Heroes are born in the unlikeliest of hearts. Freya Haraldsdottir, a skilled huntress, and Ivar Torfinnson, a reluctant dragonslayer, never asked for their destinies. After vanquishing the dragon terrorizing their village, they longed to escape the burden of heroism and to seek solace in a peaceful life together. But fate had other plans. Vicious forces, led by the malevolent sorcerer Skulder of the Cult of Loki, seek to claim Ivar's magical Dragon's Bane Sword and unleash the spirit of the monster Grendel from the depths of Helheim. A relentless army razes their village, leaving Ivar, Freya, and the shattered survivors no choice but to flee to the treacherous ice mountains. Plagued by self-doubt, yet compelled to fight, Ivar and Freya set forth on a quest for aid. They seek the guidance of the wise High Priest of Thor and the stalwart Haldor, commander of the Huscarls. Together, they rally the Dvergen Dwarves, the ethereal Ljosalfar Light Elves, the indomitable Viking leader Erik the Red, and the legendary Jomsviking commander, Harald Hardrada. United against Skulder's dark forces, they make their stand within the fortified walls of a castle. And as they defend their sanctuary from Skulder's unholy enchantments and the Army of Loki, the reluctant heroes embark on a perilous journey into the realm of the dead. Their mission: to penetrate Skulder's fortress, confront the sorcerer, and prevent the resurrection of Grendel's body. In the crucible of adversity, Ivar and Freya discover that true heroism is not just about being the strongest or the bravest. It is about having the courage to face your own fears, to rely on your allies, and to fight for what is right.

"This is the first communique from the 99 percent. We are occupying Wall Street." With those words, the Occupy Wall Street movement announced its presence to the world. Within just four weeks, the Occupy movement spread across the country and around the globe, and drastically changed the terms of political debate in the US. OWS is the first mass movement to appear in the US during the Internet age. Technically savvy, the Occupiers posted events as they happened, on the Web, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, livestreams, blogs, and other online resources. There were gripping accounts of being in the center of police actions in Boston and New York. There were hopeful pleas for social change. There were energetic calls to action. There were thoughtful descriptions of a new way of political organizing that had never been seen before in the US, revolving around words like "General Assemblies" and "consensus" and "Working Groups". OWS was not only making history--it was writing it as well. This is the story of Occupy Wall Street, in its own words. All proceeds from this book are being donated to the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

A critique of authoritarian Leninism from the viewpoint of "council communism". Social revolutionaries must reject the failed leninist model as being unsuited to the social conditions existing in the industrialized nations.

That is the essence of the Worker's Council.
