corner in the sequel to the Viking-inspired romantic fantasy The Road of Bones . In the
aftermath of a harrowing journey Silla Nordvig’s dreams of a simple life have been shattered.
Beaten betrayed and reeling from the revelation of her true name she flees Kopa with Reynir
Galtung the ruthless leader of the Bloodaxe Crew. But when they're forced into hiding together
Silla soon discovers that Rey has been keeping secrets of his own. Stuck in a shield-home with
the murderous man she thought she knew Silla forms a new plan: master the magic flowing
through her veins to save her sister. But before she can do that Silla must face her most
formidable opponent yet—her own inner demons. Saga Volsik has nothing to lose. They’ve
murdered her family. Stolen her throne. And now they expect her to marry their son but not if
she can dismantle Queen Signe’s plans first. The only problem? The handsome Zagadkian dignitary
who knows far too many of her secrets. Silla and Saga will need to find the strength to step
into their destiny and stop chaos from sweeping across the land. Meanwhile dark threads
continue to weave themselves through Íseldur as magic long thought dead begins to wake.
