A woman on the run. A crew of Viking mercenaries. A forbidden romance. And the secret that threatens them all.

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. But the queen's ruthless assassin has other plans and hunts Silla obsessively.

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

Featuring an immersive world blending fairy tales with Vikings, The Road of Bones leads you on an adrenaline-fueled chase with fun banter and a slow-building enemies-to-lovers romance. It is book one in the Ashen Series.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I thought the performances was fantastic and the story was engaging. I believe, however, there were abundance of chapters devoted descriptive love making. Which, in and of itself, is not a bad thing but too much of a good thing can be construed as boring after a while. The story is so good one wants to say get on with it.

This book is so good that I HAD to rate and review for the first time ever. I’ve DNF’d a few books lately because the story is just too predictable… but not this one! Yes, the beginning is a tad slow but ultimately so necessary to the world and story building. There are some fun plot twists that caught me by surprise which is sort of hard to do these days. The narrator did a great job and isn’t annoying. She sounds very similar to Lady Mary from Downton Abbey IMO. The 3rd person POV is really interesting and impactful but it takes a minute to get used to. Overall, super entertaining story with all sorts of jaw-droppers and I can’t wait for book 2!

Unique with wild plot twists!

I loved the story, and the performance was great as well. Wonderful voice and narration. Sometimes the narrator can make or break the entire story. This was perfect. Can’t wait for the next book.

Excellent story and performance

A unique and interesting story line that made me feel like I was traveling the worlds of Game of Thrones, Vikings and Lord of the Rings. Rich description and character development. I am thrilled to discover there is a book two because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Silla and Rey!

A fantastic book, great narration!

What an amazing story. Gripped from the very beginning. Great pacing, character development, setting (offering something new than what’s currently out there), and just the right amount of romance. The performance was spot on too. Honestly the only negative is that the second book isn’t out yet!

Wow just wow
