The eighth commandment; thou shalt not steal. But everyone covets something that isn't theirs... Wander down the darker paths of the minds of twelve brilliantly talented authors as they conjure stories of retribution, deceit and betrayal. Would you chance your family's fate to the gods in return for a favor? Are the finer things in life worth having once you know the cost someone else had to pay for you to indulge in them? Would you give up your most addictive passion so that others might reap the benefits, regardless of the reward? Or perhaps, the chance at a fresh start and a new life appeals to you? Are you prepared to reap what you have sown? Within this collection, you'll find tales all too believable and beyond your oddest imaginings. But there is one thing you will not find... In this anthology, there are no happy endings.
