ย ย ย ย Robert is Xanโs half-brother, and unlike Xan, Robert seems to have his life together. At eighteen, heโs enrolled in community college with a decent job and a great girlfriend. Robert often teases his brother, but heโs also his biggest supporter. No matter what, heโs got Xanโs back.
ย ย ย ย When Robert starts to suspect that Xan is traveling down a dangerous path, he may be the only one who can save Xan from self-destructingโbefore itโs too late. But can Robert save himself?
ย ย ย ย This edgy exploration of what goes on in the mind of someone pushed to the brink examines the seeds of extremism that exist in everyoneโand is sure to captivate readers of all kinds.
