Resumen del Editor

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.

Interesting world building excellent narrator

The narration is perfect. Overall plot is slightly predictable and reminiscent of others in the genre but the world building, location and characters are interesting and unique. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Outstanding narrator, great story

Narrator made an already great book even better. Did not want to put it down!

I really loved this!!

I’m a sucker for any good romantasy adventure, especially with a Viking twist. But this story blew my expectations out of the water! Beautifully written with rich world building that was easy to follow, I just couldn’t stop listening! I know some people may hate on the FMC, but I thought it was refreshing to have a female lead who isn’t a snarky, sarcastic trained killer. Silla is kind and generous and a survivor, which I believe is a different kind of strength. I can’t believe I have to wait for the next book, I wish I could start it right away!

The character development

Loved the slow burn between the love interest and main character arch. Couldn’t stop listening.

Fantastic!!!! 1000/10

I really enjoyed this book! The narrator was fantastic as well! Cannot wait to read the sequel!

Amazing!!

I’ve been in a slump trying to find something that keeps my interest and satisfies my romantasy obsession after finishing everything SJM and this hit the spot. Highly recommend and eagerly awaiting the next book!!!

Has it All!

I loved this book. It has everything, great world building, spice, solid flawed characters, and worthy villains. so much fun!

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.

Intriguing story

Loved this book from
Beginning to end. So much discovery and growth. Magic, betrayal, lust, and so much more.

Not what I expected and liked it more for that reason

First off the narrator did a fantastic job. I’m glad I got the audio since there was a little section that was slow early on that may have made me put it down. Thankfully that didn’t happen. The story was full of twists that I wasn’t expecting and some that were hinted at. Let’s just say the love interest isn’t what it appears to be and book two will be a fun read.
