From back cover: Vengeance is a theme that runs through some of the world's most memorable literature--and thoughts of revenge have most likely crossed everyone's mind at some time or another. But what if it was actually within your power to get even with the people who had snubbed you, with someone who'd used dirty tricks to get a job that should have been yours, or someone who had sullied your reputation, or been unfaithful to you?
What if you thought you could right much larger wrongs done by an enemy of humanity itself? Would you do it? Just what would you be ready to do? And would you be willing to pay whatever price gaining that vengeance required?
These are some of the questions answered and challenges taken by the seventeen highly creative talents included in this volume. From a young woman who would betray her own faith to save her people from marauding Vikings . . . to a goddess willing to pull down the very heavens to bring justice to a god . . . to a deal struck between Adam and Eve and Lucifer himself . . . to a 'woman' who must decide how to rework the threads of life.
Here are spellbinding tales that will strike a chord with every reader. But remember, vengeance is only sweet if you don't get caught!
