On the Ledge, a narrow human settlement trapped between a sheer mountain face and an icy chasm, life is survival and nothing else. The Glacians � winged, inhuman beings on the other side � regularly descend to take humans for reasons the Ledge-dwellers have never understood. When Dawsyn Sabar is chosen as a sacrifice and instead finds herself cast off the Ledge, she survives � barely � and discovers a world she never knew existed beyond her icy prison.

Dawsyn is all razor edges and barely-contained rage � a woman who survived the Ledge by refusing to be soft, only to discover that her capacity for fury and her capacity for love come from the same fierce source. Her first-person narration is sharp and dark-humored, making her one of the more memorable debut protagonists in recent romantasy.

The trilogy follows Dawsyn's journey from hardened survivor to reluctant revolutionary as she and Ryon, a half-Glacian with his own loyalties and secrets, navigate the dangerous politics of Glacia to free the people of the Ledge. Themes of systemic oppression, identity, and the cost of dismantling a world built on exploitation drive a romance forged in mutual respect between two people who have every reason to distrust each other.
