Publisher Description

In this epic and immersive Viking-inspired romantic fantasy, a woman fleeing a ruthless assassin accidentally joins forces with agroup of thieves and must use all her cunning to escape with her life—and heart—intact.

Silla Nordvig is running for her life.

The Queen of Íseldur has sent warriors to bring Silla to Sunnavík, where death awaits her. When her father is killed, his last words set Silla on a perilous quest: travel the treacherous Road of Bones—a thousand-mile stretch haunted by warbands, creatures of darkness, and a mysterious murderer—and go to Kopa, where a shield-house awaits her.

After barely surviving the first stretch of road, a desperate Silla sneaks into a supply wagon belonging to the notorious Bloodaxe Crew. To make it to Kopa, she must win over Axe Eyes, the brooding leader of the Crew, while avoiding the Wolf, his distractingly handsome right-hand man. All the while, the queen's ruthless assassin hunts Silla obsessively.

Will Silla make it safely to Kopa? Or will she fall prey to the perils of the Road of Bones?

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“What an absolutely amazing adventure! There was magic, secrets, despair & fear. There was non stop adventure and action that keeps you on the edge of your seat. There was found family, chaos, secrets & betrayals. I loved Silla’s character, she was caring and kind, she was so real. She was filled was compassion and also warred with herself for partial truths, and necessary deceit. She was soft, and gentle, but didn’t shy away from learning everything she could from the Bloodaxe Crew. I love that they all brought her into their crew, even though she was exactly their opposite, they gave her safety and security & taught her to defend herself. There was such an amazing crew of characters, they all had their own unique stories and pasts. They have all had to overcome different situations that brought them into the Bloodaxe Crew. There was adrenaline, fear, passion, frustration, fear, family, and chaos.”
“Soundtrack: mostly Bjorth, Danheim, Wardruna An enjoyable diversion about the most unlucky lucky woman ever pretty much. I'm a sucker for adventure-on-the-road quest stories and while this never screamed Viking to me it was a nice grumpy/sunshine trope that has an ACOTAR feel. It does start out a little clunky (Axe Eyes?) but it's well worth sticking with as Silla finds her footing so does the book. I haven't decided if I'll read the sequel but I do like the characters which are diverse, representive, and have their own stories to tell.”
Anxious Face with sweat“So unexpectedly good! Had no idea what this book was really about before starting it. Loved the characters, the storyline, the atmosphere - all of it! I cried with the plot twist of Jonas and Silla and then of course the incident with Ilias! Can’t wait for the next book now!!”
