"This is a wonderful new edition of the Poetic Edda. It captures the language, vitality, and rhythms of the original."—Jesse Byock, PhD, UCLA Gods, giants, the undead, dwarves, Valkyries, heroes, kidnapping, dragons, and a giant wolf are just some of the stars in these Norse tales. Committed to vellum in Iceland around 1270, The Poetic Edda has compelled the likes of Richard Wagner, J. R. R. Tolkien, Jorges Luis Borges, and W.H. Auden. Jeramy Dodds transmits the Old Icelandic text into English without chipping the patina of the original. Jeramy Dodds's Crabwise to the Hounds was shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize and won the Trillium Book Award for poetry.

Here is the explosive story of the Kids for Cash scandal in Pennsylvania, a judicial justice miscarriage that sent more than 2,500 children and teens to a for-profit detention center while two judges lined their pockets with cash, as told by Candy J. Cooper, an award-winning journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist. In the early 2000s, Judge Mark Ciavarella and Judge Michael Conahan of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania were known as no-nonsense judges. Juveniles who showed up in their courtrooms faced harsh words and even harsher sentencing. In the post-Columbine era, many people believed that was just what the county needed to ensure its children and teens stayed on the straight and narrow path. But as more and more children faced shocking sentences for seemingly benign crimes, and a newly built for-profit detention center filled up further and further, a sinister pattern of abuses and bribery emerged. Through extensive research and original reporting leading into contemporary times, award-winning journalist Candy J. Cooper tells the story of a scandal that the Juvenile Law Center calls “one of the largest and most serious violations of children’s rights in the history of the American legal system.”

Once a wealthy businessman, Mathen Cutter has remade himself as the defiant leader of a refugee caravan. After fleeing the escalating war between the Necromian and Elvish Kingdoms, he has guided his patchwork family toward the prospect of sanctuary in the east. But the greatest test of his leadership still lies ahead. Pushing across the treacherous Eastern Wastes, Mathen's band faces a harrowing gauntlet of punishing elements, unforgiving terrain, and the perpetual threat of shadowy pursuers determined to bring them down. When a young pickpocket named Remy emerges with a warning of greater evil on their trail, Mathen's courage and his caravan's resilience will be pushed to their limits. For Jas Cutter, Mathen's headstrong son, the journey has become one of awakening. After rashly sacrificing himself to protect the children, he lays bereaved in the ominous Forest of Death.

As new allies and old adversaries emerge from the shadows, father and son must confront whether their bond can endure against the unraveling of destiny itself.
