Women Around The Edge

By Neil Edwin Fountaine

Women On The Edge began as a story about survival, but it became a story about power, who controls it, who is protected by it, and what happens when people who are treated as disposable decide they are no longer willing to disappear quietly.
The women in this novel are not superheroes, nor are they perfect victims. They are survivors carrying fear, anger, shame, and the difficult reality of rebuilding themselves after trust and safety have been shattered. Some heal. Some harden. Most do both.
The Shadow Perimeter grew from that idea, not as a fantasy of revenge, but as a refusal to remain silent. The women in these pages understand something dangerous: powerful people rarely fear pain. They fear exposure. They fear losing control. They fear watching the systems that protected them begin to collapse from within.
Berrie Murkel's journey is intentionally dark because trauma rarely leaves people untouched. It changes identity, memory, intimacy, and the way the world is seen afterward.
If this novel says anything, I hope it says this: No amount of wealth, status, or influence should place anyone beyond accountability.
And no person thrown away should ever believe they are alone.
