Publisher's summary

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.

Slow start but picks up into something great

Keep going if you feel it’s going slow! I promise it will be worth it. I’m pretty good at catching the twists before they happen and this one had me all the way til the end. Highly recommend.

A really good story

Secrets, lovers, hidden magic, and more. Struggles with addiction and having support to overcome them was unique part of this story. This was a fun story. Looking forward to continuing with the next book in the series.

I love the Banter!!

This is a great book. I purchased this because I had 2-12 hour drives I needed to fill or at least rotate with another book. This book did NOT disappoint.
The main character was hard to like at first and you really start to think she’s crazy, but it ALL starts to make sense and the pieces start falling together wonderfully. I can’t wait until July 9th… I need book 2 sooner! <3

Great story took awhile sometimes

Loved it. Did draw out at times but still a very good book. Great story line and I hope the second book has more action and develops the plot more. The second half is best.

So so good!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Despite an initially slow and intricate start in its world-building, and a moment where the introduction of gruesome murders almost deterred me, I am delighted that I persisted. These elements, while initially concerning, did not dominate the narrative and did not detract from its overall appeal. The book proved to be a rewarding experience, compelling me to eagerly anticipate the forthcoming installment and solidifying my admiration for the author.
