Walking the Knife's Edge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645463392)

It's hard to focus on your studies when your dad's an abusive prick, you're from the wrong side of town, and classmates are intimidated by your skills at hand to hand combat. But for Rarkin, Sythe School means the chance to contain monsters that stray into human occupied zones, and the opportunity to do something meaningful with his life. Bonus; it gets him an Electric Way pass beyond city limits.​

Rarkin seizes his chance at his dream job with everything he's got, forcing down traumatic memories to focus on work he could love. But it's a dangerous time to be holding everything in, to have little contact with friends like brothers, or to be keeping new friends at arm's length.

Sythe's nemesis, Organised Crime is no longer playing by the 'rules.' Rarkin and his classmates are on the front line, where bold new tactics tear at the bandages of Rarkin's unhealed wounds and his untreated CPTSD.

To be the person Rarkin doesn't believe people who tell him he could be, he must change his toxically masculine approach to emotions, and break the cycle of violence in his family. If he doesn't make peace with his past and stop fighting EVERYTHING, he's on the road to self destruction.

In working for Sythe; Rarkin is Walking the Knife's Edge.
