Once, there was a war against black magic in a Kingdom facing a civil strife. Rebels gathered to fight, provoked by a corrupt ruler. When the oppression ended, a hero left behind a legacy. Years later, history repeats itself when a King dies. Having no relatives, a former disciple of the King’s, claims to be the successor. His rivals were outraged by the outcome. So once again, the civil war broke out. When warriors discover the secrets behind the war, their struggles peaked. Their enemies become overwhelming with the use of sorcery. Wizards offer their services as mercenaries in the conflict. However, what worsened the situation was a corrupt legacy. There were eleven ancient magic swords that chose its wielders. Each one had a unique ability, but all are instruments of destruction. One warrior found a sword that can reflect magic. It was made to destroy the ancient swords. Cornered by sorcery, how will he level the playing field with all that he had?

"Takes dead aim at the conservative economic consensus that has dominated U.S. politics . . . Biting and necessary."—The American Prospect In this provocative, witty, and revealing polemic, Daniel Brook's The Trap argues that the exploding income gap—a product of the conservative ascendance—is systematically dismantling the American dream, as debt-laden, well-educated young people are torn between their passions and the pressure to earn six-figure incomes. Rising education, housing, and health-care costs have made it virtually impossible for all but the corporate elite to enjoy what were once considered middle-class comforts. Thousands are afflicted with a wrenching choice: take up residence on America's financial and social margins or sell out. And it's not just impoverished teachers and social workers, struggling to pay their rent, who are hurt. From the activist who works to give others a living wage but isn't paid one himself, to the universal health-care advocate who becomes a management consultant for Big Pharma, Brook presents a damning indictment of the economic and political landscape that traps young Americans. When the best and the brightest cannot afford to serve the public good, Brook asks, what are we selling out: an individual's career, or the very promise of American democracy?
