibyświat jest rozległy i zdradziecki i nawet samo odszukanie Argona może okazać się jedynie nieziszczonym snem. Reece przewodzi legionistom w niemal niemożliwej wyprawie, podczas której porwą się na coś, czego nikt przed nimi nie uczynił: zejdą w otchłań Kanionu, by odszukać i odzyskać utracony Miecz. Wkroczą do zupełnie innego świata, w którym roi się od potworów i egzotycznych ras – a wszyscy oni chcą zatrzymać Miecz przy sobie dla swych własnych celów. Romulus, uzbrojony w magiczną pelerynę, wciela w życie swój złowieszczy plan, by wkroczyć do Kręgu i zniszczyć Tarczę; Kendrick, Erec, Bronson i Godfrey walczą, by pokonać zdrajcę; Tirus i Luanda przekonują się, co znaczy być zdrajcami i służyć Andronicusowi; Mycoples próbuje wydostać się na wolność; a w ostatecznym, zaskakującym zwrocie akcji sekret Alistair zostaje w końcu ujawniony. Czy Thor stanie się na powrót sobą? Czy Gwendolyn odnajdzie Argona? Czy Reece odnajdzie Miecz? Czy plan Romulusa się powiedzie? Czy Kendrick, Erec, Bronson i Godfrey zwyciężą mimo niesprzyjających okoliczności? I czy Mycoples powróci? Czy też Krąg zostanie całkowicie i ostatecznie zniszczony? Odznaczająca się wyszukaną inscenizacją i charakteryzacją SZARŻA WALECZNYCH to epicka opowieść o przyjaciołach i kochankach, rywalach i zalotnikach, rycerzach i smokach, intrygach i politycznych machinacjach, o dorastaniu, o złamanych sercach, oszustwach, ambicji i zdradzie. To opowieść o honorze i odwadze, losie i przeznaczeniu, o magii. To fantazja wciągająca nas w świat, którego nigdy nie zapomnimy i który przemówi do wszystkich grup wiekowych i płci.

Ogre Enchanted

Set in the world of the Newbery Honor-winning Ella Enchanted, this tale by beloved author Gail Carson Levine stars a clever heroine who is determined to defy expectations—and outwit a fairy’s curse. Evie is happiest when she is healing people, diagnosing symptoms and prescribing medications, with the help of her devoted friend (and test subject) Wormy. So when Wormy unexpectedly proposes to her, she kindly turns him down; she has far too much to do to be marrying anyone. And besides, she simply isn’t in love with him. But a certain meddling fairy named Lucinda has been listening in, and she doesn’t approve of Evie’s rejection. Suddenly, Evie finds herself transformed from a girl into a hideous, hungry ogre! Stuck in this new and confusing form, Evie now has only sixty-two days to accept another proposal—or else be stuck as an ogre forever.
