Praise for Ed McDonald: ''Dark, twisty and excellent'' - Mark Lawrence, bestselling author of Prince of Thorns '' 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. A remarkably assured fantasy debut that mixes of the inventiveness of China Mieville with the fast-paced heroics of David Gemmell'' - 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 potent, gritty, bloody, and splendid'' -Faith Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of Cold Reign ''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 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 ''This is an astonishingly accomplished debut - McDonald is definitely one to watch'' - Peter Mclean, author of Priest of Bones
