The Road of Bones by Demi Winters
5.0
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced

A great adventure awaits readers in this amazing Viking romance!

Silla, a woman running from assassins that means to drag her to a feared Queen sneaks into the wagon of a Viking group of warriors named the Bloodaxe Crew. She must lie about who she is to protect herself but even she will discover that she doesn't even know her real self!

As they journey along the treacherous Road of Bones, Silla will learn how to defend herself and draw close to this band of warriors, especially Jonas. Rey, the leader, does not tolerate dishonesty but doesn't push it where Silla is concerned.

I loved Silla. I thought she really did what she had to do to get where she needed to be. Though the tension is palpable between Jonas and her , I was secretly rooting for her and Rey!

I can't wait to continue this when the next book comes! There were many surprises at the end which made me so happy and giddy!
Great fantasy and such an immersive and richly told debut.
