Silla Nordvig is running out of time—and luck. Hunted by the queen’s ruthless assassin, she must survive the perilous Road of Bones, a thousand miles of brutal landscapes, monstrous warbands, and one very persistent killer. Her only shot? Stowing away with the Bloodaxe Crew—a gang of thieves led by a brooding captain and his dangerously charming second-in-command. Winning them over is risky. Trusting them? Suicidal. But reaching Kopa and claiming her family’s hidden legacy is the only way to survive… assuming the road, the Crew, or the assassin don’t claim her first. With danger at every turn and betrayal lurking under every oath, Silla must decide: protect her heart, or gamble it all for a chance at freedom. Can she outwit death itself—or will she become another ghost of the Road of Bones?
