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?

I am known for being a bit of a thrill seeker. I’m the person you go to when you want to try something crazy. Jump out of a plane? Been there, done that (would do it again). I love the adrenaline rush and the unpredictability of what could happen from one moment to the next. So, naturally, I’m drawn to books that are exciting and keep me on my toes. Enter: The Road of Bones, a story filled with adventure, epic battles, and terrifying creatures. As a person who lives for the thrill, I was in my element.

After her father is brutally murdered, Silla Nordvig embarks on a journey on the Road of Bones to fulfill her father’s dying wish: that she makes it to Kopa where she will be safe. It sounds like a simple task, but the Road of Bones is known for being a perilous journey even for the most seasoned warriors. And to make matters trickier? Silla is also trying to outrun an assassin sent by the same person who is responsible for her father’s death. To make it safely to Kopa, Silla will have to enlist the help of a crew of mercenaries if she hopes to make it to the end of the road alive.

The Road of Bones is unputdownable—with its action-packed scenes and lovable characters, this book will take you on an adventure you won’t want to see end. I guarantee that you will be on the edge of your seat the whole book wondering if Silla will survive her dangerous journey.
