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...
Audrey Callahan has a unique talent: no door is closed to her; and – thanks to her Edge family, a motley crew of grifters and layabouts – she's a consummate conwoman. But she's severed all ties with her past, finally gotten a legitimate job in The Broken, and Audrey couldn’t be happier. But now her dad has swindled her into one last job...
What do you get when you take the best thief, grifter and gambler make him into a secret agent? You get Kaldar Mar. Judge Dobe probably put it best, “I guess you’re familiar with the law. You hit it over the head, set its house on fire, and got its sister pregnant.” Deeply scarred by his aunt’s death, Kaldar has some scores to settle – and his new assignment might let him do just that. A priceless object has been stolen and Kaldar must retrieve it at any cost. Piece of cake…until Audrey shows up after the same item.
So what happens when a former thief finds herself matching wits with a jack of all trades? One thing is certain: Neither one will ever be the same.

I’m taking part in the 2025 Read-Along for The Edge series & Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews hosted by Books of My Heart.
Fate’s Edge is a re-listen for me. My original thoughts still apply. The audiobook is an excellent listen. I enjoy Renée Raudman narration.

Love the world! Love the characters!
Werther you are following along in order or you have never read any of the books in this series, you will not miss a thing and never be lost. I enjoy the writing team of Ilona Andrews. They know how to bring a world to life with such amazing descriptions. I feel like I am being taking away into The Edge for the first time. We are pulled right back into The Edge on a fun filled adventure. From the first page to the last you will be hanging onto your seat.
Fate’s Edge is book three in The Edge series. This is Kaldar Mar’s story. Kaldar is always looking for the next adventure and the next con. He’s what we would call a smooth criminal. He will not hesitate to use his charisma and good looks to get what he wants. He has become a member of the Mirror, to gain the means to seek revenge, but he never expect to run across a women who will change his life. I enjoyed Kaldar and his smooth ways as well as his magical skill.
Audrey is a very fascinating women. Her family are grifters, thieves, and always looking for the next big score. She is very aware of the consequences of that type of life and has tried to make an honest life for herself, but one visit from her father will change all of this, putting her life in danger and putting a man in her path that will change everything. I liked Audrey, she is strong, understands the life of a grifter and has a very unique magical skill.
I relished the con storyline! It’s smart, interesting and created a perfect pathway for the hero and heroine to fall in love. Audrey and Kaldar complemented each other, kept each other on their toes, and built a compatible relationship. They are very similar and so in tune with one another that working as a team was a dream.
The kids, Jack and George, were great additions to this book. We get to see them grow up more. They added humor, heart, and made what was once a bunch of misfits, a team. They also added a great presence in this story that I thoroughly adored.
If you’re a fan of urban fantasy romance, then make sure you check out The Edge series. We get a delightful adventure, slick hero’s, and happy endings.
