“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 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
"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
"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
"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
"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."
