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.

I liked how the romance wasn’t the main focus of the book but rather the protagonist’s character development throughout.

Loved this so much that I might immediately re-listen. it's beautifully written, the main character is lovely and relatable and the cast of memorable characters and descriptions really transport you to another world. Gritty, violent yet also funny. I cried in one partner, laughed in others and really enjoyed the romantic elements.

The magic feels an integral part of the society. Thr story kept going at a lovely pace. No saghing, boring middle, no padding, no plot holes, no little detail mentioned then forgotten later - so, very well structured and edited. It felt like a proper fairytale but for adults too. Loved the Nordic setting as well. I can't wait to read the next one.

One star off though for the narrators very strange pronunciation of certain words - if anyone watched The Windsors comedy show where the actors put on strange and unreal royal accents (that bear no relation to any known accent) the narrator reminded me of that. Aside from the odd ordinary word being pronounced in the most strange way (which took me out of the story each time) she did a really lovely job with the story and all the characters and capturing their emotions subtly through her voice.

Brilliant book
