Return to the Kingdom of Iseldur in Kingdom of Claw, a Viking-inspired romantasy where enemies become lovers and dark secrets hide around every corner . . .

Silla Nordvig survived the Road of Bones. In the aftermath of her journey, her 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, ruthless leader of the Bloodaxe Crew. But Silla soon discovers Rey has been keeping secrets of his own, and they're forced into hiding together.

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 when she discovers her foster mother hasbeen keeping the biggest secret of all, everything changes.

Saga's goal: dismantle Queen Signe's plans piece by piece. The only problem? The handsome Zagadkian dignitary who knows far too many of her secrets. Meanwhile, dark threads continue to weave themselves through Iseldur as magic long thought dead begins to wake.

In this epic sequel to BookTok sensation The Road of Bones by Demi Winters, two women must find the strength to step into their destiny and stop chaos from sweeping across a world on the brink of collapse - perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and Fourth Wing.

Continue Silla and Saga's journey in Dawn of the North, the third breathtaking book in the Ashen romantasy series.
