After being randomly selected as a human sacrifice, instead of death, Dawsyn finds herself on a quest to save her people from their icy prison...
---

In a place known as The Ledge, a civilization is trapped by a vast chasm and sheer mountain face. There is no way for anyone to escape the frozen wasteland without befalling a deathly drop. They know nothing of the outside world except that it is where The Glacians reside – mystical winged creatures who bring them meagre rations to survive, in exchange for a periodic human sacrifice. Dawsyn, axe wielder and only remaining member of her family, has so far avoided the annual culling, but her luck has run out. She is chosen and ripped from her icy home, the only world she knows. No one knows what will happen to her on the other side, least of all Dawsyn. Murdered? Enslaved? Worse?Thankfully, the fates align and Dawsyn manages to escape their clutches with the help of a half-Glacian called Ryon. But trust does not come easily, and she keeps a trained axe to his throat while they journey together down the slopes. But who’s to say that the life below will be any better than the one she has run from?

Why I Want To Read LEDGE:Aside from the gorgeous cover drawing my immediate attention when I saw it online, the book just sounds so interesting. Whenever I hear “isolated communities” and “sacrifices” I get reminded of The Village and lately A History of Wild Places. I love journeying with the main characters to uncover what lays beyond the tiny part of world they know and hopefully finding out they’ve been lied to. The fantasy elements also sound really intriguing! ***Will you be checking this book out? What upcoming releases are you looking forward to?
