Third person narrative from multiple perspectives.

The Edge-is a world that is entirely unique existing between the Mortal world and the Weird-something like a faerie land but unique.

✥ Edge combines fantasy, adventure, romance, action, and a touch of mystery with strong characters and Andrews’ trademark humor to create an absorbing, satisfying read. It’s a place where poverty is real, life is hard, and fairy tales sometimes do come true.
