What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“I fell in love with the fierce and clever main character, Dawsyn, and I can’t wait to follow her on the rest of her journey.”

Editorial Reviews

06/01/2023

Dawsyn Sabar has survived leading a coup over the Glacians, who picked off villagers as human sacrifices, only to find that her love with Ryon was a lie and her quest to free the people of the Ledge has only begun. After Ryon's betrayal and death, a devastated Dawsyn resigns herself to execution by the Queens. Dawsyn is not the only one who feels betrayed by the Queens, however, and finds an unlikely ally in the guard. On the run, the mage Baltisse finds and assists Dawsyn in her quest to free her people, as well as with Dawsyn's newfound powers from the iskra pool. The second book in this trilogy draws out relationships that were introduced in Ledge, making it slightly less action-packed than its predecessor, but McEwan's worldbuilding is just as fantastic as in the first book, with the unique magic system of the iskra viewed from a different angle through Dawsyn's use. VERDICT Fans of the first book will enjoy this second adventurous fantasy novel with some romance.—Jen Funk

"McEwan’s worldbuilding is just as fantastic as in the first book."

– Vanessa Len, author of Only a Monster


PRAISE FOR LEDGE

“A gritty fantasy of betrayal and vengeance set against a clever bit of worldbuilding… Readers looking for a bloody Kill Bill fairy tale (and not a “Beauty and the Beast” charmer) will be more than satisfied.”
– Publishers Weekly

“The Maas mob will devour this trilogy. Ledge reads like Laini Taylor’s lore set in Leigh Bardugo’s Fjerda, penned with Katherine Arden’s prose. The narrative pacing, playfulness, and deliverance will delight fans of Ilona Andrews’ Innkeeper Chronicles and Holly Black’s The Folk of the Air.”
– Angela Armstrong, author of The Unflinching Ash

“This is a stunning debut from Stacey McEwan! Set in a dramatic and deadly world of ice and snow, Ledge is a steamy and thrilling fantasy with heart-pounding action and breath-taking twists. I fell in love with the fierce and clever main character, Dawsyn, and I can’t wait to follow her on the rest of her journey.”
– Vanessa Len, author of Only a Monster

“Despite the icy setting, Ledge is a sizzling story filled with sexual tension, betrayal, and stolen heritage and a series to watch out for.”
– British Fantasy Society

“McEwan, a popular figure on BookTok, has written an ambitious fantasy debut. The plot and worldbuilding are thoroughly fleshed out and make this novel a great start to the Glacian Trilogy.”
– Library Journal

“A bold and gutsy epic fantasy debut… Lusty at times even rollicking, with formidable fighting, pops of powerful healing magic, and a heroic plot, Ledge will appeal to those seeking new adult romantic fantasy.”
– LoveReading

“This book is immediately gripping. I was invested every step of the way, and loved the visceral world of the ledge. The cold might not be alive, but these characters definitely jump off the page, and the enemies to lovers romance hit all the right spots. Stacey’s debut novel is a triumph for all fantasy lovers, and I can’t wait to see where this series goes!”
—Raven Kennedy, author of The Plated Prisoner series

“The Bridgerton crowd will love it. But so too will the Buffy crowd… The heroes are compelling, rugged but likeable, and there’s a confident immediacy to the present-tense prose.”
– SFX Magazine
