Fourteen-year-old Blade has been on the run most of his life. A girl from his past gave him his name because he was so good with a knife. Too good. Now she's gone, and he'd just as soon leave all that behind him, including his name. But he's been followed to this new city where he's been "playing dead" so no one can find him. This works for a while, until he meets people he comes to care about, only to watch them slip into his past, too.
