Praise for Crowfall
“This series has been truly magnificent from start to finish, and I
am grateful for it.”— Peter McClean, author of Priest of
Bones
Praise for Ravencry:
"Gripping fantastical drama…McDonald continues to build on
the strengths that made Blackwing compelling: tense and violent
action, genuinely disturbing settings and creatures, and bursts of
morbid humor."—Publishers Weekly
“In Ravencry, McDonald has crafted a desolate world brimming
with creativity and dark fantasy that tests the boundaries of faith
and belief.”—Fantasy Book Review
“To say that Ravencry is a triumph would be to do it an injustice…
Ed McDonald can't help but have you fall in love with the
characters and get emotionally invested, only to see them tested in
the most violent and torturous of ways.”—Out Of This World
Praise for Blackwing:
"Ed McDonald handles the action with a deft hand and has created a
compelling central character who remains likeable despite a lengthy
list of flaws. A remarkably assured fantasy debut that mixes the
inventiveness of China Miéville with the fast-paced heroics of
David Gemmell."--Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of
The Empire of Ashes
"Original world-building and unforgettable characters make
Blackwing a dark, powerful debut."--Brian Staveley, author of
Skullsworn
"Blackwing is a bloody, gritty fantasy novel that manages not to
sacrifice its heart. I love the world, which feels strange
and lived-in, and the strength of the voice is fantastic.
Fans of Glen Cook's The Black Company or Joe Abercrombie's The
First Law series will be very happy with this one."--Django Wexler,
author of The Infernal Battalion
