Verge - Nadia Attia

In a divided land, the shadow of death draws closer...

Rowena has always been a rebel; foul-mouthed, light-fingered, the last to leave a party. Unfortunately, she's also cursed - marked by Death since birth. When Rowena's boyfriend and father die in quick succession, her mother sends her north to her gran, the one healer strong enough to lift the curse before her eighteenth birthday. 

The fiercely independent Halim is employed to deliver Rowena there safely, but he has a problem of his own. Estranged from his wealthy Egyptian family, he's only a few payments away from owning his truck, yet every gun-patrolled hard county border they cross poses a threat to his future, as do Rowena's dark visions. 

The land has turned treacherous; a disunited kingdom where sinister folk marry old ways with reawakened prejudices. Can Rowena and Halim overcome their differences and forge and alliance in order to survive.
