In The Broken, people shop at Walmart, and magic only lives in fairy tales; in The Weird, aristocrats still rule and the strength of your magic controls your fate; and The Edge is the borderland where anything can happen...Charlotte de Ney is as noble as they come in the Weird. But despite her rare healing abilities, she was not able to conceive a child, or keep the husband who married her only for an heir. Hurt and betrayed, she's fled to the Edge, and turned her back on healing.Richard Mar is an incomparable swordsman and future head of his disreputable clan; but not until he's decimated the slave trade that nearly destroyed his niece. Their unlikely paths cross when slavers chase the severely wounded Richard into the Edge...and into Charlotte's healing hands. And when his dangerous enemies follow him, killing a dear friend of Charlotte's, the two must join forces to defeat them; yet even joining their strengths together may not be enough to save them – or those they love.
