Rose is a mind-reading mercenary hired to track down and kill the perpetrators of unsolved murders in and around Edinburgh. Vampires and werewolves stalk the city's pubs and clubs, taking victims and getting away with it. After all, they can eat the evidence. The city’s only protection is Rose, with her ability to communicate with the dead and the city’s other supernatural predators. She's the last resort for the desperate, but the work is making her more of a threat to the city than the monsters she hunts. This time she’s battling a shadowy organization named Carnalis and the ancient evil it has awakened – a vast power bent on destroying the city that gave it birth. Rose and her supernatural allies are the last line of defense... and time is running out.

The Man may mean different things to different people: society, the government, a parent, a boss, a significant other, a shady organization that only controls a subset of a group or society, men in general, women in general. The Man makes the rules, and those rules exist to keep us in line. To make society run smooth and stop us from regressing back to the wild animals that lurk within us. But what happens when we break the rules? What happens when we buck against The Man and his machine that we're slaves to?F*ck the Rules features rule-bending stories from writing masters such as Guy N. Smith, Richard Chizmar, Adam Millard, Antonio Simon, Jr., Suzanne Fox, and more. Find out what happens when you throw your middle fingers up and defy those who hold you down.
