The War Wolf
Summary
The War Wolf opens in January 1066 when Eorl Harold Godwinson of Wessex takes the crown from the dying king of England. He is not alone in his ambition, however. Across the sea, the duke of Normandy gathers an army. An invasion follows, but it is not in the South of England where the conqueror sets foot, but in Northumbria. King Harald Haradrada of Norway lands the largest Viking army ever seen in Britain, and with his ally, Tostig Godwinson, the exiled brother of King Harold of England, steals the initiative by attacking York. The young brothers, Eorl Edwin of Mercia and Eorl Morcar of Northumbria, see a chance to eclipse the mighty Godwins in battle by meeting the Vikings at Fulford Gate. Coenred, their captain of Huscarls, counsels otherwise. His warrior's wisdom tells him to bar the gates of York and man the walls with their Saxon army, but Edwin and Morcar cannot resist the lure of glory. As the two great armies move onto the field at Fulford Gate, other characters pursue their dreams and desires, almost to spite the fate that is about to befall them. Mildryth looks for a protector in the face of the return of her husband's murderer, but her encounter with a noble heart inspires her to love again. Cruel is fate that inspires her to give her love to a foremost warrior, a man likely to stand before the spears of their enemies. The fateful decision to fight sets in motion a series of events that will threaten the world of the Saxons, beginning with the Battle of Fulford Gate. Coenred must obey his lords, but his thoughts have already turned to the beautiful Mildryth; can he rise to be the best of warriors and survive an epic clash, sword to sword, with the War Wolf himself?

People Born In August
Summary
Did you know that those people, who were born on August 10th of leap years or August 11th of common years are not just "legislators", who consider themselves ready and even obligated to order the whole world according to their own laws and "make weather" in any collective, but also strive only for one thing - to usurp the initiative in society and become masters of the largest possible public space? Or, for example, did you know that those people, who were born on August 20th of leap years or August 21st of common years not only look like Buddhist deities, always smiling, cheerful and benevolent, but also are so life-loving that they can turn even a funeral into a party with jokes and (after eating and drinking well) have some passionate alone time with one of the guests? Hence the question: are you sure that you know people, whom you think you know as your own self? Yes, of course, you know them, if we take wordplay into account. You really do know them, like you know yourself - that is: just as bad! You know your own and other people's masks and roles, but that is all. You do not believe this? Then, open this book and see for yourself! This book is for those people, who are fed up with "horoscopism", who are tired of listening to nonsense about themselves and other people from psychologists or their "all-knowing" relatives, friends, and acquaintances. It will help you save not just some time in your life, but your whole life because otherwise you will spend your entire life on something that is a priori impossible. And, it is impossible not because you are idiots, but because Homo sapiens cannot fully know themselves and other people without an external (and, most importantly, objective) source. Perhaps that is the reason why humanity was left "factory instructions" to each one of us - the Catalog of Human Population. Yes, that is right! There exists the Catalog of Human Population!
