A woman on the run. A crew of Viking mercenaries. A forbidden romance. And the secret which 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 tale with Vikings, The Road of Bones leads you on an adrenaline-fueled chase with fun banter and a slow-building enemies to lovers romance.

The Burning Land is a captivating tale set at the end of the ninth century. King Alfred of Wessex is in failing health, and his heir is an untested youth. The enemy, the Danes, led by the savage warrior Harald Bloodhair, see their chance for victory.
Uhtred, Alfred's reluctant warlord, proves his worth by outwitting Harald and handing the Vikings one of their greatest defeats. However, the sweetness of Uhtred's victory is soon overshadowed by tragedy, forcing him to break with the Saxon king. He joins the Vikings, allied with his old friend Ragnar—and his old foe Haesten—and devises a strategy to invade and conquer Wessex itself.
Yet, fate has different plans. As the Danes of East Anglia and the Vikings of Northumbria plot the conquest of all Britain, Alfred's daughter pleads with Uhtred for help. In a desperate gamble, Uhtred takes command of a demoralized Mercian army, leading them in an unforgettable battle on a blood-soaked field beside the Thames.
This is the making of England brought magnificently to life by the master of historical fiction, Bernard Cornwell.

But just how he will do it, Fadlan has no idea.
