Trial by Fire (Raised by Wolves #2)
by Jennifer Lynn BarnesThere can only be one alpha. Bryn is finally settling into her position as alpha of the Cedar Ridge Pack—or at least, her own version of what it means to be alpha when you're a human leading a band of werewolves. Then she finds a teenage boy bleeding on her front porch. Before collapsing, he tells her his name is Lucas, he's a Were, and Bryn's protection is his only hope. But Lucas isn't part of Bryn's pack, and she has no right to claim another alpha's Were. With threats—old and new—looming, and danger closing in from all sides, Bryn will have to accept what her guardian Callum knew all along. To be alpha, she will have to give in to her own animal instincts and become less human. And she's going to have to do it alone. Bryn faces both the costs, and the rewards of love and loyalty in this thrilling sequel to Raised by Wolves.

Tristan and Isolde: with Ulrich von Türheim's Continuation
by Gottfried von Strassburg"I believe this fluent, accurate, readable translation of Tristan and Isolde will become the standard English edition of Gottfried's literary masterpiece. Wisely choosing not to recreate the end rhyme of the original, Whobrey has created a text that stays true to the original Middle High German while rendering it into modern English prose. The inclusion of Ulrich von Türheim&’s Continuation is a great strength of this book. For the first time, English speakers will be able to read Gottfried's work in tandem with Ulrich's and explore—via Whobrey&’s discussion of Ulrich&’s sources—the rich Tristan literary tradition in the Middle Ages and the ways in which Gottfried&’s achievement resonated well after his death. The footnotes provide helpful cultural, historical, and interpretive information, and Whobrey's Introduction offers a nice overview of Gottfried&’s biography, a discussion of Gottfried's important literary excursus, his place within the literature and genres of his time, and the source material for his Tristan. Particularly useful is Whobrey&’s discussion of the intricate and masterful structure of Gottfried&’s text."—Scott Pincikowski, Hood College
Triumph: The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler's Olympics
by Jeremy SchaapThis New York Times–bestselling author&’s account of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin offers a &“vivid portrait not just of Owens but of &’30s Germany and America&” (Sports Illustrated). At the 1936 Olympics, against a backdrop of swastikas and goose-stepping storm troopers, an African American son of sharecroppers won a staggering four gold medals, single-handedly falsifying Hitler&’s myth of Aryan supremacy. The story of Jesse Owens at the Berlin games is that of an athletic performance that transcends sports. It is also the intimate and complex tale of one remarkable man&’s courage. Drawing on unprecedented access to the Owens family, previously unpublished interviews, and archival research, Jeremy Schaap transports us to Germany and tells the dramatic tale of Owens and his fellow athletes at the contest dubbed the Nazi Olympics. With incisive reporting and rich storytelling, Schaap reveals what really happened over those tense, exhilarating weeks in a &“snappy and dramatic&” work of sports history (Publishers Weekly). &“A remarkable job of tackling a complex subject and bringing it to life.&” —John Feinstein &“Add[s] even more luster to the indelibly heroic achievements of Jesse Owens.&” —Ken Burns
