Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

Arwen Valondale never expected to be the brave one, offering her life to save her brother’s. Now she’s been taken prisoner by the most dangerous kingdom on the continent, and made to use her rare magical abilities to heal the soldiers of the vicious Onyx King.

Unfortunately, he’s as infuriating as he is cunning—and seems to take twisted pleasure in playing on Arwen’s deepest fears.

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.

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 ❤️

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!

Wonderful story!
I quite enjoyed this book! It always had me narrowing my eyes at little things mentioned and wondering what was going to happen with that later, the author does a great job at planting seeds in your mind!
The characters are what makes the story, they each have their own personalities and reactions, they feel real. They had me rolling my eyes at some decisions, but I know it was meant to. Once you start yelling and cursing at characters while listening you know you’re invested!
This story had secrets, friendship, fear, lust, laughter, and to my surprise I did sob like a baby. It’s exactly what I wanted, something familiar in a new tale never done before. They are in the thick of it and the author doesn’t sugar coat things, I really enjoyed the depth and flaws of these characters that felt grounded in the story itself.
And I have to say the voice actress was EVERYTHING I needed! She actually told the story, she didn’t read it line by line. She slowed when things were sad and sped up when it changed to a fight at such a perfect inflection I hung on every word. She read it like I would read a physical book, with emotion, and I find that is very hard to come by! Not once did I redo a sentence in my head to change the tone, she nailed it. The character voices were wonderful and she had a perfect levelled volume throughout. Cannot say enough good things about this performance!
Jumping to the second book now, cannot wait!
