Or so they thought. For as long as seventeen-year-old apothecary Rose Allgood can remember, the towering stone Wall surrounding Noah’s Valley has protected her people. No one leaves. No one fights. And no one questions why. But their paradise has been hiding its thorns. When Rose’s mother becomes the Valley’s first murder victim and her twin brother is swiftly condemned, she alone is searching for the real killer. Determined to find the truth, she follows a trail of hidden messages, forbidden knowledge, and whispers of a past no one dares to remember. The deeper she digs, the more certain Rose becomes that her mother’s death was no accident. That the Wall isn’t just keeping something out. It’s keeping something in. Fans of The Hunger Games, The Grace Year, and The Maze Runner will devour The Verdant Cage—a chilling dystopian thriller about what it takes to rebel when you discover your entire world is a lie. Image Storm Breaker by Nisha J. Tuli From the publisher who brought you Fourth Wing comes your next romantasy obsession... For nineteen-year-old Poet Graves, New Manhattan has always promised safety—if she obeys. Raised within the ruling Houses and betrothed to a powerful heir, she enters Amery Academy knowing her future has already been decided. But Amery is nothing like she imagined. Its trials are brutal, its loyalties conditional, and its rules designed to expose weakness. As Poet struggles to survive, she must hide the truth that could get her executed: the storms don’t fear her—they answer back. When a dangerous outsider from beyond the city walls enters the academy, Poet is drawn to him despite everything she’s been taught to believe. He threatens the life she’s been promised. And choosing him could cost her not just her future, but her freedom. A gripping dystopian romance filled with forbidden power, ruthless challenges, and a heroine who refuses to burn quietly—perfect for fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games. Nisha J. Tuli is a USA Today and international bestselling romance author who loves writing slow burns and plenty of yearning. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found in the gym or the kitchen (to eat, not to cook) or maybe knitting scarves to survive a Canadian winter. She lives in Manitoba with her husband, their two kids, and their fluffy Samoyed.

Patterson provides a much-needed corrective to most of what has been written about Huey Long. Patterson takes seriously the Kingfish’s own words and shows Long to be less of a manipulative, power-hungry, end-justify-the-means demagogue and more of a politician driven by a real concern for those who lacked power and the creator of a viable alternative politics for his time.”—Michael S. Martin, author of Russell Long: A Life in Politics “Patterson’s American Populist is a fresh and intriguing biography of Louisiana’s most consequential political leader. The author’s exhaustive examination of Huey Long’s life and career will be contro- versial, but his appraisal of the Kingfish is worthy of our consideration.”—Robert Mann, author of Kingfish U: Huey Long and LSU Thomas E. Patterson’s monumental biography of Huey Long is a profound reevaluation of his life and legacy, recognizing him as an inspirational progressive thinker, populist hero, and radical influence on the New Deal before an assassin’s bullet ended his life in 1935. First as governor and then as U.S. senator, Long transformed the politics of Louisi- ana by standing for the interests of citizens whom state officials had historically ignored. He eased suffrage restrictions so that more people could vote, and voters endorsed his program of more robust government services and shifting the tax burden to those better able to pay. In the United States Senate, during the darkest days of the Great Depression, he advocated loudly and ceaselessly for the redistribution of wealth, expanding public works, increasing the money supply, insuring bank deposits, paying old-age pensions and veterans’ benefits, delivering a minimum income for families, and funding college and vocational education. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, along with other politicians and pundits, dismissed Long’s proposals as nonsense put forth by a reckless demagogue in search of votes. Despite several biographies, acclaimed novels, and historical studies in the years since Long’s death, his reputation today is mostly caricature: a spellbinding speaker, a dictator, a populist firebrand who was unprincipled and corrupt. Using previously untapped personal papers of Long and his son Russell, other primary sources, recent scholarship, and his ex- perience as a lawyer, Patterson provides a necessary corrective as he analyzes the contours of Long’s career, deconstructs the elements of his success, undercuts several myths related to his time in office, and explains the circumstances that led to his ultimate downfall. The result is the most comprehensive, balanced, and analytical study of the Kingfish to date. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Image Thomas E. Patterson is a lawyer in Chicago, where he practiced as a Law Clerk for an Illinois Supreme Court Judge, as a partner in one of the largest law firms there, and then founded the Patterson Law Firm in 2000. In 2009, Patterson wrote a 600-page book for lawyers: Handling the Business Emergency: Temporary Restraining Orders and Preliminary Injunctions, peer-reviewed and published by the American Bar Association. Having read Robert Penn Warren’s book, All the King’s Men, and T. Harry Williams’s biography of Huey Long in 1970, he kept abreast of later biographies and other studies that disagreed with Williams or thought that Long was a nostalgic politician in the twilight of a losing struggle to regain an economy that had disappeared. In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008-09 and Thomas Piketty’s book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2014), it became apparent that Long’s advocacy of increased taxes on the wealthy had been resurrected or resuscitated. Even without these events, Long is a fascinating character. He inspired at least six novels, several movies based on those novels, two nonfiction movies, a play, an opera, and a Ken Burns documentary. Yet most of his personal papers and none of the papers of his son, U.S. Senator Russell Long, had been tapped by prior writers. Using these and other primary sources, recent scholarship, and his experience as a lawyer, Patterson has resolved disputes among historians, added previously unknown facts, destroyed several myths, and provided a fresh new perspective—warts and all--on the Kingfish. In 2022, Patterson’s article, “Mastering the Senate Maze: Mr. Long Goes to Washington,” Louisiana History 63, No. 3 (2022):321-72, reconsidered Long’s first four months in the US Senate, concluding—contrary to all prior writers—that Long was a responsible advocate for progressive tax policies and willing to take considerable risks to advance them. The book is timely, given the resurgence of populism around the globe, the ethical questions related to obtaining and using power, the concern about increasing inequality, and the process of change in a democracy. The book, in short, considers the intersections of power, populism, and the American political landscape, past, present, and future.
