Praise for Blackwing
“Blackwing quickly gained the rare distinction of being one of
those books that felt as if it had been written especially for
me...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.”—Anthony Ryan, New York
Times bestselling author of The Legion of Flame
“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 feel 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 Guns of
Empire
“Blackwing is potent, gritty, bloody, and splendid.”—Faith
Hunter, New York Timesbestselling author of Cold
Reign
“Vivid characters, visceral combat and a twist of an ending that I
really should have seen coming and didn’t...Suffice to say, I
bloody loved it and I am officially an Ed McDonald fan. He deserves
to go far.”—Elspeth Cooper, author of The Songs of Earth
“Gritty and immersive, Blackwing is a hugely enjoyable
tale.”—Edward Cox, author of The Watcher of Dead Time
