Why these tropes fit
Silla Nordvig flees execution after her father's murder sends her on a thousand-mile quest across the treacherous Road of Bones to reach a shield-house in Kopa. With the queen's assassin hunting her, she stows away in a Bloodaxe Crew wagon, where she must win over brooding leader Axe Eyes while avoiding the distraction of his handsome right-hand man, the Wolf, in a Viking-fairy-tale world of warbands and creatures of darkness.
