When Dawsyn is chosen as a human sacrifice for the winged Glacians who've oppressed her frozen people for generations, she expects death—but instead finds herself thrust into a dangerous world beyond the Ledge that challenges everything she thought she knew. Teaming up with Ryon, a half-Glacian warrior with his own reasons for wanting freedom, Dawsyn must navigate treacherous terrain, impossible choices, and a slow-burn connection that could either save them both or destroy everything. With gorgeous worldbuilding, morally complex characters, and stakes that keep escalating, this is a dark, gripping fantasy that will have you absolutely riveted from beginning to end.
Reading soundtrack
Ethereal yet intense—orchestral fantasy atmospheres blended with moody indie and dark alternative. Build from haunting, isolated soundscapes into smoldering tension. Think Hozier's raw emotion, FKA twigs' otherworldly production, and Hans Zimmer's epic grandeur. Cold, beautiful, dangerous.
