A fun read

If you like third person fantasy books this is right up your alley.
The Viking setting is done very well and there is so many twist and turns.

A runaway.
A deadly road.
A crew of chaotic Viking mercs with more secrets than armor.

Silla’s on the run with a kingdom at her throat, a magical legacy buried deep, and a glare sharp enough to kill.

Think Anastasia meets Vikings with Grishaverse-style magic, found family vibes, and a romance so deliciously slow-burn you’ll scream.

DNF'd at page 167/703 (during Chapter 14).


Writing is fantastic, characters seem good. I had started the book without reading the summary again, and hadn't realized there was a love triangle - my fault. Figured I'd still try but eventually I realized I wasn't attached to any of the characters particularly and decided to just call it. 

Not my cup of tea BUT again the writing and characters are both good, so I'd still recommend fans of angst and love triangles give it a shot.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Death, Gore, Violence

A lot of people die in the book, just given the nature of the setting. The gore is very descriptive and child/teenagers are not spared.
