VAD HÄNDER MED våra barn när de lämnas ensamma på nätet? Vad hittar ett barn i de allra mörkaste delarna av Darknet som är så ondskefullt att vi vägrar tro på det? Mikaela Sköld är inrikesreporter på Sveriges största nyhetsbyrå och ensamstående mamma till tolvåriga Vanja. Hon tvingas lämna sin febersjuka dotter ensam hemma och när hon kommer hem från jobbet är Vanja spårlöst försvunnen. Polisen har inte mycket att gå på, men Mikaelas egna efterforskningar pekar mot Darknet den dolda delen av nätet. Hennes sökande efter dottern tar henne allt djupare ned i en febrig och farlig värld, så mörk och depraverad att hon inte kunnat föreställa sig den i sina värsta mardrömmar. Och någonstans på nätet finns en klocka som tickar ned om tjugofyra timmar startar nästa show i The Red Room. Vågar du titta?
Sommarens mest nervpirrande deckardebut!
"Nådlös bladvändare som trycker på rätt knappar. (...) Man säger ju rutinmässigt om deckare att de är bladvändare , men det var ärligt talat länge sedan jag läste något i genren som var verkligt spännande. Feber är faktiskt det, och därmed uppfyller den kriminalromanens viktigaste kriterium." Aftonbladet, Malin Krutmeijer
"Feber är mycket svår att lägga ifrån sig. Ser redan fram mot nästa bok!" Västerviks-Tidningen
"Jag sitter på nålar under hela läsningen. Min puls ökar för varje sida. En helgjuten thriller och en författare i högform." Mikaelas bokhylla, bokblogg
"Jag kan bara gratulera dig som ännu inte läst Feber. Du har några spännande timmar framför dig!" Kicki Bokmal, bokblogg
"Det är verkligen extra allt. (...) Det var länge sedan jag läste så snabbt för att komma framåt till upplösningen." DAST Magazine, Nisse Scherman
"Jag är djupt imponerad över den research som författaren lagt ner inför skrivandet av Feber. Välskriven och omskakande" Samuel Karlsson, deckarförfattare
"Feber är sjukt spännande, tankeväckande, och en grym debut av Johan Brännström." Hyllan, Bokblogg
"Boken är högaktuell (...). En bladvändare som kröp ända in under skinnet!" Hannys bokhylla, bokblogg
"Så fruktansvärt spännande att det helt enkelt inte går att sluta läsa!" Lotta Olsson tipsar om Feber i DN.
"Feber är en bok som kryper in under skinnet redan i prologen, som sedan skickligt och otäckt avslöjar mer och mer om det mörker som gömmer sig bland oss, bara några knapptryck bort. (...) Det är helt omöjligt att läsa en bok med sådan hjärtklappning och sedan inte ge full pott! När kommer nästa?" Kickis Bokhylla, bokblogg
"En fantastiskt deckare! (...) den är spännande in i minsta detalj. (...) Johan Brännström har skapat en bok som jag kommer minnas, inte bara på grund av alla skrämmande moment utan också på grund av den välgjorda handlingen. En otroligt, otroligt bra debut!" Idas Recensioner, bokblogg
"WOW vilken bok. (...) Den här boken är så spännande. Jag sitter på helspänn och kan inte sluta läsa. En äkta bladvändare. (...) Jag kan inte säga mer än att har ni inte läst boken, så läs den!" Ett litet kapitel, Bokblogg
"Jag satt på nålar och var hela tiden tvungen att läsa mer och mer. Ibland var jag på väg att hoppa fram några sidor bara för att få veta mer, men stoppade mig själv för jag ville inte missa ett enda ord av historien. Johan skriver så man blir engagerad och berörd. ...en [bok] jag rekommenderar otroligt starkt." mrsnikain, Bokblogg
"Han skriver på ett sätt som gör att man inte kan lägga bort boken, man sugs in i handlingen. Skickligt skriven. Den här boken är nummer ett för mig." Systrarna Boktokiga, Nya Lidköpings-Tidningen

Nizahl's armies have laid waste to Jasad and banned magic across the four remaining kingdoms. Fortunately, Sylvia's magic is as good at playing dead as she is.When the Nizahl Heir tracks a group of Jasadis to Sylvia's village, the quiet life she's crafted unravels. Calculating and cold, Arin's tactical brilliance is surpassed only by his hatred for magic. When a mistake exposes Sylvia's magic, Arin offers her an escape: compete as Nizahl's Champion in the Alcalah tournament and win immunity from persecution. In exchange, Arin will use her as bait to draw out the Jasadis he's hunting.To win the deadly Alcalah, Sylvia must work with Arin to free her trapped magic, all while staying a step ahead of his efforts to uncover her identity.

Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 ‘The best fantasy debut of 2018’ – WIRED A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic.When Rin aced the Keju – the test to find the most talented students in the Empire – it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard – the most elite military school in Nikan – was even more surprising.But surprises aren’t always good.Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power – an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive – and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school.For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away…

"En bangerdebut, helt enkelt." Expressen
"Soraya Bay placerar inte bara kniven mitt i vår lobotomerade samtid och vrider om. Hon lyckas också med något så fint som att skriva medryckande noveller som får mig att vilja läsa vidare när de är slut. Och när världen känns dyster väcker få saker hopp som ett nytt briljant författarskap." Sydsvenskan
En kvinna blir besatt av sin sambos älskarinna och smyger in i hennes liv. På en vernissage blir en hungrig besökande ofrivilligt en del av ett konstverk. Ett efter ett glider olika hem förbi – platser att bo på, lämna, överleva. I ett dystopiskt Sverige måste kvinnor slåss för matkuponger i en slagsmålsklubb. Och varje morgon börjar på samma sätt – i badrummet, med blicken i spegeln.
I Soraya Bays ”Ymnighetshornet” speglas en narcissistisk samtid där novellerna kan beskrivas som ett gnistrande fyrverkeri av klass och kapital och där små ögonblick som rymmer stora skiften fångas.

"Lázár is an exquisite and masterly pronouncement that a gifted young writer walks among us" Patti Smith"A truly great writer steps onto the stage" Daniel Kehlmann"Propulsive, twisting and spell-binding. Lázár is a bold, intricate accomplishment" Lucy SteedsThe snow of the dying century still lay on the edge of the dark forest when Lajos von Lázár, the translucent child with water-blue eyes, first glimpsed the man he would believe to be his father for his whole life and beyond. The Lázárs have ruled their Hungarian lands for generations. In their ancient castle by the edge of a forest that compels all who enter it to madness, they succumb to every vice and live only to satiate their desires. But the old order is crumbling, and the days of the Habsburg Monarchy are numbered. When Lajos von Lázár inherits, they at last have a baron who can reignite the old splendours, but not even his abilities are proof against the ravages of war and occupation. It will fall to his children - a boy who talks to shadows and a girl who eschews her blue blood - to find a way to stand against oppression and take the first faltering steps towards freedom.A sweeping epic, taking the reader from the beginning of the twentieth century to the Hungarian National Uprising of 1956, Lázár would be a phenomenal achievement for a writer of any age. With its air of timeless wisdom, it reads like rediscovered classic, making it all the more remarkable that it was written when the author was just twenty-one years old.Translated from the German by Jamie Bulloch
