About this listen
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.

Story
Isolation, darkness, and rotting flesh surround me, suffocate me, but I am the vile ruler who controls it all. I long for warmth, yet all that I touch is cold. Then, she stumbles in to my domain, lost and frightened, alone and confused. And I terrify her even more. She calls me the devil, so I show her pleasure, like only the devil can. I am the heat that stirs her flesh, the longing that trembles her bone. She begs her body to refuse, to escape my embrace, but I am her master, the puppeteer of passion. I am the King of Flesh and Bone. Welcome to my court, little one.

Story
Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

What a winding, twisting road
I loved this story. Silla is so likable, yet so human, and an incredibly nuanced female character. The rest of the cast of characters is diverse, yet always relatable, and so well written! I can’t wait for the second instalment to get to audiobooks, but would love to see this one done in a dramatic rendering, even though the narration is excellent. I do appreciate her “man voice”, and all the diffferent voices she gives the female characters. I’m not usually a Viking story fan, but this pulled me in ❤️

A true romance fantasy
Absolutely loved this book, and I don’t like Viking stuff 😅 but here I am. Great performance, could not stop listening, I could easily picture the places and felt I knew the characters. I loved how the romance was done in this book. I totally recommend!

Absolutely Fantastic!
This is the first time I haven’t been able to put down an audiobook since the Empire of Gold! It was so well narrated and so well written.
*SPOILER*
I really appreciate how it so accurately depicted an abusive relationship, where an older man takes advantage of a younger, inexperienced, vulnerable woman. Not that I loved that part of the story of course, the character was despicable for what he did, but I almost feel that the author is writing from experience, I could feel myself getting nervous, it was so accurately depicted. And for a fantasy, it is grounded in realistic and flawed characters. It’s like if ACOTAR was written with better, more human characters. I’ve already preordered the next book, it was fantastic!

Loved it
I laughed, cried and kicked my feet! The Road of Bones kept me engaged at every turn and left me wanting more of Silla, the Bloodaxe crew and the kingdom of Iseldur. Great narration

Immersive exciting fantasy!
What’s not to love? The narrator was excellent, I really enjoyed listening to her voice. The story and world building were fantastic. This world and story blows SJM out of the water.
