This was a short, entertaining read. I don't know that I'd classify it as erotic but it is a steamy fantasy story. Dardanus is definitely an anti-hero and not exactly likeable in the beginning. Because of the short length of this story, it's hard to say much without giving away spoilers, but The Knife's Edge is a sensual read about Queen Nestra and Dardanus. While many in the kingdom seem to consider the Queen fragile and not deserving of the throne (Dardanus is one of those people at first), she's a woman looking to give up control in the bedroom, trust someone for once and have someone see her for herself and not her title. Even though the entire story is told from Dardanus' point of view, all that came across clearly which I think says a lot about Ms. Draven's storytelling ability. I was completely engrossed in this story and if this is an example of her writing, I will definitely be looking for more by her.
